Yes HUGE props to Void Linux. https://voidlinux.org/

Wonderfully under-rated. Robust as anything and SO FAST. It was my sole desktop OS for years, and while I’m dabbling with Debian right now, I miss Void the most. So lean and snappy.

Coming from OpenBSD and FreeBSD, Void Linux feels almost the same. Same rc init scripts and such.

What made you leave Void? I tried Debian, but I just couldn't do it; too dated and too many workarounds for the dated bugs. I tried Testing and Sid as well, but the only taste that I was left with was that these, somewhat obviously, are not meant to be production distributions and, while they get newer stuff, they're simply too buggy for daily use.

In case you were not aware, there is a large overlap between people who work/worked on NetBSD and OpenBSD that also work on Void Linux, which is why Void feels like that. Juan Pardines being an example of one individual.
