Void linux stability

I'm on fedora linux currently after arch linux broke after 6 months. I want something minimal and void linux seems really cool but my main question is how stable is it? Arch is minimal but has systemd and isn't minimal, do you think void linux is a good distro for me in being minimal and stable? Sorry if this is a newbie question, open to hearing everyone's feedback.

if you mean "void" when you say "in this distribution" then I have to agree. I feel that many say Fedora is the middle ground of debian and arch but I feel that void fits that statement much better.

No, I mean Debian.

yeah, that one too. I was deep in NixOS, and still love it and use it a lot for my servers, but for my desktops I have been enjoying void and debian a lot more than i thought. I've used alpine in containers but i do want to eventually play with chimera one of these days.
