No Void here?

Oh well... I surely don't use it because it's popular...

  • Runit
  • Pkg manager
  • KISS
  • Up to date / rolling distro
  • But stable

I went into void as my first DIY distro, mainly because I wanted to mess around with window managers and it was a very good experience. Runit made my underpowered laptop boot into linux in like 4 seconds, crazy fast. XBPS package manager was always really really fast too. I like the fact that nearly everything you need is in the official repo, instead of having to delve into the depths of something like the AUR. I also managed to make a contribution to the repos with the help of the community on the IRC chat rooms which were very noob friendly. Overall just a solid experience.

I was thinking the same thing, but I don't like void because it doesn't have every package I want And they only offer old or extremely specific ones.
