Void Linux
Void Linux is an independent, general-purpose Linux distribution that uses the X Binary Package System (XBPS) for package management and the runit init system. It is designed to be minimal, stable, and fast, with a focus on simplicity and avoiding unnecessary complexity. The distribution supports multiple architectures and offers both glibc and musl libc variants.
Developers should consider using Void Linux when they need a lightweight, rolling-release distribution that prioritizes stability and performance, such as for embedded systems, servers, or minimalist desktop environments. It is particularly useful for those who prefer a systemd-free init system and want fine-grained control over their system without the bloat of larger distributions.
