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 couldn't get hardware video acceleration on Intel working for some reason on Void, no matter what I tried. Switched to Artix+dinit+KDE and only had to install intel-media-driver for hardware decoding and set ANV_DEBUG for Vulkan video.

Well shit. I've been having the same issues with video since installing Void. Might have to give up on finding a fix then :(
