I'm getting a lot of mileage out of Void Linux. It's more like Arch than Ubuntu, but otherwise it fits your description. It's very easy to configure and administrate, mostly by virtue of doing nothing "weird" - just a simple init system, a powerful package manager, and utterly standard everything else (the Arch wiki works well for it).
- flatiron 5y agoSounds like arch with extra steps. Why use it and not arch?
- duncaen 5y agoWhat extra steps? Arch is missing debug packages, a package manager that can detect bad partial updates, different architectures etc.
- horlux 5y agovoid pkg manager is also way way faster than pacman, lack of systemd is nice a feature too (personally)
- dTal 5y agoWhy use Arch and not Void? I am aware of several points of superiority - a better package manager, larger repos, wider architecture support and multiple libcs - and no points of inferiority. Well okay, one - Void's commitment to supporting musl occasionally leads to feature lags, since they won't push updates that break musl. The general feel of the system is more stable than Arch.
