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.

Do you have hands on experience with Alpine? Daily driver?]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://social.retroedge.tech/objects/30f91422-25d6-41b7-91cc-69e5a181c29chttps://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://social.retroedge.tech/objects/30f91422-25d6-41b7-91cc-69e5a181c29cFri, 15 May 2026 02:05:24 GMT@matthew
If you want a really minimal experience, you should try Alpine Linux.
