wesker comments on Has anyone used Void Linux? What was your experience?

Just learned about it recently. It has received a lot of praise as a rolling release distro. Also it uses runit instead of systemd.

It has been praised also for being more stable and better designed than Arch.

And I wonder how it compares to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed,

Void is amazing, if you don't mind a distro that you basically have to config from the ground up. I personally am a huge fan.

Not really from the ground up. Their XFCE variant is amazingly convenient nowadays.

That's true. Maybe I'm just projecting, because I think Void is best pieced together from a bare bones install.

It's a great distro to build from ground up though, really fun.
