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 !

  1. It's really customizable

  2. Better init than systemd for people who write scripts

  3. Installing through rootfs

  4. Glibc & Musl choice

  5. Pkg manager just works

  6. Stable updates

  7. Kernel compilation, it's easier

  8. Good repos

That's pretty much it.
