Yep, using it as a daily driver for a long long time. It’s perfect for my needs and I just love the not-so-cutting edge approach, breaks a lot less than Arch does.

Yep, been using it as my daily driver for a few years now, aside from trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for a few months. I’ve settled on running it with sway as my wm for the time being. I’ve generally been pretty happy with it. I like the package manager and the relative simplicity of the system, which requires a bit more work to set up but seems easier to understand/fix when something goes wrong (usually user error in my experience, lol.) The developers also proved that they could learn from their mistakes with a minimum of drama after the whole kerfluffle with the original creator. Most packages that I need that aren’t in the repo can be had with flatpak. Overall, a relatively pleasant Linux distro experience.

Edit: Forgot to mention, in my experience an actually stable AND rolling release distribution!

Btw, here is a small void linux community for lemmy. It doesn’t appear to be very active, but hopefully that will change with time.

been using it for almost a year now.

it’s been 18 years full time linux/bsd for me and it went knoppix -> ubuntu -> fedora -> arch linux -> gentoo -> freebsd -> void

arch linux in 2008 was really good, and lasted for a couple of years. gentoo was a chore, because it’s fully source based. freebsd is rock solid, amazing amazing system, i would be still using it if it weren’t for aec applications and games. still using it on my homeserver.

void is blazing fast, highly reliable rolling release package system, amazingly simple init system. i have a 3060ti and it’s working surprisingly good on wayland. it’s just hassle-free for me, i love it.

What about Void are you liking?

Works great on low resources.

Aside from Nvidia drivers, Void is home.

I used it for a year a year or so ago and changed for some reason. Recently did a fresh install and I am seriously unable to think why I left it.

It’s insanely fast, performant, resource-friendly and much more community driven than other distros with the void-packages repository on GitHub. Oh, and it doesn’t have systemd so my install boots in 3 seconds flat, compared to the 22 seconds for Fedora 38.

Yep! I used it as a daily driver for ~a year, switched off to try something new, and have recently switched back indefinitely.

Only distro I’ve ever switched back to after leaving, and that’s because it’s where I plan to stay. It really lives in such a sweet spot of up to date, stable, and simple/hackable.

With a nice handbook, friendly community, runit, xbps-src, and multi lib/arch support, Void is truly great.

What’s it look like? And why do so many distros neglect to have a screenshot page?

Been using it a while and I genuinely cant find anything to complain about. xbps is the best pkg manager, runit is quick and gets out the way and all my architectures are supported

I used Void for a while and I loved it! I had to move off because I kept having to make packages for the esoteric programs I kept using (cc65, Zoom, etc.). but I loved every bit of it. Even making the packages was pleasant, and it’s the first distro I ever contributed packages to.

Also, at the time I was using musl, and it was good, but not perfect. I’d recommend the glibc version for 0 headaches, but the musl version was very fun.

It doesn’t matter what backend you use as long as it suits your needs. At this point nobody should use any frontend which uses xorg as its backend.

Edit. As user KSP_Atlas very fairly pointed my mistake about Nvidia, I stand as corrected.
