During distro-hopping, I came across this distro which was not popular and it's unfair because it's a real gem. His package manager (upkg) is very simple and serves its purpose well : Install binary packages and build from sources. The installer is extremely simple and fast as the distro itself. The only problem I had is that install/build another kernel is quite hard cause some dependencies like fakeroot doesn't exist in repos, so if a drivers is not compatible you're going to be in a mess, and there is not a lot of package in binary (about 2000) but it include flatpak so you can install other packages easily.
Overall this distro is a nice surprise
