TL;DR:

  • Completely new distro, not just another fork of Ubuntu or Arch
  • Right now not usable at all. Mostly thought for testing the concepts and underlying technologies, like the new package manager.
  • Currently offers stock Gnome, but Cosmic will follow
  • New package manager called moss
  • Image based distro, very similar to Fedora Atomic with OSTree, with rollbacks and stuff

WHY? GOD WHY?!?!?!? Why another new package manager?????

I think that's the beauty of Linux, no?

Don't like something? Search for something that suits you.

Can't find something that suits you but know how to code? Create something that suits you.

I'm waiting for the-crotchOS, a distro that caters to me specifically and no one else

Yeah, it is, but users avoid systems with high fragmentation. I'm not against create 1 billion package managers, but IMO distros should ship a default one (I'm in favor of something cross-distro, like Flatpaks) and if I want something different I just install it
