I'm a bit the "tweak it till you break it" kind of distro-hopper, so I jumped on the opportunity without a single worry, but honestly it's easier and less dramatic than I expected! Really nice to have the opportunity to mix your favorite feature from your chosen distro.

Overhead really is minimal as well.

I wouldn't recommend it to my grandpa as a first distro, but it's honestly a pretty damn efficient distro for those who already have an idea of what they need/want in mind.

I haven't tried anything honestly, sticking to what I know best as it's installed on my main computer and I don't want to break it too early, but so far so good.

Bedrock linux allows multiple Linux distributions together without a need of VM or a Multi-boot environments.
You can have different distributions installed and run a program from a certain distro from within currently booted ditribution without need of VM.
I really liked the concept as I need CentOS as my primary system for development and then I need cutting edge distribution for running latest versions of various applications.
I am currently running Ubuntu 22.10 on top of Cent OS 9 with latest release (4.18) of XFCE applications like thunar.

Bedrock Linux allows you to use various Linux distros. I use Void Linux with Arch. This finally got me to stop distro hopping. I am able to use Void Linux with Arch's packages and AUR. Using Void and Arch's packages allows me to have a lightweight system with the best of both distros.

Pros:
Bedrock does not add any overhead.
Stable
Allows users to pick init systems, kernel, and packages from each distro.

Con:
Some distros may not work as well as others.
