I really like Void. ZFS support is quite good (btrfs is better nowadays though so not a big deal) and it’s a lot more BSD like which is very nice from a simplicity perspective. The documentation is also very good.
Runit boots very fast and is quite simple too.
Packages are less recent though and I’ve had pain with some things (eg some QT stuff, Studio and some other misc packages. Neovim + Jupyter / podman solved this for me though)
I wanted to try something new and different than debian, ubuntu or fedora, but at the same time do not try something like arch. A few days ago at work I’ve mounted a VM with void linux and start reading its handbook , and wow, the OS is very intuitive, if you combine its practicity along fish you got a very handy system, but again, I tried because I wanted to try something different, I really didn’t try to satisfy a need. By the time, I should be able to tell if has the speed and performance to carry a selfhosted server; yesterday I started to migrate everything to void in my Lenovo Think Centre mini.
I’m a full-time Nobara daily driver since January 2024. It perfectly suits my gaming needs and also is working very well for my home audio production needs. Might have been better off with a slower moving distro for that stuff but so far so good!
some days ago switched to void linux. It’s awesome
What made you choose Void?

Nice. I hope it works out for you.
