screw that I use Void Linux it is like BSD and Linux had a baby but in a modern way instead of an ancient slackware way :
Fuck SystemD the NSA has approved it. I would not use that or SElinux. The NSA definitely has backdoors or 0 day exploits for Linux so why make it easy for them ? SystemD is from Redhat a North Carolina American company and Linus Torvalds has said the NSA has approached him about putting backdoors in Linux and Bruce Schneier has said that the NSA definitely has backdoors or 0 day exploits for not just Windows and Linux but other operating systems too. So don't make it easy for the NSA say no to SElinux and use Apparmor and don't use SystemD use runit or OpenRC. Also, the SystemD code is huge as it tries to do much more than a traditional init system so good luck doing a code audit , OpenBSD style, trying to find NSA backdoors.
Here's why someone would use Void Linux
It doesn't hold you back by holding your hand.
Its xbps package manager is spectacular.
Its Runit init system is small, fast, intuitive, and DIY friendly.
Every package has a Runit run script, and they're always small.
Void Linux is solid, stable, and doesn't screw up.
Both glibc and musl versions available.
No systemd, unless you try really hard to install it.
It's a rolling release.
But updates don't break your computer.
Works well on anemic computers.
It uses LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL
Lightning fast on well-endowed computers.
Why is Void Linux Such a Well Kept Secret?
Why is Void Linux such a well kept secret? Especially during the systemd world domination tour, why was Void almost never mentioned? People fled to the BSDs, switched to *too, created their own distro with Devuan, rebelliously alt-initted chauvinistically systemd distros, and screamed in indignation. Why?
Bad timing! Unfortunately, Void Linux actually used systemd until late July of 2014, well after the start of the Debian init wars, so few people thought of Void when looking to escape systemd. Now, word is slowly getting out that in July of 2014, Void Linux replaced systemd with Runit.
And then there's Mindshare. Publicity. Fad value. Void Linux was too busy building a spectacular distro to toot their own horn, so it's enjoyed by a secret minority.
Void Linux has very little mindshare for the same reason GNU/Linux had little mindshare prior to 1997: Its competitors are much larger, better funded, and capable of fielding lots of programmers and technical writers. Trade press writers eagerly seek opinions from its competitors. Like GNU/Linux before 1997, Void is a technologically superior product. Like GNU/Linux before 1997, Void is an underground movement. Like pre-97 GNU/Linux, Void is a little publicity away from greatness.
If you use Void Linux, say so proudly. Sure, lots of people equate lack of name recognition with technical inferiority. With lack of innovation. With inability to do the job. And they do so without ever using what they're criticizing. And when Void becomes a fad, as lots of technically superior technologies do, those very people will be its new fanboiz.
