• Uses runit instead of systemd
• Uses LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL
• Optionally uses musl libc instead of glibc
• Uses the XBPS package manager
• Void is similar to BSD, in many respects
• It’s very minimal, and that makes it flexible
• It’s very lightweight. Until I installed a WM and started a bunch of daemons, my RAM usage was not only in the megabytes, but also only double digits.
• It has XBPS-SRC, which is comparable to Portage and FreeBSD Ports.
• Most of the documentation is on Reddit and in blog posts, as Void Docs is quite basic and the wiki is no-longer updated. Some may consider this a good thing, others will disagree.
