I see “blazing-fast” and my eyes glaze over. blsforme looks interesting as a tool atomicity though.
AerynOS was rebranded from SerpentOS, for anyone that has been following that.
Ah, thanks! That makes sense. Glad to see Doherty’s work getting some traction.

Live atomic updates are immensely appealing. I hope to see more of that.
I looked around the documentation a little bit but didn’t find much to support AerynOS being “blazing fast”. What’s fast? Updates? Everything?
performance
It’s presumably related to optimizations like Clear Linux’ e.g. https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-os-amd-ryzen9-9950x So dropping support for old hardware, patching for performance etc. with perhaps 5-10% real world gains over alternatives (N.b. Arch does the same!) @WilhelmVonWeiner
I’d be happy for someone who knows better to explain!
Probably also if you compare its package manager to rpm-ostree, it is much faster.
But I agree, leave the term blazing fast to 2023 startups…
