I am curious if anyone thought about starting some sort of

what forks and derivatives of Fedora do we know?
There have been tools like miniconda. I've been down this path a bit and you
hit a single fundamental near-insoluble problem - up2date/yum/rpm. They burn
resources and need some major rework at the rpm level - work that nobody
afaik is assigned to do (I suspect we are talking full time engineer on
such work).
apt + dpkg on the other hand sucks in lots of other ways but works.
