Seems like this distro is getting a lot of traction recently. Has anyone tried it? Is it any good?
Always wanted to try it out, although after quite some reading went for Guix. They both are more or less same design. The package manager is so powerful it seems like cheating.
Each package creates a new generation of your operating system. One of the heaviest pains in using a rolling distro is that one day some core part of your system comes crashing down.
You can roll back to previous version on a whim.
Each user has it’s own manager, so you can have multiple versions of a same library.
It is not containerized software (docker), so you do get those native speeds.
Biggest problem is the disk space use, since unless no one uses a package, you can’t garbage collect it.
Other beauty is since the installation is based on a config file it’s trivial to have the full setup on multiple devices. (Much easier than hand rolled installation shell script)

What makes it more powerful than something like apt?

Cool, that sounds really useful! I might have to try it out.
