Likewise. My initial statement was a smidge hyperbolic, as I really do like Void and run it on a Raspberry Pi. It has many of the same traits that make Slackware and pre-systemd Arch so appealing.

Before I migrated to Void, I used slackware-current extensively, it is indeed the cleanest GNU/Linux distribution I've found. Personally, I loved manually dependency resolution, but sadly didn't had the time to do it, so I ended up with Void, and it really shines on staying out of my way.

I use Void on my media PC and Gentoo everywhere else. I've considered using Void on my NAS, either that or maybe Alpine.

I'm glad you brought up this distribution. I think when we see more and more go the Docker route, we'll see more minimalist hosted systems that are Void or Alphine for hosting containers and container schedulers.

Before Void I tried Alpine briefly, but couldn't resolve an issue with MESA, back then I didn't had the adecuate knowledge to fix it myself.

My list was, by no means, complete. I was just giving examples of very popular distros that GP somehow has not heard of.
