  • I'm going to guess that many of them find Void comfortable for one or more reasons including that it's a rolling release that aims for stability, has a simple init system (runit rather than systems), has concise and useful documentation (the Handbook), supports both musl (like Alpine) and the more common glibc (like everyone else) variants, currently architecture support includes x86_64, i686, arm and arm/rpi platforms, has a quick and competent package manager, enough packages, a package build ecosystem mere mortals can use, and a nice community.

  • void-docs

    mdbook source for docs.voidlinux.org
