One of my favourite slides from the #Spack workshop at #Pearc2023. This slide provides a great explanation for why HPC clusters need special-purpose package managers rather than using traditional Linux package managers like apt and dnf.
Next time I have someone ask me why I do not just use apt for installing software, I will just send them this slide 😅
