Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Debian based
Apt/Aptitude, debconf or the alternatives system.
Pro Updates are slow, but stable. It is based on Debian after all.
It uses Unstable per default so it is still some kind of stable since all dangerous packages are tested in experimental first.
Pro Secure Boot support
It supports secure boot which is great for LiveCDs and dual boot systems.
Pro Atomic package management without bloated init/supervision systems
For those with a clear focused concept of what is wanted, after building, the build can be replicated in a blink on countless machines. Both GUIX and shephard are complex but also a breath of fresh air.
Pro Secure rootless installation
While the whole system can be configured using a declarative file with sufficient privileges. Users can install any package in their own local profile with a single command without root.
Pro A truly advanced operating system
Solves modern problems of software management in one concise, coherent, and fully integrated system.
