Rolling release model that will always give the latst software. Minimal install but not as bare bones like Arch. Even more positive is that they use runit as init system rather that the de facto standard systemd. The only weakness of the distro is that the wiki needs much more work to be able to help the user in setting up their system. No real forum is also a serious weakness. These two things needs to be in place if void is ever going to attract more new users. Was this review helpful?

Very happy and content with running a cutting-edge distribution so close to Linux releases, awesome it is just so very stable with zero issues. Created an Openbox window manager from Xfce, and removed what I didn't need. Works perfectly with all my configs from my previous distribution. VOID uses its repositories and very heavily populated with all the applications that I normally use plus new ones like CPU-X, nice application. Recommend a new user to first go over and read the VOID wiki and write down a few things that may be different in a guided install. There is also a Rosetta Stone page to help with CLI commands correlation with major architectures and the similar xbps command. Just easy go with learning! Not a fly by night project, very well supported with a plethora of information and now the forum is back up! Kudos to the VOID team, highly praise this exemplary distribution. By the way, no con so no complaints! Was this review helpful?

VOID is undoubtedly a very fine experience and a towering example of what KISS and FOSS are all about. Have an Openbox and Xfce install on my multi-drive desktop PC, Currently at 4.19-16 and running smoothly as silk. Normally don't become this excited over any distribution, but it is systemd-free and uses runit which is a target choice for me. Love Arch and VOID is similar, noobie would have no problem with a guided-install as mentioned in an earlier post below. Not bloated, super fast and responsive. No negative findings, so no Cons! Very happy with VOID, give it a test drive! Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 123 reader reviews of Void...
