    A so-called “meta distribution”, allows you to mix and match packages from some other distros. Kinda like distrobox, but older (AFAIK) and low level-er.

    That said, I didn’t find it exactly useful a few years ago, since pretty much everything i needed was in the aur or the official repos (should be better if the base was smth like Ubuntu)

    They’re more secure (albeit in many wsys security through obscurity) than private, although the privacy aspect is probably among the best you can get by default as far as I can tell. On the other hand, if you’re willing to do some relatively simple steps and buy specific hardware, you can achieve better privacy and security on both mobile (graphene) and desktop (qubes) devices.

    I personally dislike them for building unrepareable crap, tho.
