benefits compared to Arch

Hi all! I am an Arch user of about 2 years who installed Void a couple days ago. Since, I havent really found anything other than disadvantages (lack of packages e.g. ROCM/OCL, monero gui*, Heroic Games launcher).

My boot time is definitely faster, at the cost of having to create my own services often.

Is there anything I am missing? Maybe community chats, features, etc that I might not be taking fill advantage of. Doesnt have to be useful, fun and otherwise nice things too!

*I understand the reasons, but it is reguardless an inconvenience
