Crux vs. Kiss vs. Venom?
With Kiss, musl is used instead of glibc. That means you could have some troubles with some software. I have some troubles with a printer driver for example. I need to use an opensource version, but the driver is worse than the proprietary one. It works. I sometimes need libreoffice, but it's not packaged for kiss linux. To package it, it would be necessary to package a lot of dependencies. So it has not been done until now. If you really need glibc in Kiss, you can install a version with glibc in a chroot. There is a version with glibc instead musl. You could even install a version with glibc instead of musl. I think you can install some softwares with flatpak, for example libreoffice, but I have never done it. Someone else must confirm if it works.

If I don't update for a while, would I have some repository related issues?
Be ready to not be able to run proprietary sofware (Widevine, Nvidia, Games) due to KISS using musl. Unless you know how to use gkiss, prepare to not run an ide and learn vim.

My two cents about Void Musl
Although, there's nothing stopping you from using glibc with KISS Linux if you'd like -- I believe an example is GKISS if you'd like to take a further look.

Wayland & X11 on same install?
What was the problem with the XOrg repo? You should be able to clone https://github.com/ehawkvu/kiss-xorg.git and put it before other repos in your KISS_PATH. To run both Wayland and XOrg, you'll need to modify some packages such as mesa to build all the drivers necessary, and you'll need to enable xwayland in your compositor.

I3 kiss linux problem installation HELP!
This repo is mostly outdated since KISS switched to Wayland. So you can either use Sway which is an i3 clone and in the official repos or, if you insist on using Xorg and i3, you can try adding https://github.com/ehawkvu/kiss-xorg. You will need at least xorg-server, xf86-input-libinput and something like xinit/sx/startx from there.

Crux vs. Kiss vs. Venom?
Do you use xorg ? Officially, only wayland is supported with Kiss. But there is an inofficial repo with xorg support. So only wayland, you must use wayland native softwares, xwayland is not available. But you can switch to the xorg repo.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing grepo and kiss-xorg you can also consider the following projects:
termux-archlinux - You can use setupTermuxArch.bash 📲 to install Arch Linux in Termux on Amazon, Android, Chromebook and Windows. https://sdrausty.github.io/termux-archlinux/
community - Officially unofficial KISS community repository, mirror of https://codeberg.org/kiss-community/community
repo - KISS Linux - Official Repositories
community - KISS - Community Repository (temporarily closed for maintenance)
