Haha now I kinda feel like this is Endeavour. I'm really liking Endeavour! It feels like Arch but just a bit smoother of an approachability curve. Lovely community, too.
I should mess with Void sometime. 🤔
It's more like Arch than Endeavour though, just a heads up. Very little GUI things, especially the installer and all that. Well, the installed is TUI, so It's not that hard to be honest.
Could someone remind me what the appeal behind Void is exactly?
Rolling release and stable. And no systemd... not by choice though, they're not purists, you just can't build it for musl.
Musl and stable is one worst word combinations there is. I still have nighmares from broken packages under alpine that worked just fine under normal distro. It took us like a week to find the problem. Bad times.
Alpine is an advanced user distro. I'm sure there are workarounds for the broken stuff.
It's not their official policy, but my personal philosophy with alpine goes like this:
- If it doesn't work with musl/busybox, find an alternative that does
- If I can't find an alternative, then I patch it myself
- If I don't have the time/skill to patch it myself, then I throw it into a container that has glibc/gnu coreutils
no systemd IIRC.
fucking runit
Who remembers Antergos
Alpine is better. It's more minimal.
Yeah, but no glibc 🤷... some of us need it, and I can't chroot all the time.
But it's very minimal with a very small attack surface by default (because of Musl, glibc is bloated).
There is a busybox/musl version of Void as well, but iirc it's only for use in containers, not a bootable distro. But yeah alpine is also great, I love it as well.
Plus it's the base for the best mobile distribution (imo, obviously) PostmarketOS
This meme was brought to you by an arch user desperately trying to justify the mental gymnastics of using systemd in their supposedly "keep it simple" distro
EDIT: I joke of course. If arch/systemd works well for you, that's all that matters!
It was just a pun, cuz Arch is popular, I use Void actually 😊.
I just like Archbang.
Why isn't Manjaro the one in the meme?
I use manjaro and you said nothing but facts.
Frankly I'd much rather have void. Super cool distro, a lot of things about it seem like an ideal fit for me, I just don't really have the technical skill to get a minimal distro all set up the way I want it
Plus their logo is pretty. Which shouldn't matter but like, look at it- it's a cool logo!

As one of the dozens of Void Linux users, I too find this very offensive!
(But hey, at least we're getting some attention, which is nice....)
Oh, come on, I use Void too, it was just a play on Void 😁.
I don't agree with it being a cheap version of arch, it works too good for that, it deserves more respect
Nah, it's just play 😊.
It's better than Arch if you ask me, I use it on all my rigs.
Okay :) I've been using it for a few years now, have never looked back at arch or any other distribution 😄
It's so freaking stable, it's boring 😂.
Yeah well, playing around with the package manager, for example creating templates for newer version of apps, definitely keeps me engaged, when I find the time 😄
Same 😊.
You're using the meme wrong. The "at home" needs to be worse than the "mom can we get?"
I know, it was just play on Void 😊.
I have enough void inside me already
How dare you.
Was I supposed to be paying for arch this whole time?
Oh, you paid for it, don't worry.
the only thing void has over arch is more architecture support (which is kinda ironic)
Stability as well. It's probably the most stable rolling release distro out there.
that kinda depends on your personal experience - for example ive been running arch for 2 years, i do weekly updates and ive never encountered a single issue
