True. Guix and spack could also work.

I guess there are several requirements we need

1. Support for all major OS/architecture combinations
2. Easy to build for rare OS/architecture combinations
3. Possible to install as a non-root user
4. Binaries are available for non-root

AFAIK, there's no package manager that has all 4 above and we will have to
pick which
requirements are more important than others.
