Why isn’t Manjaro the one in the meme?
I use manjaro and you said nothing but facts.
I just quit Manjaro about two months ago and i agree.
I haven’t tried Manjaro and I don’t have an opinion
I switched back to Manjaro today and I agree.
As one of the dozens of Void Linux users, I too find this very offensive!
(But hey, at least we’re getting some attention, which is nice…)
Oh, come on, I use Void too, it was just a play on Void 😁.
when you can’t be bothered to setup arch linux:
I don’t agree with it being a cheap version of arch, it works too good for that, it deserves more respect
Nah, it’s just play 😊.
It’s better than Arch if you ask me, I use it on all my rigs.
Okay :) I’ve been using it for a few years now, have never looked back at arch or any other distribution 😄
It’s so freaking stable, it’s boring 😂.
Yeah well, playing around with the package manager, for example creating templates for newer version of apps, definitely keeps me engaged, when I find the time 😄
Same 😊.
You’re using the meme wrong. The “at home” needs to be worse than the “mom can we get?”
I know, it was just play on Void 😊.
I have enough void inside me already
Haha now I kinda feel like this is Endeavour. I’m really liking Endeavour! It feels like Arch but just a bit smoother of an approachability curve. Lovely community, too.
I should mess with Void sometime. 🤔
It’s more like Arch than Endeavour though, just a heads up. Very little GUI things, especially the installer and all that. Well, the installed is TUI, so It’s not that hard to be honest.
How dare you.
Was I supposed to be paying for arch this whole time?
Oh, you paid for it, don’t worry.
Could someone remind me what the appeal behind Void is exactly?
Rolling release and stable. And no systemd… not by choice though, they’re not purists, you just can’t build it for musl.
Musl and stable is one worst word combinations there is. I still have nighmares from broken packages under alpine that worked just fine under normal distro. It took us like a week to find the problem. Bad times.
Alpine is an advanced user distro. I’m sure there are workarounds for the broken stuff.
It’s not their official policy, but my personal philosophy with alpine goes like this:
- If it doesn’t work with musl/busybox, find an alternative that does
- If I can’t find an alternative, then I patch it myself
- If I don’t have the time/skill to patch it myself, then I throw it into a container that has glibc/gnu coreutils
no systemd IIRC.
the only thing void has over arch is more architecture support (which is kinda ironic)
Stability as well. It’s probably the most stable rolling release distro out there.
that kinda depends on your personal experience - for example ive been running arch for 2 years, i do weekly updates and ive never encountered a single issue
fucking runit

I do. I like it. I don’t think it tries to fill the same niche as Arch, as a former Arch daily driver.
Why? Any distro can be used for anything.
Yep, I use it as a desktop OS. Why is it baffling?
Alpine is better. It’s more minimal.
Yeah, but no glibc 🤷… some of us need it, and I can’t chroot all the time.
But it’s very minimal with a very small attack surface by default (because of Musl, glibc is bloated).
There is a busybox/musl version of Void as well, but iirc it’s only for use in containers, not a bootable distro. But yeah alpine is also great, I love it as well.
Plus it’s the base for the best mobile distribution (imo, obviously) PostmarketOS
