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?

    Just clarifying in case there’s a mix-up: Siduction is a desktop distro based on Debian Sid, not exactly the same distro. It’s my favorite take on Debian so far but honestly I always have something to grumble about in apt-world.

      I did kinda assume you meant Debian’s Sid, tbh. Hadn’t heard of Siduction as a Distro. Siduction being the actual long name of Debian Sid sounded very plausible. 😅

      Gotcha. I looked at Seduction the bistro and I’m inclined to give it a trial alongside a few others.
