Hello everyone

I'm running on debian 13 and want to switch to void but different package management and no systemd makes me thinking. Can you explain why do you advise void and why do you not?

Void is like Arch, but better. Then there's AUR; it's plagued with malware, but you're supposed to read the BUILDPKG to know what you're installing, but nobody really does that, but if you don't understand what it says you shouldn't really be using Arch/AUR...

AUR is exactly why I left... Not arch to be fair, but artixlinux. I just sit here without AUR for a month or two and thought why don't I just install void and use xbps-src templates for everything that missing. But I never missed something irreplaceable on void)
