Really it's kind of a minimalist linux distro with the capacity to coexist harmonically and/or parasitically with another operating system. Don't try to say 'oh it's like arch' or 'yeah it's a bit like Ubuntu', because no, it isn't, and by design. It seems that as much as design meant to go a particular way, there it went.

It does pretty well directly on the hardware, but seems to want to live (like it is) in a container, though that might just be it's style ;) it certainly seems to be convenient for containers.

It has a certain otaku appeal and ninjatsu stealth. I'll probably like it a lot some day soon but at the moment it just screams 'exotic' in my ears while I'm asleep at night.

This probably isn't helping so I'll just stop now.
