I'm gonna distro-hop today. Tell me what to try. If it's awful I may laugh at you. (e.g. Manjaro, Gentoo...)
:voidlinux: has been solid going on 5yrs, selling points to me:
- LFS not a repackage
- xbps works
- runit native, :nosystemd:
- binary package repo
only negative so far:
opinionated about what's in the repos (removed crypto packages like monerod out of the blue), but not really a big deal. Sometimes setting up runit services and logging can be annoying too, but if you don't mind LLMs they can do all that boilerplate pretty easily these days
