Void Linux vs MX Linux

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.

Can create your own ISO (snapshot) and use it either as live-session and install back when needed.

With the (pre-installed) Snapshot tool you can easily create an ISO of your running system and then save it to a USB (or other media) and use "your own" distro as a live session or install back whenever you like (even on a different PC with different specs with no issues). You can even give that customized ISO to friends (selecting "non-personal" ISO when creating the snapshot; thus resetting the accounts & passwords and Home folder etc.).

Also you can save that ISO directly encrypted via MX Live USB Maker tool. Again, you can install MX encrypted during installation with just ticking a box, no matter if it's the official ISO or your snapshot.

MX Linux comes with its own set of tools called MX Tools, designed to make life easier for users.

It is based on Debian and not based on Ubuntu.

It has almost all tools to repair non booting systems or recover files & folders and save them on a safe place. And when thought together with it starts quick on live-session. In addition, you can do these with "your own", customized distro (snapshot).

After Puppy Linux (which's aimed to run from RAM and which is smaller in size) the second fastest (head & shoulders) booting one (together with the sister project antiX) and also has the option "toram" to run from RAM. Yes, not only when compared to full distros, even far faster than small sized or tiny distros, especially when booted to "live-session", about 2 - 2.5 times faster on an old single core laptop.
