- It's a stable rolling release so you can update your system after 8 month and it won't break
- xbps is a good package manager, you can do everything you do in pacman with it except maybe choosing dependencies specific to your hardware because it does it automatically
- I've had some issues with systemd like slow application startup or some daemons not launching. Runit is pretty robust and I've had no issues so far, maybe it's because I didn't tinker with it that much but it just werks I like it. Artix implementation of runit or openrc is raisinty btw dont use that
- Arch installation is unnecessary harder than it should be and if you want to use archinstall and something breaks archtroons will berate you if you used an install script and it's generally not supported as an official installation process
- It's pretty minimalist and simple, nothing breaks after updates and once you configured it you can use it for years without breaking and still update all your software abd you don't need to maintain it.
>cons
- Not as much packages as arch has (still plenty of them since this distro is like 10 years old o algo)
- No aur (it's a good thing actually)
- A lot of esls(ruzzians) use it for some reason but not as much efls. Idk why

Tldr: it's minimalistic and it's hard to break

I've been using it for my servers since 2 years now, no problem.

so basically the only difference is that it has an outdated less fleshed out package repository and gui installer for those that are too stupid to install arch

I can install Arch manually and I still prefer having a GUI installer. It's quick and simple to use. You only tell the computer the information it needs, and it does the rest for you.

I prefer the terminal since it gives me more customization options and I dont do it often anyways. if you have a gui you cant even choose ur desktop environment can you?

It is STABLE ROLLING release, meaning that your packages are tested and wont break the system, yet you get them every 3-6 months and not every 4 years like on debian or some raisin
Also its runit implementation is much better than Artix one
An official ncurses installer and an official iso with a de and with musl support are just good additions, I use a base glibc iso anyway.
So basically, it's amost as stable as debian without being outdatef and with arch's ease to install whatever de/wm/anything you want and better runit support than artix plus you have an option to use musl instead of glibc

Almost all distros are tranny because they are maintaned for free and from experience we know that jannies are trannies and they do it for free, so any thing that is maintaned for free is pozzed by jannies

Tried it in a virtual machine for about half an hour. Nice, light and fast, and my VM was performing pretty well. void-installer was more manual than I expected (definitely not for beginners, but gives you a lot of choice). Still pretty easy to figure out for me doe.
Package names with XBPS can be a little unusual, for example I tried to install Apache. First I tried "httpd", then I tried "apache2", then finally I tried "apache" which was the right name.
Despite this, I found Void to be pretty good overall and would definitely consider it when choosing a distribution. It's nice, fast, light, and a good systemd-free distro.

Well yeah, its linux ofc its gonna be fine after some tweaks

Distros all run the same kernel, there's not much raisin to differentiate each distro unless its jeeted out so bad like Pop!_OS that its worse than the thing its forking in every way

Apart from the install process, package manager and init system there's basically nothing different between each distro. You can essentially turn Debian into Lubuntu or Arch into Manjaro by just replacing some packages, even Ubuntu and Slackware can be nearly identical to the average user if you just set them up with XFCE and identical software

Whats wrong with pop os, i thought it was supposed to be extremely lightweight o algo

>Distros all run the same kernel
Some(gemtoo) don't, but anyway kernel is a small part of the os.
>package manager
>init system
Those are HUGE things that massively impact your workflow doe.
