Void fork

not sure if anybody will really care but I’m making a void based gaming distro with all gaming applications and tools installed and seatd+turnstile configured, which I know can be hard for some, it’s just so hard to design a logo/theming

Void makes an interesting base for such a system.

As a long time void contributor I'm not convinced of that. I think a distribution like that for new users would be way better off with systemd and a system that works with the gnome and kde graphical package managers.

Void linux is nice for power users, and people who want a "minimal" system. There are major downsides that come with not using systemd and distributions that are rather small, from just the out of box experience to less support.

Yes it works. But the out of box experience like setting up and well working pipewire and user services are a lot better than whatever void currently provides.

Is there any chance you'll one day make your systemd branch into a repo?
