Testing Void Linux, an independent distribution
|
Conclusion
Void Linux made a favorable impression during tests of numerous desktop environments thanks to its rock solid stability and high speed. Additionally, interfaces like Maté and Cinnamon offer modern controls and extensive configuration possibilities. Because Void Linux has a broad range of features and is frugal with resources, it serves as a good all-around operating system for small PCs with single core CPUs and reduced amounts of working memory. The user who wants an operating system with lots of innovation but also wants to enjoy the challenge of taking a path less traveled should be quite satisfied with Void Linux.
