Void Linux 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.

    There's 2 kings of Linux, Arch Linux & Void Linux

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 31 2022

    Summary: Arch wins (just barely though) Arch User Repository has the most/newest software/programs available, which is important to myself as more options, the better.

    Positive: -Cutting edge
    -XPBS installer is easy to learn as it follows Arch's Pacman commands closely
    -RunIt init system instead of SystemD.
    - Can install via Calimares or CMD
    - Musl or Glibc

    Negative: -No AUR
    -New distro=less programs
    -Musl isn't standard in Linux,BSD or Microsoft, it's the future but software programmers need to catch up to the new ways, as it's superior by a LARGE MARGIN.

    Best Linux Distro

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 18 2022

    Summary: Void Linux deserves to be at the first place in the Linux family. It deserves it. It is systemd free.

    Positive: I used 3-4 years Arc Linux by the way. Then I decided to use Void Linux. It is fast, rolling release and stable.

    Negative: Not famous as much as Arch Linux which deserves more. For that why sometimes you may face lack of documentary but if you have a general Linux knowledge you may overcome all problems.
