What’s “the new Arch”? [Open to interpretation]

Alpine or Void?

Other?

Why?

    I saw the title of a vid listing from Nic Olas, asking “Is Alpine the new Arch Linux?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b0JvPL6tSQ [yet to watch]. I’d long thought that status challenge more typically leaned to Void. Hence the question. Perhaps there are even better candidates for a “the new Arch Linux”… whatever that means. CRUX (once upon a time Arch was seen as the new CRUX… but CRUX is newer! So how could that be!?)? NixOS? Exherbo? Omarchy? LOL, depends how one interprets it.

      I wouldn’t count Omarchy in this question. Why? Because if I think as “the new Arch”, I would only consider a base distribution and not a fork. Unless it becomes its very own thing and operates independently… which is sometimes difficult to say. But whats not difficult to say is, that Omarchy is not at this place (yet).

      One of the problems with questions like these that are not well defined and thought out.
