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 very good. Stable, good repositories, I like runit more than systemd when it comes to management and simplicity in learning and using it. Very similar to OpenBSD's rc which I also found very nice.

However I changed to Parabola because Arch has good support and pulseaudio gets fucky if you use anything but systemd 🙄

What a hunk of ~~junk~~ pottering ware, but that is more of a problem with interchangeability getting more and more lost in Linux.

If Haiku gets far enough into "usable" territory, I'll try using it as well because it seems the opposite of OpenBSD when using on the desktop.
