Ask HN: Best Alternative to Homebrew in 2021? |

Yesterday I ran `brew install virtualenv` and homebrew decided to upgrade postgres, ruby, youtube-dl, vim, rust, wget and 50 other unrelated packages. The single command took 45min and broke all of my local postgres databases (and who knows what else).
At this point I should know better than to install postgres via homebrew, but unwanted/unasked-for upgrades is not a feature I'm looking for in a package manager.
What's your experience with other package managers for macOS? Currently looking into macports & nix and not sure which one to choose...
