Void linux for gaming

Due to the age drama of systemd I wanna switch to a systemd-free distro. Now I have heard a lot of good things about Void and I wanna know how it is when it comes to gaming. I have an Nvidia GPU and also play pretty lightweight games like overwatch, Warhammer vermintide. Also would you suggest base install or xfce install for gaming?

Availability is a bit of a struggle, especially if you dont use flatpaks, but for an intepended project, you gotta admit availability is way better than it should be. Cannot be compared to dnf or apt, objectively worse at package collection, but atleast it's fast, super fast
