That's cool! How does Void fare with wifi, touchpad, etc. on laptop? And does it have a large software collection like ubuntu/debian have in their repos? I'm used to having a lamp system and some basic packages like gimp, libreoffice, etc. installed.
It's great, actually - I was anticipating more problems than I've had. Wifi/touchpad/battery control all worked out of the box on my 2011 Thinkpad. I use both GIMP and LibreOffice on it regularly, no problems. I think the repos are smaller comparatively but all the major things will be there. I haven't looked into the process for creating your pwn packages yet but the documentation looks thorough.
The only hiccup has been around LibreSSL, which didn't play well with .NET Core. I actually never did solve that one, but don't use dotnet often enough for it to be a dealbreaker. It's also not playing nice with Revery and I'm not sure why yet, it has no problems with any other OCaml tools I use. Both pretty niche edge cases.
