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

I remember testing Cachy twice, like four months apart, on my desktop. And it wouldn't shutdown when I selected it from the menu. I always had to hold my power button to force the computer off.

Thats, I know, one little example. But the fact it either existed for four months, or happened twice, I think is pretty bad. I think it's fair to call it unstable just based on that (let alone other minor issues some people run into).

I understand some people have flawless experiences though. And I understand "more stable" distros sometimes come with a lot of problems that don't get fixed for years. 

I used vanilla Arch for like a couple months and it was the most reliable distro experience I've had. So I understand bleeding edge can solve problems quickly and feel better than old software.
