I’m not trying to bait. I’ve been playing with Void for a while, but didn’t get what makes it special. I guess I’m missing something about it.

    i like gentoo and I like arch…I see void as better part of both combined

    xbps is as gud as pacman and is rly fast for binary. xbps-src gives me control like portage

    arch is light by design, but uses systemd which slows my boot, gentoo is slightly heavier than arch (but u can make it smaller) , gentoo boots faster with openrc compared to arch with systemd…now combine the gud stuff …void, runit boots faster , void is lighter than both out of the box

    Only part I can point out where void lacks compared to gentoo is profiles and security options, other than that its perfect

    And overall i like the minimalism, flexibility and control

    I have even tried LFS , sure it was gud in every aspect and was perfect for my needs built by me, except package manager, I’m not rly looking forward to writing a package manager better than xbps.

    P.S when I say gentoo is heavier than arch I meant out of the box right after installation
