Bedrock Linux is a meta Linux distribution which allows users to mix-and-match components from other, typically incompatible distributions. Bedrock integrates these components into one largely cohesive system.
For example, one could have:
All at the same time and working together mostly as though they were packaged for the same distribution.

Some distros are now distributing Linux kernels with zstd-compressed modules. For everything to work, these must be paired with inits (more specifically device managers such as udev) from distros which also support this functionality. A zstd kernel, such as from Arch, paired with a pre-zstd init/udev, such as from Debian, may result in apparent hardware issues as modules fail to dynamically load.

Some distros are now compressing their kernel modules with zstd. Bedrock users are encouraged to update to at least this Bedrock release before booting into such a kernel.

Update: Bedrock 0.7.20 resolves the concern described below
The aforementioned Arch Linux kernel issue was traced to a narrow window of Linux kernel commits. This cannot be cleanly worked around in Bedrock's code. Bedrock Linux users should avoid Linux 5.12.3 and up from all distros until a kernel fix is in place.
