• Bootable generations (btrfs). Every package transaction is captured as a snapshot with its own boot entry; roll back, diff, verify, pin and export/import (signed or encrypted) from the x CLI.
• Multi-kernel, officially supported. linux, linux-lts and linux-zen at install time and later (x kernel install|remove, with guard rails for the running and last kernel).
• A real installer, in the terminal. BIOS/UEFI, GRUB or systemd-boot, LUKS, dualboot, core or full (Hyprland) profile.
• Signed repository and native tooling. The [x] pacman repository is signed (SigLevel = Required); xpm (package manager) and xpkg (builder) drive a native .xp endpoint end-to-end.
• WSL. Importable rootfs plus a friendly first-run setup.
