    Yeah, I actually do wish that Void had some way of adding third-party repos. XBPS supports it, but none exist.

    Also, many third-party srcpkgs do not compile well on musl, and AppImages aren’t supported yet. I think I might reinstall with glibc until musl is a little more developed.

      That’s a shame about musl, musl sounds cool.

      I wonder if you have thoughts on Artix? I’m going to do an Artix install soon, I like the sound of it as it’s systemd-free (you can use runit with it like Void) but still lets you use the AUR. If not for that I think I’d go with Void instead though, I hear fewer people complaining about things not working with Void so it sounds to me like Void might be more stable than Artix.

        I used to use Artix, a long time ago. It’s nice, but I preferred vanilla Arch. There’s not really much else I can say.

        In terms of init systems, I like the following for different reasons:

        • OpenRC - It just works and the commands make sense
        • S6 - It’s really bloody fast
        • runit - It’s simple

        I don’t personally have a problem with systemd, either, but I understand why many people don’t like it.
