    Instant Angry

    I DID warn you! And it most certainly is a lot. It felt very overwhelming to me.

    It works when you figure it out

    And the same could be said of OpenSUSE, NixOS and Arch, but it takes time and effort from the user to figure it out, and Void caught me at a time wherw I was pissed and wanted a working system. I just thought “I’m hopping anyways, might as well tried Void. It can’t be that different. And if it fails, I’m off to Tumbleweed”. The system didn’t fail, my getting around in the system and trying to figure it out, after being exhausted and frustrated, failed. If those rhings did not happen, I might have saved myself many hours of Tumbleweed and Arch, but hey, it is what it is, and I found a distro that fits my needs and works well for me. I’m glad you have done the same.

    Edit: Overall Void is an INCREDIBLE project and I have a great deal of respect for its developers, creating their own package manager and init system, which is no easy task, but it is greatly overhyped, in my opinion, as are most distros. After all, they’re just that. Distros. They won’t change your life (unless you get a Linux job offering for one, like the guy that got a helpdesk job for running Arch, some company using RHEL or clones giving you a role for being familiar with Fedora, or the company that seeks NixOS Engineers) but overall, they likely won’t change your life. They might offer a better and more efficient workflow for your needs that’s not possible elsewhere, but even then, distro fanboyism, (saying that as an Arch fanboy, and a NixOS enjoyer) is kinda stupid, as your workflow can likely be replicated on other distros.
