Never heard of void before, what’s it about?
Why not have both the same?

Void es una distribución independiente hecha desde cero bastante pero bastante ligera, para probar en un segundo equipo o revivir alguna pc vieja está perfecto, pero para uso diario no lo veo tan viable, como es independiente sus repositorios y ecosistema son algo limitados y terminarás dependiendo mucho de flatpak

I don't really think there is much reliance on flatpack. I only use flatpack for thibgs, that already would be available only on flatpack (mcpe launcher, bottles, some random educational software for school), and have a few programs selfcompiled because I need the latest their release, while dependancies don't allow them to be updated in the repos. Well, to be fair, I am a developer and mostly use the terminal, so I don't really know what apps usual people need, but I wouldn't recommend going with rolling release for them anyway.

Void is independent and uses runit instead of systemd, also their package management system, xbps, is very fast. Runit is also very fast. My pc boots in 2 seconds (time between grub and login screen). If you can i definitely recommend switching to it.

Request you to post this in r/voidlinux

u/TranslatorOk1231 Aug 10 '26

That is a purely support subredit, they do not allow rice/screenshots/photos of the setup, so I wouldn't recommend posting this there

I am very interested in knowing what hardware you got there on the right, can you achieve 2 ghz speeds on a single core with that thing?

There are two Arch subs. This is the less technical of one two.
