I learned about Void recently and really liked some of it's features as a distro (simple packaging system, runit services). Just wanted to hear what others like.

For medium to advanced users, I believe the best experience is derived from installing a distro that gives you just a tty and building up from there. Debian's packages are too old. Arch's too new lol, I don't wanna have to think about my updates at all. Void is the perfect middle ground between those, installs similar to Debian, and even boots faster than both :)

(Gentoo is a no no)
