Void Linux, is arguably one of the most underrated Linux distributions with incredible scripting potential. The article delves deep into some of my favorite features of it.
I didn’t look much into void, but when I did, gentoo’s repository is much larger and there are many packages that I’d call obscure that happen to be in the main repos.
The situations I’ve had to reach to guru are rare. I bet that gentoo has more obscure stuff in its main repo, though I don’t have the numbers to prove it.
I also don’t have any numbers. It was anecdotal evidence, I’m sure your experience is different. I mean it probably doesn’t even matter whether it’s source based because these obscure packages should compile pretty fast anyways.
idk I guess my initial argument should be changed to something like “each does some things differently, one might prefer one or the other, in my experience void does binary packages a bit better although it doesn’t really matter tbh”
