  • There is one point of innovation left, but it highly technical and somewhat risky for everyday users - libc alternatives. The C standard library is one of the few core packages in a distro that can’t really be replaced by the user.

    Why would that be innovation? libc is stable and ubiquitous. Ironically, Gentoo would probably pull it off but it’s not for the distros to do, but rather upstream.
