Void Linux! So far so good!

I've become a distrohopper in spite of myself. And so I blew away Alpine and installed Void, which, so far, is great.

Installing it was actually a lot easier than getting Alpine from barebones to XFCE. I had to rerun the ncurses-based installer a couple of times because of some disk partitioning confusion, but it was about 30 minutes from nothing to LibreWolf and Lagrange working.

I don't know if it's really more minimal than Xubuntu, but at least it's a cleaner distro, which boots really fast. mount shows a lot of crap (why is modern linux philosophy 'everything is a filesystem' ?), and many processes running, but whatever. At least it's not Ubuntu.
