    Cool! I read enthusiastic things about Void Linux but I've yet to try it myself, this could spur me to finally dip my toes into it.

    My friend, frankly I vastly prefer a distro that evolves in a stormy environment, but still being stick to its principles, than a distro like Archlinux that started great and then surrendered to the systemd cancer not differently than mainstream distros.

    Real free sw is built upon diversity, rather than homologation, and diversity (sometimes) leads to arguments and discussions.

    Well, it depends on what you want from a distro.

    Arch used to be really a school for people who wanted seriously to understand linux w/o going to extremes like gentoo or slackware. And it was easy to configure and maintain. It was also close to be never wrong on compiling packages from AUR.

    Now their obsession for bleeding edge packages and novelties turned to be the major weakness.

    They keep adding/replacing things with the result of breaking perfectly working installs, especially (but not only) on older HW.

    Many of their devs/maintainers are good friends that I know personally, but some (maybe too much) become a bunch of grumpy elitists. Not an Arch only trend, but on Arch is more relevant.

    Just for example I heard (not witnessed personally) that the Arch devs had pretty strong and unpleasant discussions with devs of Trinity desktop (which I still consider the best environment ever). Looks like nobody cared if Trinity was (is) good or not, the only concern was that, being based on KDE from 2003 or so, it would have "tainted" the reputation of bleeding edge distro.

    Not exactly a behavior I appreciate
