I learned about Void recently and really liked some of it’s features as a distro (simple packaging system, runit services). Just wanted to hear what others like.

I might be necroing a bit, but not a lot has been happening here so :P Mostly rolling release model and ease of contribution to the package tree, this is the first distro I’ve used that makes it possible for basically anyone. Runit is alright for my needs, although I replaced socklog with rsyslog because I didn’t really like/understand some of its conventions and in the end couldn’t tailor it to my needs.
For medium to advanced users, I believe the best experience is derived from installing a distro that gives you just a tty and building up from there. Debian’s packages are too old. Arch’s too new lol, I don’t wanna have to think about my updates at all. Void is the perfect middle ground between those, installs similar to Debian, and even boots faster than both :)
(Gentoo is a no no)
Probably the fact that updates are fast, but not so fast that things break often.
Rolling-Release, but not Bleeding-Edge.
Void-src is nice
