OpenSUSE vs Void Linux

The packaging team is dependable resulting in system updates that come in a timely fashion and systems which rarely, if ever, break due to packaging. The versions of software that are selected and the configuration of them is typically extremely high quality.

openSUSE makes use of a GUI tool called YaST to install and setup an openSUSE system.

YaST is very easy to use and makes the process of installing and maintaining an openSUSE installation a breeze.

SUSE Build Service offers packages from the same sources as Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE Linux Enterprise and other distributions. This is the most underused package tool in Linux today.

Both Gnome and KDE desktop options are well polished to fit with the opensuse theme and environement, so either desktop is a great choice.

Stable, reliable, rock solid.

OpenSUSE is very easy in terms of installing packages, administration and customization, yet very powerful in the same. Every user should find his own piece of cake in this OS.

Popular format shared with distros like Fedora, RHEL, Scientific Linux, Mageia etc.

Does the job needed and has the hardware drivers for the application built-in by the H/W supplier.

Directions on other desktop Linux's often force you to use GUI packages or have steps that introduce security issues.
OpenSUSE has a professional community and directions are usually geared toward GUI and CLI with similar steps.

It comes standard with a large number of pre-added applications that sort out your day-to-day use.

Regular and easy upgrades to stable and well tested software.

Much better system then other distros for installing any package. It is as simple as clicking on one button and typing in your password. Adds a repo to your system keeping everything updated at the same time.

Best administration and setup tool.

Applications feel fast.

Fast, reliable, powerful and almost impossible to leave a broken system.
The Yast interface will also give you access to a Zypper GUI if you are uncomfortable with the command line.

OpenSUSE has a VERY active user community. Questions on forums are generally answered in minutes.

A single instance of Void will be supported forever without needing to reinstall (you can update the system every day instead of having to install one major update every 6 months or so).

More minimalistic than Arch since it doesn't use systemd.

An init system with the "do one thing and do it right" mentality. Void Linux does not support systemd.

Unlike it's closest competitor, Arch, Void includes a very user-friendly and simple installer in the ISO.

Runit init system is incredibly fast to boot and very simple to use.

Arch Linux doesn't make ISO's with different DE's. One need to manually install it through CLI version. But Void which is competitor of Arch, provides a wide range of DE's ISOs.

Base installation can idle at less than 250 megabytes of RAM.

A brand new package manager that is fast, full-featured, and tailored specifically for Void Linux.

Full support for LibreSSL, an OpenSSL fork focused on maximizing security. The xbps-src package builder works in a similar manner to BSD's ports collection.

Musl libc is lighter and faster than bloated glibc. Musl has been argued to be more secure overall than glibc also but is also not supported by all software.

Unlike the Arch Forum, it is a friendly forum (although small).

Xbps-src is a source packages collection which is pretty similar to FreeBSD's ports and may replace AUR for Void users.

There are some packages in official repos, than may be found only in AUR.

Neofetch looks good.

Uses runit instead of systemd.
