Void is getting some attention recently. Nice.
Void has been great. I was using Arch for the last 3-4 years, then I tried Void just out of boredom and found myself liking it so much that I left it as a daily driver.
Ive been thinking about switching to it :3
I can only say “good luck”. It is not an easy distro. Though if the apps you use are available as flatpaks, you may be fine.
Not easy to install or not easy to maintain? Or do you mean like a lack of packages
Installation is pretty easy if you choose the Xfce version. The system is stable but many things in it (such as the init system) are unpopular which makes the learning curve very steep. The repo doesn’t have that many packages so you have to rely on Flatpak (or Snap but idk if it works on Void) for software support. Hardware support and drivers may be an issue because of that as well.
Ah ok gotcha. My plan was to try dual booting so i still have a working arch system in case something doesn’t work. Thanks for the tips!
I love Void, but the small repo did make me change to Artix with Runit.
Honestly, Void is pretty straightforward, great distro.
I think Void is much easier to maintain than Arch. And I was on Arch for 4 years. Runit is super simple too.
I’m glad to hear it!
Nah man, that’s not a river
That f-ing* autocorrect again :D
