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,

It’s barebones so none of the bloat of Tumbleweed.

Been using Void for years without any real issues. Besides some weirdness with KDE 18 months ago it’s been even more stable than my Arch set up.

Interesting.

Are you gaming on your distro? I have an Nvidia card. I wonder how hard it is to install the proprietary drivers.

I do not game on that machine.

Didn't have any issues installing the Nvidia driver and using Steam from flatpak.
