Void Linux Topped DistroWatch’s Average Rating

Always interested in checking out new distro's, and I've heard of Void in the past, but my only concern with these "independent" distro's is their package support and availability.

Finding packages for Debian, or Redhat based distro's is relatively easy due to the sheer number of forked distros and community involvement.

I'll still probably fire it up in a VM to see what it's like.

The logo on their site is cool, it spins when you wave your mouse pointer over it. Worth the price of admission.

Void was a candidate for a distribution on my main machine some weeks or two months ago when I wanted to try something new after ten years of Arch. There were changes that required a reinstall so I thought why not change. I settled on NixOS in the end though. I believe Void is closer to Arch in the sense that it's a traditional rolling release distribution?

Edit: even the article states

The main reason for this is that it is primarily aimed at advanced users, and the closest thing to Void we can think of is Arch.

Thanks, I'll check it out!
