+
+The short answer is… _“because they run only on GNU/Linux”_.
+
+Both [Flatpack](https://flatpak.org) and [Snap](https://snapcraft.io)
+hold promise as the future of application distribution. While they may
+eventually achieve this, they are currently specific to GNU/Linux, with
+very little chance of expanding to other platforms.

+The short answer is… _“because of Windows”_.
+
+[Nix](https://nixos.org/) is a remarkable project that carefully
+controls versions down to individual libraries. However, it relies
+on file links, which are either unavailable or unreliable on Windows.
+
+As a result, Nix is currently only available on GNU/Linux and, with
+some limitations, on macOS. Additionally, mastering the Nix language
+requires significant effort.

+<summary>What the heck are xPacks? Please, not yet another package format!</summary>
+
+**xPacks** are general purpose multi-version software packages.
+
+There are two types of xPacks:
+
+- **source xPacks** (that install source files, usually libraries) and
+- **binary xPacks** (that install executables/binary files, usually tools).
+
+The xPacks project **does NOT introduce a new package format**; instead,
+it uses **the same format as npm**, which is a collection of files/folders
+and a `package.json` file with the package metadata. Additionally,
+installing binary xPacks also installs the archives with the platform specific
+binaries (such as `.tar.gz` for Unix or `.zip` for Windows).
+
+Also, xPacks can be installed from the
+same repositories as **npm** packages, whether public or private.
+
+xPacks are managed by **[xpm](https://xpack.github.io/xpm/)**
+(the xPack Project Manager),
+a program that complements the **[npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/)** CLI (the
+popular JavaScript package manager),
+with new language-neutral features.
+
+In short, xPacks are just a way to automate installing source libraries and
+tools.
