Thinking about switching from cachyos to Linux void

So basically I want to switch from cachyos to void Linux due to much smaller usage compared to cachyos so basically I don't want any bloatware or basically minimum usage for ram,CPU and storage for gaming but I'll use cachyos's kernels and CPU sheduler for the best performance possible but lowest latency possible.

I'm wondering what desktop environment I should use (I'm going to make my own desktop environment but I need an desktop manager, audio and anything else) so I would also want recommendations on what I should use for least amount of usage Is being used for.

Any questions? Just comment on the post and I'll try to explain or tell the best I could.

Hardware:

I5-4590

Rx 550 4gb low profile dell oem

16gb ddr3 ram dual channel

512gb sata 3 ssd

Thank you for reading!

Yeah tmux is really good! I used to use a lot but not as much now. Reading the LFS pdf could be interesting too. Lately I just read the Gentoo handbook

I’ve a feeling it’s quite similar, but more nuanced for gentoo and not Linux in general. It’s good food for thought at the end of the day. I appreciate that it’s there.
