I've been running it at work as my main dev OS for a couple of months now (before I ran Debian) and I've run into far less issues than I expected. It's really well done.
Before Void Linux I contemplated jumping ship to FreeBSD or OpenBSD but Void Linux combines the best of BSD and Linux for me. (Except the awesome documentation and man pages found in the BSDs and it still uses a piece of Lennartware by default (but it can be removed): PulseAudio.)
Oh, a disadvantage (at least when I installed it) was I had to go through a wiki page to get an encrypted setup. It's not in the default installer. (Wasn't too hard though.)
edit: this last paragraph might not be true, see replies
- opk 9y agoIs pulseaudio really there by default? I've been using void for a couple of years. Made the choice early on to have sndio but no pulseaudio but I don't remember ever having to particularly remove pulseaudio.
- aerique 9y agoNow that you mention it, perhaps it was installed because I grabbed a Void Linux image with MATE? I'd have to do a reinstall to check, but I've got work to do ;-) I'll update my original post if I can though. Still, good to know it probably does not come with PA by default.
- a-nikolaev 9y agoMe too, I started with Void with MATE, which brought Pulseaudio among other things. I later removed Pulseaudio, and using only ALSA.
