I would like to omit having the global install as the most prominent pixi version. The vast majority of packages on conda-forge are modules where a global install doesn't make sense.

Personally, I would not mention the global option at all.

I don't know if we should keep adding all these tools in every feedstock. I think this would be better to have it as a note in the conda-forge website. (Btw, we should remove mamba too)

Lowering the barrier to be able to try a particular piece of software seems very vital to me. We want people to use this! I feel it's very useful to have a shortcut on how to use a package with your favorite package manager in the feedstock itself.

But I do agree it clutters up the readme a little. Perhaps we can add all package managers as foldable sections like this:

How to use

With Conda
conda env create ..
With Mamba
mamba install ..
With Pixi
pixi add ..

Removing mamba seems strange to me, in that sense we could also argue to remove the conda commands. 🤷

```
pixi add {{ ' '.join(outputs) }}
```
