I’m liking it a lot, it’s very barebones which is something I was looking for, and the package manager’s command to install stuff is kinda hard to remember but does its job well. This might be my new daily driver now.
Only issue is that since it’s not as popular as other distros finding information specific to Void Linux might be inconvenient.
Did any of you look into Void Linux? Do you like it?
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.

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>
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.
