For someone who does not know Void Linux, what does it bring that is genuinely new? From the webpage's description, it looks like Arch with a different init system.
To me e.g. Fedora's Team Silverblue and NixOS seem genuinely different, since they completely rethink how installations and upgrades are done.
- reacharavindh 8y agoFrom what little I have played with Void Linux so far, * Void Linux is minimal by default, and comes without Systemd * It can be had with Musl instead of Glibc as a lighter weight alternative * Option of binary packages or source pages that you can compile yourself with -native * LibreSSL by default. Not saying that all of the above are how all Linux distributions should be, but the lack of Systemd already hooked me in to try it out.

LibreSSL is a huge plus for me in terms of security, and the more I learn about systemd the happier I am to get away from it. Didn't know about Musl, but that's nice too [ http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html ]
