Void generally chooses its own in-house components (like their package manager) and alternative core stuff like musl and runit. I don't know why anyone would choose doing that outside of DIY/purist tendencies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago It's a fun experiment, and a good way to keep alternative pathways maintained and vetted. Things like Void and Alpine are also great when it comes to containerization when you need a super small build, so they have utility. I don't really think about my init system that much until I need to, and have never had any issues with systemd, so I'm agnostic on the whole thing lol permalink fedilink source parent [–] lilypad@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago* Void has both musl and glibc versions iirc permalink fedilink source parent
