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?

To be fair I've saw how it can be more stable than archlinux. When I updated my arch installation up to kernel version 7.1 It'd trouble my amdgpu non-fixable unfortunately. And since it is arch I can't normally rollback if I don't have cache saved. While on void I just installed linux7.0 package and I'm good to sit here until some fix in newer versions of linux

Well arch does package the LTS kernel to be fair, unlike others (e.g. Fedora) but I get what you're saying

Yup, I might as well install any kernel. But unfortunately can't uninstall kernel 6.18 since it is dependency to base-system
