I think as long as it's just an installer with an extra repo and the rest keeps pointing to the Void repos then that sounds manageable.

There's about 20 packages in their forgejo instance.

Doesn't mean I would pick it up but if you're maintaining that for yourself and your mates that's fine.

I've used the Void userspace for a while as my WSL layer and I do really like the package manager.

Anyone actually running Void on real hardware? What's runit like?

I have my own non-systemd distro so won't be using yours, but wanted to give you props for your hard work and for keeping the no-systemd flag flying. They want to obsolete us? Nope, we'll obsolete them.

link distro pls, thank

>The first polished no-systemd distribution Surely not. There were no polished Debians before 2014?

thanks ill check it out. i switch between void and artix already so this is a pretty cool idea. i usually advise new people to use mint but i feel guilty moving them from microsoft windows to microsoft systemd. maybe this will develop into a better option.
