Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

I'm running Void Linux on one 11-year-old laptop (with XFCE and i3). My only complaint is that installing packages can be a lot more of a nuisance. The xbps repo doesn't have anywhere close to the number of packages in pacman+AUR, and I have run into trouble installing stuff much more often on Void than on Arch. There's a solution for everything, but in the end it's extra work. All that being said, Void is awesome and fun.

Yeah, but once you get it set up, it's stable AF 😂.

Yeah it's been 100% reliable so far.

I have the same feelings as you do on the package managment. It's not always so great and it was one of the reasons why I have't i stalled void on my laptop (instead opting for artix). One more thing I'd like to add is the installer, for some reason I was always confused a bit by partitioning in installers. But manual partitioning like on arch is not really a great solution as well, because for people who have never done it before it is even more confusing.
