It stands out with it's unique init system, package manager (xbps) and minimalistic setup. Void is my choice today. I like it's speed and stability and also oppotunity to make my working environment as i wish. I was build it with my favorite window manager Hyprland and i got the system of my dream. Runit is powefull and simply to use. XBPS is very fast and rich of futures (binary build). Void repository is not aur, but you can find here most of popular applications. Anyway you can use build function or use appimage (flatpak, snap). Today Void is not in the top list of linux distributions, but in future can be here (must be) Was this review helpful?

Most of the apps I use are available as flatpaks but fortunately for me, they are also available from the official repos! A void system has like the sweet spot when it comes to achieving balance between up-to-date software and stability. I do like immutable distros but I came back to Void anyway so if it wasn't for void, I'd be using silverblue. The documentation is sufficient and runit is simple to use. I would highly recommend Void Linux to any Linux lovers. Void Linux is after all the top ranked distro by project on this website and since I've been using it, it's no surprise why Void is the KING.

Designed from the ground up, Void Linux is not based on any other distribution, allowing it to offer a unique and highly optimized environment for its users. One of the main advantages of Void Linux is its rolling release model. This approach ensures that users always have access to the latest versions of software packages without needing to perform full and disruptive version upgrades. This means you can enjoy the latest features and security improvements continuously and without interruption. For those who want to stay at the forefront of technology, this update model is ideal. The XBPS (X Binary Package System) package manager is another strong point of Void Linux. XBPS is known for its speed and efficiency, offering atomic transactions that ensure system integrity during installations and updates. This means that even if something goes wrong during the update process, your system will not be left in an inconsistent state. Additionally, XBPS is highly flexible, allowing users to easily install and manage packages. Void Linux uses runit as its init system, resulting in extremely fast boot times and efficient use of system resources. Unlike other distributions that use more complex and heavy init systems, runit is lightweight and easy to configure, offering users greater control over system services. This simplicity is particularly attractive for those looking for an operating system that does exactly what you need without unnecessary complications. One of the most notable features of Void Linux is its support for multiple architectures, including x86, x86_64, ARM, and ARM64. This makes it a versatile option for a variety of devices, from servers to embedded devices. This versatility allows users to use Void Linux in different contexts and platforms, maximizing performance in each one. Moreover, the Void Linux community, although smaller compared to other popular distributions, is very active and dedicated. Void Linux developers and users are committed to quality and efficiency, which is reflected in the ongoing support and development of the system. The available documentation is clear and sufficient, making it easy for new users to learn and adapt to the distribution quickly. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 192 reader reviews of Void...
