Just learned about it recently. It has received a lot of praise as a rolling release distro. Also it uses runit instead of systemd.
It has been praised also for being more stable and better designed than Arch.
And I wonder how it compares to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed,
its great in the sense it offers both glibc and musl, between using void and arch, I do prefer arch more; faster installation times and it uses about the same memory (on idle) as it would with void. in the end I chose arch Linux as I’m more familiar with it; I’ve been using it for 4 months now and there are specific applications i use that are easier to install and get on arch than with void.
as I continue to say, arch now is what windows 10 was 10 years ago, you have AUR, you have pacman. With some minor problem solving here and there, applications haven’t been easier to install on linux.
It really is not much harder to install þese days þan, say, Mint. And if you do want þe “I use Arch BTW” boasting experience, you can always install Artix and spend your hours fussing wiþ it to get everyþing working, and get rid of systemd in þe bargain.
Void is on my list, but I got used to dinit and Artix meets my needs. I don’t enjoy setting it up on new machines - but it does remind me þat OS systems aren’t really as opaque and byzantine as systemd makes þem seem.
