Arch, void or something else entirely?
the final criticism i have for void is the way they have decided to host their docs; as this void-docs. This bottlenecks the possible amount of expertise you'd receive from your doc writers by ensuring that only those who want to learn git are able to contribute to your docs. this, to me, is very inadequate if your intent is to have documentation written by those who are very good at docwriting but not necessarily maneuvering in version control systems like git. i'm not sure what the impetus was to move away from the traditional wiki model, but this from my perspective is a failure.

Is there anyway to extract the first page of an epub as image so I can use it in lf previewer
Perl has traditionally been my language of choice for this sort of stuff (e.g. this script for converting mdBook to LaTeX), but more recently i've been focusing on POSIX shell scripts as a personal challenge and learning exercise.

Question
And maybe this: The docs. If you need more just use man pages. Void Linux is very easy and acts like any other distro would. Just with XBPS and a few other very speedy utilities.
But a great place to start is the official void docs, https://docs.voidlinux.org/

as always, for more information read the documentation on https://docs.voidlinux.org/, well documented and understandable!

Stuck in grub
Finally, as someone who has put, and continues to put, a lot of volunteer effort into providing quality documentation (e.g. my work thus far on the Gentoo wiki, my work on the Void docs, my work porting the documentation for the s6 ecosystem), i can tell you it's frustrating and discouraging to put in all this work to provide helpful documentation to others - rather than having to write the same things in discussion threads again and again - and to continually improve it, only for people to ignore it in favour of some random (and often inaccurate) tutorial. So personally, i'm fine with the fact that, since the OP's question quickly got succinctly answered, people here subsequently wanted to (non-condescendingly) make sure the OP primarily used the Handbook.

Bash Debugging
We use a couple nice home-grown functions in ZFSBootMenu to help debug things. We have a zdebug logging function that's peppered liberally throughout the code base - https://github.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu/blob/master/zfsbootme...
Hitting ctrl-t on our main menu will, when booting with debug logging enabled, show a screen like this: https://imgur.com/Ge75zkP
We also have a flamegraph profiling mechanism that can be enabled with https://github.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu/blob/master/zfsbootme... . That will dump data to a serial port, which when re-assembled, can be used to produce a graph like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu/master...
Bash is suprisingly flexible.

Pure Bash Bible
A lot of what's in the Pure Bash Bible is horrifically slow. Many of those things are substantially faster, even when paying the cost of starting a new process, when you use an external and commonly available tool. I wrote a bash performance profiler that outputs data in a format that flamegraph.pl recognizes - it really helped identify where we could improve the performance of ZFSBootMenu.
https://github.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu/releases/tag/v1.12.0
Don't fall in the trap of thinking things have to be written entirely in bash; it's okay to use other tools to help fill in the gaps.

How do I configure the refind.conf and refind_linux.conf (and or config.yaml (for ZFSBootMenu)) files properly when installing Arch Linux with ZFS Native Encryption?
All release assets, including EFI executables and kernel/initramfs pairs, are signed with signify, which provides a simple method for verifying that the contents of the file are as this project intended. Once you've installed signify (that's left as an exercise, although Void Linux provides the signify package for this purpose), just download the desired assets from the ZFSBootMenu release page, download the file sha256.sig alongside it, and run:

How to keep Ubuntu from creating a dozen /var subdirectories?
I think the consensus is that you probably shouldn't be installing a ZFS on root using the native installer anymore. They aren't really maintaining the packages that make that work. Instead the suggestion is to go the zfsbootmenu route of installing.

Ubuntu 23.04 Desktop's New Installer Set To Ship Without OpenZFS Install Support
You can install following instructions at https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Debian/Debian%20Bullseye%20Root%20on%20ZFS.html which I've automated with https://github.com/HankB/Linux_ZFS_Root/tree/master/Debian. For scripting, you should also look at https://github.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu. I'd probably go that way if I were starting from scratch.

Void Linux and root-on-ZFS question
ZBM provides an amazingly useful script in it's wiki here. This runs when a new kernel is updated by xbps and it snapshots your system before the kernel is installed. This creates a boot environment, and via the magic of ZFS boot environments, allows you to rollback any kernel update to a known, working configuration.

When root on ZFS breaks on Arch Linux
* https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E86824_01/html/E54764/beadm-1m.ht...
> A ZFS boot environment is a bootable clone of the datasets needed to boot the operating system. Creating a BE before performing an upgrade provides a low-cost safeguard: if there is a problem with the update, the system can be rebooted back to the point in time before the upgrade.
* https://klarasystems.com/articles/managing-boot-environments...
Or perhaps:
> In essence, ZFSBootMenu is a small, self-contained Linux system that knows how to find other Linux kernels and initramfs images within ZFS filesystems. When a suitable kernel and initramfs are identified (either through an automatic process or direct user selection), ZFSBootMenu launches that kernel using the kexec command.
- I replaced grub with systemd-boot

Do I need zsys or are there alternatives?
If you want a ZFS root, look at https://zfsbootmenu.org/. If you want it for Ubuntu specifically, consider Sithuk's script which automates it at https://github.com/Sithuk/ubuntu-server-zfsbootmenu .
What are some alternatives?
root-on-zfs-systemdboot - Dual-boot Root-on-ZFS config for Debian w/ systemd-boot
archiso-zfs - Easily load ZFS kernel module on any Archiso.
ramroot - Load root file system to ram during boot.
dracut - dracut the event driven initramfs infrastructure
zectl - ZFS Boot Environment manager for Linux
