The default XFCE theme on Void Linux looks good. The Void Linux live USB also booted really fast.

The PClinuxOS live USB for XFCE seemed to take forever to boot. Progress bar got about half way after several minutes and I just gave up. Void booted into XFCE in what seemed like just a few seconds.

The installer on Void is not as easy to use as the Artix installer.

Void is similar to Artix in that it is also a rolling release distro, but doesn't have the high frequency of package updates that Arch (Artix) does. So it is a much more stable rolling distro that doesn't require multi-gigabyte downloads for updates every week.

XFCE is the only desktop option provided on a live USB installer by Void Linux.

Note: I had to install the 'fastfetch' and 'scrot' packages on the live boot to be able to take this screenshot.

If you want a really minimal experience, you should try Alpine Linux.

I spent quite a bit of time with Alpine about five years ago. I will revisit it sometime soon, for sure.

Do you have hands on experience with Alpine? Daily driver?
