Does it have a separate add-on store?

Well, it's up to you to decide if advantages of a distro are more significant to you then disadvantages.

I would argue that the best part about void is not actually runit and xbps, but minimalist dependencies.

I wouldn't care about unofficial status of hyprland package, since it is unofficial in most distros.

And about the lack of some software. There is a thing, called xdeb, that allows you to automatically convert any deb package to xbps package (with correct dependencies). You can even automatically install them from any deb repository via xdeb-install tool.

By the same logic they should not be able to force ISPs to ban sites, but here we are. If they can enforce bans with ISPs, why can't they do the same with VPN providers?

Gentoo users? Void users?

Most C binaries usually do not contain everything needed for their execution. It would make them too platform-specific. What most c programs do is that they use standard c library from platform for low-level things and communication with the system like memory allocation or stdin/stdout things, for example.

It is easy to install another shell indeed, but it is quite difficult to configure it. While installation of DE is usually done with just one command. And you can use linux without DE, but not without shell. Many distributions even do not install DE by default at all.

Close, but not quite. This flag was used on the first Russian ships in 17th century. At that time Russia didn't have it's own fleet, so they just used the flag of the most powerful fleet at the time, that just happened to be Dutch. But it was not considered as the national flag. Later, after the February revolution, the flag of the Russian Empire was considered a "symbol of tsarism" at could no longer be used, so the provisional government just decided to use this flag as a placeholder, before the new one could be created. And after the fall of USSR Russian Federation just returned everything to how it was between February an October revolutions.

If you want serious optimizations - then Gentoo is your choice. But seriously, there won't be any serious difference between distributions. What really matters here are DEs and browsers. I would recommend some kind of lightweight window manager like i3 or dwm. If you do not want to configure everything yourself, then your choice is lxde/lxqt. Also, you can use distros without systemd (void, artix, devuan, gentoo etc), but that does not matter that much.

Void was created just for testing xbps. Without xbps there would be no Void.

Various mint apps come preinstalled.

WSL?

I, personally, use Void Linux, which is a 'flagship' runit distro. But if you want a bigger package repository, then devuan is also a good choice.
