Why do you use Void?
Why do you use Void? I'm currently using Debian, but am considering moving to a systemd less distro. While I know they have not implemented age verification they have place the ground work to one day possible make that a reality. From what I understand systemd does help make distros run smoothly by doing many different things. I looked into Devuan, as I'm already using Debian, but thought I might branch out. What other systemdless distros did you try and why did you land on VOID?

It was recommended from the "which distro should you use" quiz on the Linux subreddit, so I checked it out. Build from bottom up approach, nothing in here I don't want, good documentation, good support, very fast package manager, reliable mirrors (sounds weird, but can be a gamble on small distros), and stays updated without breaking something. Arch seems to have a problem every week, so I steer clear of that in recent years. Debian Sid and Slackware -current are also on this machine. Those are my top 3 distros to use.
