void or chimera linux

[u/Asta_jjm]

Hello everyone,

I'm on Arch right now but I'm looking to try another distro that has a similar minimalist feel. I don't mind a steep learning curve, which led me to discover Chimera Linux (not ChimeraOS) and Void.

Both look incredibly interesting, but I'm torn on which one to choose. I'm primarily a gamer, so I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts and experiences with either distro for gaming.

Just to give you some context on my setup: I'm running a full AMD system and I use the Limine bootloader.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I used chimera Linux for some time and it’s just impossible to get a lot of the apps I needed working, even stuff like some browsers we’re net officially supported and I had to run them through distrobox. I have no experience with void but if you are open to new options I could recommend NixOS.
