One of the few things that differentiates the major distros is the package manager. I've been running void on my laptop for the last 3 years and love it. XBPS is super fast and easy to use. It has never left me with a broken system either. That said, I've got the itch to switch.

I am looking at rolling / up to date distros. I'm inclined to use CLI when available.

I've been considering Opensuse, but last time I used zypper it was painfully slow. Has it gotten any better?

I was thinking of trying Alpine, how is APK?

Not interested in *butu, but apt seemed okay.

What's your favorite and how does it behave?

    Hearing how you've been using Void before makes me think you may have experience with it already, given which stage1 bundle you were using

      I never took a swing at musl, though I did kick it around a few times. I used my laptop for work for years and couldn't afford to lose options for some apps. The gloves are off now :)
