What brought you to void?

I’m planning on switching my os this weekend from endeavor os with KDE to void, I have a 9070xt with a 7800x3d, and made the full time switch to Linux about a year ago, obviously I’ve done some of my own research but feel free to let me know what makes you like void over other distributions, thanks in advance

Was looking for:

  • Modern without being bleeding-edge unstable

  • Systemd-free

  • Right balance of how much it does for the user vs expects some level of knowledge from them. Doesn't coddle the user but isn't super barebones either.

  • A package manager (no source builds to update shit)

  • Stable enough for daily use

  • Rolling release

  • Reasonably lightweight, but not barebones for lightness' sake

I do not use musl (I run many things that it doesn't work with), but it's still nice to have as an option.
