My Void Linux review

#linux #reviews #void_linux

I've been using Void Linux for the last two years. Here's the good and bad things I found about it: Good: * Rolling-release distro: recent software packages, unlike Ubuntu, without needing to re-install the entire OS * Stable rolling-release distro: Like Tumbleweed, the packages have been tested before being released * Good, concise documentation * Very minimal base system * Unopinionated: wide choice of cron daemons, DEs, NTP daemons, etc * Easy to contribute to, with guiding documents * Good support on IRC * Works perfectly with Steam * Being a community distro ensures it won't get discontinued anytime soon * Fast system updates Bad: * KDE broke twice because not all KDE/Plasma packages had been updated in the repo at the time of my update. Situation fixed itself by updating again the following day. * Not for absolute beginners in Linux
