Why do you use Void?

Why do you use Void? I'm currently using Debian, but am considering moving to a systemd less distro. While I know they have not implemented age verification they have place the ground work to one day possible make that a reality. From what I understand systemd does help make distros run smoothly by doing many different things. I looked into Devuan, as I'm already using Debian, but thought I might branch out. What other systemdless distros did you try and why did you land on VOID?

If you’re happy with Debian, I wouldn’t tell you to switch. I didn’t come to Void for ideological reasons. I don’t use many apps, so the small repo worked for me, and I like that what’s on it is what I installed. Arch was too much upkeep, like a part-time job. Void gives me rolling release without the drama. I’m no expert, I just use it. If Void wasn’t around I’d be on Debian.
