I’ve been using it everyday for about ten years now.

It’s a really good distro in my opinion. When I used it, many obscure package that you would have trouble finding in other’s distro’s repositories, were right there in the main package repository of void. I also really liked working with runit over systemd as writing your own services was really simple.

If I hadn’t switched to NixOS I’d still be using void as my daily driver.

Never heard of it, but I enjoy torturing myself trying to install Linux on shit and then never using it. So I might try to put it on an old dogshit Chromebook laptop I keep trying to make useful. Unsuccessful so far.

I adore Void; it’s been my daily driver for about 5-6 years now. Simple, fast, easy to configure, and the Void Handbook does a great job of detailing Void-specific items that you wouldn’t necessarily be able to find in the Arch Wiki, for example.

the package manager’s command to install stuff is kinda hard to remember but does its job well

xbps is incredible and very fast, but if you’re having trouble remembering the commands or just don’t want to have to type the chain, I’d recommend looking at vpm. It’s a very apt-like way to manage it e.g. vpm update vs xbps-install -Su and vpm search <package> vs xbps-query -Rs <package>

It’s very good. Stable, good repositories, I like runit more than systemd when it comes to management and simplicity in learning and using it. Very similar to OpenBSD’s rc which I also found very nice.

However I changed to Parabola because Arch has good support and pulseaudio gets fucky if you use anything but systemd 🙄

What a hunk of junk pottering ware, but that is more of a problem with interchangeability getting more and more lost in Linux.

If Haiku gets far enough into “usable” territory, I’ll try using it as well because it seems the opposite of OpenBSD when using on the desktop.
