Right but as I said from the context it was clear he was talking about distro package managers, not language package managers.

Nix requires root (at least by default). Brew I'll give you - I didn't know you can use it on Linux. Do people actually do that enough that it works reliably?

I don't think that was clear. If they really meant that, which I honestly doubt because it would be so obviously false, then I agree with you.

Clearly talking about OS level package managers.
