Description

Arch Linux is a self-sufficient, x86-64 general-purpose GNU/Linux distribution that aims to deliver the most current stable software versions through a rolling-release approach. Its standard installation offers a bare-minimum base system, allowing users to customize their setup by installing only the necessary components. The philosophy of Arch Linux emphasizes simplicity, defined as the absence of unnecessary enhancements or alterations. The distribution provides software as originally released by upstream developers, minimizing downstream modifications, and avoiding patches that are not accepted upstream; any changes made are predominantly backported bug fixes that will be addressed in the next release. Furthermore, Arch includes the configuration files from upstream, with changes limited to specific distribution needs, such as modifying file paths within the system. Notably, Arch does not incorporate automation features like automatically enabling services upon package installation, thereby maintaining user control over their environment. This approach allows users to tailor their systems closely to their needs, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of their operating system.

Description

Void is an operating system designed for general use, built on the monolithic Linux kernel. Its package management system facilitates the swift installation, updating, and removal of software; users can choose from binary packages or compile directly from source using the XBPS source packages collection. Void is compatible with numerous platforms, providing flexibility for various hardware environments. Additionally, software can be built natively or cross-compiled through the XBPS source packages collection, enhancing its versatility. In contrast to countless other distributions, Void is an original creation and not a derivative of any existing system. The package manager and build system of Void have been developed entirely from the ground up, ensuring a unique approach. Furthermore, Void Linux accommodates both musl and GNU libc implementations, addressing compatibility issues with patches and collaborating with upstream developers to enhance the accuracy and adaptability of their software projects. This commitment to innovation and quality makes Void Linux a distinct choice for users seeking an alternative operating system.
