NixOS is great for granularity since everything is “reinstalled” every single time you change your configuration, and it’s extremely customizable.
CachyOS is great for when you want a lot of pre-optimized software for your specific CPU archirecture, but you don’t want to compile everything.
Artix is great for when you want Arch minus systemd.
Alpine is great for when you want a very lightweight system, also without systemd, but also using musl instead of glibc.

I think I ran an alpine container on my Arch Linux box way back when. So that means the init system is not part of the Kernel shared between host OS and container? I guess it would be cool to get my Linux book out and see what the kernel defines.
