Just learned about it recently. It has received a lot of praise as a rolling release distro. Also it uses runit instead of systemd.

It has been praised also for being more stable and better designed than Arch.

And I wonder how it compares to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed,

I liked Void a lot. Except the slow review and approve cycle of their packages.

I'm missing some kind of aur. Void is too much centralized and this single point of failure I feel. As a developer.

The VUP?

I've never tried.

Maybe that's the way.

The VUP. Void User Packages.

& I've just learned of vuru too.

Does that end up in the search results? https://voidlinux.org/packages/

Iunno. I just prod void in a shallow way and it just works.

If I again encounter something I need that it does not have, I may bother to look what (if any) repo extension stuff it can do.
