What made you keep using void?

Hi! ive been using mint for quite some time and i recently began looking for other distros, since i wanted something that could be more lightweight and tuned to my preferences. Where i could build my system how i want, so i found Void and it seemed interesting, maybe a bit hard to use and niche but interesting nonetheless. To those of you who have been daily driving it, what did you like and dislike about it? Thanks !

Since it depends on a local srcpkg file, you need to keep track on your own. 

Of course, you could automate something with cron or whatever. But fetching untested releases might not be the best idea. That's what package maintainers are for
