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?

    So any advice?

    The Documentation/Book on the website is super useful for people new to void. (The software recommendations below are all included there too) The new grub should be able to decrypt luks2, so the “full disk” encryption guide is outdated. (I didn’t try it out though, if I had, I’d also updated the guide) You probably don’t want the musl version for a Desktop system since it breaks in subtle ways, for a (simple) server it’s feasible imo.

    How is package manager?

    Fast.

    Softwares?

    Connman is easier (simpler) than network manager. Metalog lets you easily sort syslog by perl-regex. (Can be used to build alerting scripts) Elogind if you need logind replacement.
