From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I currently use Manjaro as my daily driver, but it is bloatware to be honest. I want to switch to more minimalist distro so i ended up thinking on Void. So any advice? How is package manager? Community? Softwares? Documentation?

This was some years ago but I used Void as my only OS for almost a year. It was amazing. I manage to customize an i3wm environment, everything was minimalistic, and everyone who looked at my laptop screen said to me "Wow, that looks like ur hacking the NASA"

The package manager was ok. And everything runs smoothly. I miss that old times, right now i can't spend that much time on customization.
