For a time (long ago) I used Gentoo Linux as my main O/S. It uses
their own system called Portage. The primary command is emerge.

Gentoo is a "rolling release" system where everything is (at least was
when I used it) compiled from source when it's installed. It's
certainly not fast but very flexible, configurable and efficient.
