Void Linux
I installed Void Linux on my new laptop this May, switching from Arch, which I&#x27;d been using for about six years. The experience is very positive overall. For desktop, I&#x27;m using AwesomeWM and NetworkManager, altho Void comes with a variety of options to choose from.<p>I were afraid that their Wiki is not detailed enough, and expected that some packages could be missing. However, I could easily install everything I needed from the repository (except flashplugin). TeX is installed slightly differently, but the wiki entry helps here. Regarding documentation, DuckDuckGo does not show search results from Void Wiki, so I have to use Google search instead. Documentation seems sufficient, and where I need more, I can refer to Arch wiki.<p>With Arch, all services seemed automatically enabled when the packages were installed, otherwise you had to use systemd commands for configuration, which seemed a bit opaque to me. In Void, which is using Runit, enabling a service (like alsa, crond, cupsd, etc) is a matter of creating a symlink, which feels very transparent and reliable. I think, I like the idea of keeping the information about your services in the plain view in the filesystem. I have never been a configuration guru, so prefer this transparency and simplicity, and it felt robust so far.
