Bedrock has different strategies for different subsystems. Its most widely used strategy is to:

o Organize the system's files and processes into units called strata. Think of these as chroots with selective holes punched in them.

o Make resources such as executables and fonts available across stratum boundaries via a FUSE filesystem called crossfs that alters files on-the-fly to make them portable across stratum boundaries.

o Resources producers - namely package managers - are not told about the crossfs. This way, they usually cannot conflict with each other.

o Resource consumers are configured to consider crossfs. For example, cross binary locations are added to the $PATH so that bash can find them."

Some very interesting OS design ideas here!

First time I learned about Bedrock Linux was ~2 years ago via r/unixporn. The redditor who posted was using it with Nix to develop Haskell. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/p5cit0/bedrock_li...
