Seems like this distro is getting a lot of traction recently. Has anyone tried it? Is it any good?

Not just your packages, but all your config as well.

Also, I believe updates are transactional, so if something goes wrong in the middle it can just abort and your system isn’t left in an inconsistant state. And if an update breaks something you can easily roll back to a previous version.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
