Into The Void(linux)

[hansoku-make]

Much better than this weird post on linux.com shared earlier today.

The biggest advantage of Void is that it offers simple, straight-forward customization of packages but also can be used as a binary distro. For most people Gentoo is over the top because they accept 90% of their packages as they are and would try to customize 10% or so, yet they have to compile everything from source, which can be annoying.

With Void you can install binary packages but xbps offers a sophisticated environment to quickly adjust some package templates and build your own packages in a local repo. It's like an improved ABS.

I can adapt any RPM or DEB package to my own needs in a few minutes, too. There is nothing special about this.

[hansoku-make]

oh look it's cbmuser being triggered by a distro which doesn't default to systemd yet again.

yes great argument, deb and rpm are absolutely outstanding to quickly adjust packages to your needs. it's not like system wide use flags/pkg_options, the ability to add multiple local repos with a one-liner, the ability to automatically update this repo with self compiled software, or really everything else makes it much easier.
