Could someone remind me what the appeal behind Void is exactly?

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 14 points 1 month ago

no systemd IIRC.

Rolling release and stable. And no systemd... not by choice though, they're not purists, you just can't build it for musl.

Musl and stable is one worst word combinations there is. I still have nighmares from broken packages under alpine that worked just fine under normal distro. It took us like a week to find the problem. Bad times.

Alpine is an advanced user distro. I'm sure there are workarounds for the broken stuff.

It's not their official policy, but my personal philosophy with alpine goes like this:

  1. If it doesn't work with musl/busybox, find an alternative that does
  2. If I can't find an alternative, then I patch it myself
  3. If I don't have the time/skill to patch it myself, then I throw it into a container that has glibc/gnu coreutils
