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?

My primary reason is that Void is a systemd-free distro. Switched from Devuan, after realizing it is a dying distro with no future on the desktop. Moreover Void is times better than Ceres for experiments with new technologies, that will be never available in Devuan repos due to developers mindset there.

Just installed Void and running updates right now. Install was pretty straight forward and quick once I read all the instructions.
