OpenMandriva, the first Clang-built Linux distribution

Pacman is, subjectively, the fastest package manager I’ve ever used. Not sure if it’s C vs python though, apt is also much slower on many tasks.

This could easily be simply because Pacman doesn’t do as much as apt. For instance apt tracks symbols exported by shared libraries. Pacman doesn't.

I've never heard of that. In what situations is that tracking used?

As far as I know, only RPM-based package managers do symbol tracking at dependency resolution time. Neither Debian nor Arch package managers do this.

I think Void's is faster. Less ergonomic though.

Would be fun to see some benchmarks.

Agreed, so is "apk" from Alpine Linux.
