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.

The Documentation/Book on the website is super useful for people new to void. (The software recommendations below are all included there too) The new grub should be able to decrypt luks2, so the "full disk" encryption guide is outdated. (I didn't try it out though, if I had, I'd also updated the guide) You probably don't want the musl version for a Desktop system since it breaks in subtle ways, for a (simple) server it's feasible imo.
Fast.
Connman is easier (simpler) than network manager. Metalog lets you easily sort syslog by perl-regex. (Can be used to build alerting scripts) Elogind if you need logind replacement.
Thank you for your info^^
