GNU Guix
A purely functional package manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU operating system developed by the GNU Project—which respects the freedom of computer users.
What is GNU Guix?
GNU Guix is a purely functional package manager and a stateless operating system from the GNU project. The package manager is based on Nix and is powered by Guile. The OS includes a Linux-Libre kernel and GNU Shepherd, a Scheme-based init system. Support for the Hurd is being worked on. Guix has unique features that can't be found in most other Unix-like systems: fully declarative system configuration, software profiles that can be independently managed by users, package definitions in Guile, safe atomic upgrades, whole-system and single-package roll-backs.

Said about GNU Guix as an alternative
they both are the most prominent purely functional package managers.
as already said is one of the few Linux distros that have similar concepts like functional package management, transitional updates, etc.

Guix Funtoo is quite slow in updating even the most important packages. Not good for my usage. Might be good for you...
