Two different approaches to building a distribution: OpenHarmony and OpenMandriva
summary
Compares OpenMandriva’s traditional binary-package model (individual package builds, per-package updates, applications integrated into the OS) with OpenHarmony’s image-based source-to-image build and OTA image update model that treats applications separately. Explains the technical workflows each project uses to build and deliver their OS, the reasons behind those design choices, and how the two approaches differ for developers and users and suit different use cases.
