Void Linux, is arguably one of the most underrated Linux distributions with incredible scripting potential. The article delves deep into some of my favorite features of it.
well my point was that obscure software is “often” (in my experience) packaged only in GURU, while void has official packages. My guess is that it is because GURU is official-ish while void has no such thing so there is bigger “pressure” to build binaries.
I didn’t look much into void, but when I did, gentoo’s repository is much larger and there are many packages that I’d call obscure that happen to be in the main repos.
The situations I’ve had to reach to guru are rare. I bet that gentoo has more obscure stuff in its main repo, though I don’t have the numbers to prove it.
