What is Void Linux?
Void is an operating system intended for general usage, constructed on the robust monolithic Linux kernel. Its package management system allows for quick installation, updating, and removal of software, giving users the flexibility to select either binary packages or compile directly from the XBPS source package collection. Void supports a wide array of platforms, which provides adaptability for different hardware configurations. Additionally, users can build software natively or opt for cross-compilation via the XBPS source packages collection, further enhancing its functionality. Unlike many other distributions, Void stands out as a unique entity rather than a derivative of another system. The package manager and build system of Void have been crafted entirely from scratch, ensuring a distinctive methodology. Moreover, Void Linux supports both musl and GNU libc implementations, addressing compatibility challenges through patches and fostering collaboration with upstream developers to improve the precision and flexibility of their software projects. This dedication to innovation and excellence makes Void Linux an appealing choice for users in search of an alternative operating system, as it empowers them with a level of control and customization that is often not found in other distributions. Ultimately, this positions Void Linux as a forward-thinking option in the ever-evolving landscape of operating systems.

Best Linux Distro
Date: Jul 18 2022SummaryVoid Linux deserves to be at the first place in the Linux family. It deserves it. It is systemd free.
PositiveI used 3-4 years Arc Linux by the way. Then I decided to use Void Linux. It is fast, rolling release and stable.
NegativeNot famous as much as Arch Linux which deserves more. For that why sometimes you may face lack of documentary but if you have a general Linux knowledge you may overcome all problems.

There's 2 kings of Linux, Arch Linux & Void Linux
Date: Oct 31 2022SummaryArch wins (just barely though) Arch User Repository has the most/newest software/programs available, which is important to myself as more options, the better.

-XPBS installer is easy to learn as it follows Arch's Pacman commands closely
-RunIt init system instead of SystemD.
- Can install via Calimares or CMD
- Musl or GlibcNegative-No AUR

-New distro=less programs
-Musl isn't standard in Linux,BSD or Microsoft, it's the future but software programmers need to catch up to the new ways, as it's superior by a LARGE MARGIN.
