I'm liking it a lot, it's very barebones which is something I was looking for, and the package manager's command to install stuff is kinda hard to remember but does its job well. This might be my new daily driver now.

Only issue is that since it's not as popular as other distros finding information specific to Void Linux might be inconvenient.

Did any of you look into Void Linux? Do you like it?

It's a really good distro in my opinion. When I used it, many obscure package that you would have trouble finding in other's distro's repositories, were right there in the main package repository of void. I also really liked working with runit over systemd as writing your own services was really simple.

If I hadn't switched to NixOS I'd still be using void as my daily driver.
