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?

    No unfortunately I haven’t tried Chimera yet, but its design is close to my ideal distro. I’d especially love to see its package repos fill up, but the selection is tight as it stands.
