Who remembers Antergos
This meme was brought to you by an arch user desperately trying to justify the mental gymnastics of using systemd in their supposedly "keep it simple" distro
EDIT: I joke of course. If arch/systemd works well for you, that's all that matters!
It was just a pun, cuz Arch is popular, I use Void actually 😊.
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.
Frankly I'd much rather have void. Super cool distro, a lot of things about it seem like an ideal fit for me, I just don't really have the technical skill to get a minimal distro all set up the way I want it
Plus their logo is pretty. Which shouldn't matter but like, look at it- it's a cool logo!
Yes, the install process is difficult to perform. But once you do it, you'll feel like a wizard. You learn so much from the process if you do a manual chroot install. It helps you understand how the installation process for other distros like Debian works. If you have some free time, I would recommend trying it in a virtual machine.
I tried when I set up my new laptop and definitely learned a ton, but eventually stalled at getting network manager setup so I could use GNOME settings to configure networks, and getting sound set up
I completely forgot about trying it in a VM, I may have to go give that a try!
If it had package kit implementation so I could use a graphical package manager/app store it'd basically be my perfect distro if I could get it set up the way I want. An independent distro, super elegant, if I understand right the packages are all vanilla, "stable rolling release". I really like it, a minimal distro is just a bit beyond me skill-wise, and I'd miss having a way to browse native (non-flatpak) applications graphically

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 😁.
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 😄

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
Was I supposed to be paying for arch this whole time?
Oh, you paid for it, don't worry.
How dare you.
when you can't be bothered to setup arch linux:
the only thing void has over arch is more architecture support (which is kinda ironic)

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.
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.

no systemd IIRC.
Is void a distro?
Yes. Independent, rolling, stable.
rolling, stable
Huh?
Yep, believe it or not, it's probably the most stable rolling release distro out there. I've used it for the past 4, 5 years or so, not once has it broken.
There are 2 main reasons why this is. One, they don't roll with bleeding edge, they opt for stable, so cutting edge is more like it. And two, they don't have something like the AUR. There is only the main repo and that's it. The approval process for new packages is quite strict and it has to fulfil a lot of requirements, among which the software has to not just build, but also run on i686, x86_64, ARMv5/6/7 and ARM64. And not just on glibc, but also on musl. So basically, all that, times 2. Sometimes it may take up to a year to get new packages approved by the maintainers, depending on how big the package is and how integrated in the system it is.
