Just learned about it recently. It has received a lot of praise as a rolling release distro. Also it uses runit instead of systemd.

It has been praised also for being more stable and better designed than Arch.

And I wonder how it compares to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed,

The VUP?

I've never tried.

Maybe that's the way.

The VUP. Void User Packages.

https://docs.voidlinux.org/xbps/repositories/index.html

https://docs.voidlinux.org/xbps/repositories/custom.html ... and/or custom repos?

& I've just learned of vuru too.
