Bedrock Linux can use either (or both!) portage and paludis just fine. What Bedrock Linux does is at a lower-level below package managers - in theory, it should work with just about every package manager out there. When listing examples o

Bedrock Linux wasn't influenced by Nix. When I started working on what ended up being Bedrock Linux, I wasn't familiar with Nix. Both projects are going about things in very different manners. Nix's is a lot cleaner, but

One of the requirements on Bedrock Linux is the requirement that it can be developed and maintained by an individual - me. I've gotten plenty of help but I've been firm that in case the help dries up the project never grows out o

It makes efforts to be kernel-version-agnostic; you should be able to use most kernels from most major distros. So yes, if you have a package that requires some special kernel you can probably just use that kernel. However, you will have

Bedrock Linux is relatively kernel-version-agnostic. You can go ahead and use just about any kernel from any major distro and it will most likely just work. So, if you want, you can use an older, proven kernel. My desktop still runs the

Well, it differs from AUR/yaourt in quite a number of ways: - With AUR, you need someone to maintain the package. With Bedrock Linux, you can use packages aimed at other distros without alteration. - With Bedrock Linux you don't

I threw my own attempt at this on HN a ways back, but it didn't get any traction: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4906343 Mine supports things like multi-key commands and has predictable (if not entirely desirable) undo behavior, but
