        I don’t know much about gentoo, but use flags sound a lot like overlays to me, but like I said, i’m not familiar with gentoo.

        nixos allows the install of various versions of software by default so slots are definitely a thing. It’s one of the main things nix wanted to fix.

          I ended up installing the nox package manager on my gentoo machine, and it’s been useful so far. Got some packages installed that aren’t in the native Gentoo repo
