            Installation is pretty easy if you choose the Xfce version. The system is stable but many things in it (such as the init system) are unpopular which makes the learning curve very steep. The repo doesn’t have that many packages so you have to rely on Flatpak (or Snap but idk if it works on Void) for software support. Hardware support and drivers may be an issue because of that as well.

            I think Void is much easier to maintain than Arch. And I was on Arch for 4 years. Runit is super simple too.

      Void has been great. I was using Arch for the last 3-4 years, then I tried Void just out of boredom and found myself liking it so much that I left it as a daily driver.

    Never heard of river but looks really cool! Come to think of it, I haven’t heard or a bunch of this stuff- yazi looks really neat

      It is very solid WM. If you have used dwm before, you feel like home. Yazi is like modernized lf/ranger clone written in Rust, it is very fast and comes with sane defaults.

        Yazi sounds ideal! Does river involve as much set up as dwm? I really love the ideas behind suckless tools but they normally involve a lot or set up to configure hoe I like.

          No, River is more like i3, Sway and bspwm, really simple and does not Require coding skills. Config is a shell script but it is really simple.
