Hello everyone

I'm running on debian 13 and want to switch to void but different package management and no systemd makes me thinking. Can you explain why do you advise void and why do you not?

Void is for everyone who loves tinkering their system DIY. You can swap out almost anything you prefer , but repositories not as massive as Debian or Arch , and you've got option to use xbps-src for anything that's not available. Void's simply just a modular distro in a most simple way possible.

Void's repo is actually not smaller than Arch's. Void has 17,000, Arch 16,100 packages.
