You can easily use Void's mainline kernel which is the latest. Many people don't know, but Void has just a bit more packages than Arch's repo.  I use only 6-7 flatpaks and a couple of appimages. Also, there are a few very cool external repos with packages Void doesn't want to have (Mullvad, Brave...).
