Void Linux

What is Void Linux?

Void is a general purpose operating system based on the monolithic Linux kernel. Its package system allows users to quickly install, update, and remove software, with binary packages or the ability to build directly from sources using the XBPS source packages collection. Void is available for Intel x86, ARM, and MIPS processor architectures, with software packages that can be built natively or through cross-compilation. Unlike many other Linux distributions, Void is an independent distro developed entirely by volunteers, not a modification of an existing distribution. Void follows a rolling release model, allowing users to install once and update daily to keep their system up-to-date thanks to the continuous build system
