I've been using Void Linux for a couple of weeks now on my new machine at work and I've been enjoying it a lot. It brings a BSD'ish elegance to Linux. No issu

  Did you expect hardware issues? AFAIK that's all handled by the kernel.

    I had expected more issues getting the official Nvidia drivers to work but all it took was a package install and a reboot.

      Ah, right, Nvidia is always... interesting.

  I've been a Void user for a year and some months now. It's a great system. Xbps (the package manager) is so ridiculously fast, it puts zypper, apt and dnf to shame. The base system is extremely light and nimble. Getting FDE up and running was a breeze, even with the fairly barebones installer, and it being a rolling release makes it very nice as well. It's maybe a bit too bleeding edge to run on servers, but as a workstation distribution, I can't fault it. Disclaimer: I'm donating monthly to the project, and am currently trying to contribute a few servers to the build farm, so I'm probably very biased.

    this looks interesting. I have been looking to replace ubuntu as my weapon of choice for servers for some time now. I am hesitant of the rolling release idea though. I like the idea that my servers remain in a specific state, but remain up to date with security patches, and don't like the idea of spending time fixing update issues. How is that handled in Void?
