Not easy to install or not easy to maintain? Or do you mean like a lack of packages
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.
Ah ok gotcha. My plan was to try dual booting so i still have a working arch system in case something doesn't work. Thanks for the tips!
I love Void, but the small repo did make me change to Artix with Runit.
Honestly, Void is pretty straightforward, great distro.
I keep forgetting artix can do runit, I'll have to tinker with that
I think Void is much easier to maintain than Arch. And I was on Arch for 4 years. Runit is super simple too.
I'm glad to hear it!
