    Void is my main system but I miss some essential features (in my opinion) : Disk Encryption out of the box and a lSO with libre kernel

      You don’t compile everything from source in Void. Most popular packages are prebuilt and available in the default repo, even some proprietary ones (if the license allows redistribution).

          Well, maybe not huge, but fairly big, yes. It’s a close second to Arch and the only distro that’s not systemd based that has that ammount of packages, whether it be prebuilt or not.

          The scripting system and xtools is what makes it so appealing. You could litelarly have a working template for xbps-src in hours (at worst). And then you just run ./xbps-src pkg whatever and that’s that, you can install your package on your system, share the template with the world, whatever you like.
