Why can't people differentiate the distribution model from the release model. It is quite common to have rolling atomic distros: nearly rolling built GNOME OS, arch based KDE Linux, tumbleweeds based aeon. Arch gives us close to upstream packages that aren't heavily modified. Its a solution to have low level packages without having to build them ourselves. Our features require the newest systemd version to work. Having the latest cosmic version doesn't cause any harm either.

dm_verity (the hash stuff) has been extremely reliable

Thanks for asking. There are plenty of bootc / rpm-ostree projects based on fedora. Systemd-sysupdate is way more low level tooling. We just want new and close to upstream packages which arch exactly provides. Arch allows us to not have to build the packages ourselves. Pacman and the aur can still be used in distrobox.

So yeah we just found arch to be the most reliable option for the systemd-tooling.
