Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’m curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.

    Void is just soo good.

    • Runit is super simple and makes sense to me. - I get to build the distro the way I want it.
    • I’ve learned a ton about the inner workings of Linux using Void for the last 3 years.
    • You’re right about packages, but I’ve not had issues as I’ve found flatpacks or appimages for anything not offered.
    • Xbps has spoiled me. I HATE using almost every other package manager. They’re all so slow and cumbersome.

      I LOVE void, while I did need to do a bit more research at times, I felt like it taught me more about how an OS functions. The first time I made my own unit script was also super satisfying.
