The article doesn't mention the differences with current swift package manager build system. The repository doesn't mention it either, just saying that swiftpm can use the new build system by adding an argument. Anybody does what does this actually changes? Does it improve something for non-Apple platforms?

Yes! This will improve the Swift and SwiftPM experience for _all_ platforms.

There are a number of goals outlined on our forums post https://forums.swift.org/t/evolving-swiftpm-builds-with-swif..., which goes into much more detail.
