Or it’s just a distro that allows you to have a list of packages, configs (when it’s not significantly simpler an clearer to just stow), and rollbacks for both. Depends on you.

I believe it’s got a death and purgatory feel to it if you don’t know some coding, so it should go nicely with the card.

No missing/outdated/renamed dependencies while building it?

Did I ask for a command? Give that a try in Debian 10…

Ok, show me how you compile Emacs 29/30 on a fresh Debian 10 install in a few minutes…

Or use a stable distro, need a package newer than 2 years, and don’t want spend a day compiling dependencies of dependencies.
