What is the /g/ experience with these two distros in relation to being used as a groundfloor for a vm box. I was planning on using virt-manager for the VMs. Any other distros are welcome as long as they are systemd-free.
>>106988338>devuanaptitude is garbage. xbps is one of like 3 good package managers in existence. easy choice.
>>106988338void's maintainers run on fumes thoughjust pick gentoo with binpkgs instead and have waaay better support for everything
>>106988338>/g/ experiencesdevuan never booted on my hardware, very unfortunate, because i imagine debian without system d a interesting proposal.used void for some weeks, xbps is amazing; fast and modular, the iso come lacking many stuff.go for void.
>>106988619i don't like the reliance on openrc desu. i know i can run another init system, but you run into problems with binpkgs and still have to keep openrc around no matter what on top of that. i'd rather just use kiss at that point.
>>106988338>Voidjust werks>Devuanalmost but not quite just werks
>>106988338devuan was an easy choice for me for two reasons>I'm permanently deb brained>it's not rolling release
>>106988338Sadly neither distributions have binaries that are compiled with LTO, PBO or support for AVX 1/2.This means throwing away lots of otherwise free performance (on average 40%) on any processor made after 2015.I'm still looking for something like CachyOS without systemd.
>>106992569so gentoo without systemd?
>>106992579> gentooI don't want to compile shit myself all day, sorry.
>>106992587>is not aware that binpkgs are a thing
>>106988338Used to use both. devuan is just your average debian but without systemd, so just dictated by trannies. Void is like an alter-ego of arch and is maintained by german trannies who are also failed BBC sluts. Just use Ubuntu as a VM distro and dont overthink it.
>>106993545ubuntu has systemd which is a deal breaker for both OP and me
>>106995577obsessing about parts of your OS is one of the main reasons linux will never, ever become a considerable choice for anyone who is not a terminally online tranny or IT bro.
>>106995868not falling for shaming tactics aiming for accelerating planned obsolescence, ssd shill
>>106995868This and very unironically.
>>106996058>planned obsolence>SSDfreetroon detected, opinion discarded.
>>106988338>groundfloor for a vm boxFor what? Trying to roll your own Qubes or something? There might be choices that are already suited to what you want. Like Proxmox or something
>>106988338They both just work. Neither have good selections of software in their respective repos. I like the way Void is arranged better but I have no faith that the maintainers won't destroy everything in troonish hysteria, so I use Devuan. If you need a new kernel you'll have to pick Void.
