Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve seen a lot of content that’s ripping on Arch Linux, from pictures of stickers being removed from laptops, to comments about it having a lot of bloat or frustrating package management. Was there a change to their policies, strategies, or distro that has turned this once proud vessel into a floating psycho ward?

    No, people just realized Void exists.

      I fail to see any reason to prefer Void over Arch. Few people really care about using systemd or glibc.

        Ummm… it’s faster and more reliable maybe…

        And Void also has a glibc version, not just musl. In fact, most users use the glibc version. More advanced users use musl with a glibc chroot.
