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,

I liked Void a lot. Except the slow review and approve cycle of their packages.

I'm missing some kind of aur. Void is too much centralized and this single point of failure I feel. As a developer.

    The VUP?

    I've never tried.

    Maybe that's the way.

    The VUP. Void User Packages.

    https://docs.voidlinux.org/xbps/repositories/index.html

    https://docs.voidlinux.org/xbps/repositories/custom.html ... and/or custom repos?

    & I've just learned of vuru too.
