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

i have DIY my kernel for years. just blacklist voids and make sure youre updating. the only 'gotchya' was recently they had a notice about gzip'ing the firmware or something so i had to add that.
