It’s frighteningly easy for those who want peace to blunder into a war. In the age of nuclear weapons, we need to understand how this happens so that we make sure we are not creating a catastrophe.
I don’t use LXQt itself, but its software suite is nice if you want a Qt desktop with a tiling window manager. Looking forward to it landing in my distro. 👍
Is the bootup/shutdown speed, and faster package management really worth it? Is it really significant enough?
No. The primary reasons why you’d want to use Void Linux are the musl packages, the easy packaging experience with XBPS, and the simplicity of Runit. The distro felt like BSD on Linux when I last used it (it’s admittedly been a few years since then); I liked it. If the above things interest you, then go for it; otherwise, stick with Fedora.
