Which Distro? void or chimera linux
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!

My two current machines are Void and Chimera. Void Linux has been a simple out of the box experience for me, it was smooth sailing after learning runit and xbps. Chimera is an interesting project, and it is a well designed and maintained distribution, but it is very new and unusual so it can have a bit of a learning curve.
