I must say I am enjoying Void Linux w/xfce so far. May just switch from MXLinux…

Anyone else playing/using Void…?

    It doesn’t matter what backend you use as long as it suits your needs. At this point nobody should use any frontend which uses xorg as its backend.

    Edit. As user KSP_Atlas very fairly pointed my mistake about Nvidia, I stand as corrected.

      Wayland also has much slower results when playing games or rendering. Sometimes up to a 20% reduction compared to X.

      I don’t like using X, but Wayland isn’t ready for power users yet. I don’t think people generally would notice the difference.

    I used it for a year a year or so ago and changed for some reason. Recently did a fresh install and I am seriously unable to think why I left it.

    It’s insanely fast, performant, resource-friendly and much more community driven than other distros with the void-packages repository on GitHub. Oh, and it doesn’t have systemd so my install boots in 3 seconds flat, compared to the 22 seconds for Fedora 38.
