The comparison table is ... inacurate, to say the least. I mostly know about Nix, and it is to large extend toolchain (gcc vs. llvm) and libc (glibc vs. musl vs. baremetal and niche stuff) agnostic. And claiming it has a centralized trust model is, well, also a stretch. I'd rather claim it has no thorough trust model but is very friendly towards detailed introspection of everything.
Maybe, the comparison table should say nixpkgs, instead of nix, if that's what you mean? To the best of my knowledge, most of nixpkgs is built with gcc/glibc.
Not totally sure on the trust model, but from the options they give, centralised (nixpkgs) or decentralised (all maintainers of nixpkgs) sounds about right... I would see how nixpkgs is one system
What is this for? Is it for images for mass deployments?
looking at the sponsors, it's for cryptocurrency. ("Decentralized" is a bit of a red flag which led me to look at who the sponsors were.)
I don't think it strictly has a specific target like that, although servers/appliances in the widest sense seem maybe more likely than desktops?
I was surprised to see that Stagex uses Codeberg as its forge: https://codeberg.org/stagex/stagex
