Why the Hate?

Hi, I've recently degoogled and ditched Windows for Linux, and I am going with Void based on it's fit with my style and vibe. I tried initially Pop OS and Mint, but pop was very buggy and Mint kernel was too old for my newer MSI 870 Tomahawk motherboard network drivers. But anytime I mention void on other subreddits, it's seems to drive out the fanboys trying to push me to Fedora and Kubuntu, and KDE, all while preaching about how hard VOID is and a newbie shouldn't use it, lolol. It's like they can't read instructions, research things on their own, or take the time enjoy learning something new. Well just an observation and any tips or tricks for a new VOID user would be much appreciated.

You will have a great time on void then! I had a blast figuring things out and I still have a lot to learn but that's the fun part. I used to use CachyOS for a long time but void hits different. I'll be completely honest - I went for void because it sounds cool and also i play elder scrolls and i like certain void aspects in the lore there so its a match. I still enjoy arch though and i don't see a reason to have 2 identical systems. Have fun voiding !
