I currently use Manjaro as my daily driver, but it is bloatware to be honest. I want to switch to more minimalist distro so i ended up thinking on Void. So any advice? How is package manager? Community? Softwares? Documentation?

    Can’t get enough of Void.

    I install it using this method on my laptop but I go for glibc over musl. Post install I setup sway, PipeWire and what not and have a good time.

    Package manager rocks, I don’t think I miss anything from the repos.

    Awesome community around the distro. The fact that they have official documentation is great.

    I don’t do anything productive on my machine. Procrastination all the way <3

      What is differences between musl and glibc? Do i miss something if i go musl over glibc?

        GlibC is more ‘boated’ but will give you more support for applications than musl. For example, you can’t run appimages with GlibC. There isn’t much of a difference though. I personally use musl with no problems.

            Oh shit, I meant to say that you can’t run appimages with Musl.
