About

NixOS is a Linux distribution built around the Nix package manager and Nixpkgs. It lets users describe operating-system settings, packages, services, accounts, and other system components in configuration files, then build and activate the resulting system with NixOS tools. This declarative approach supports maintaining repeatable configurations across personal computers and groups of servers, while system generations allow users to select or roll back to earlier configurations. NixOS provides graphical and minimal installation images for supported 64-bit Intel/AMD and ARM systems, and can also be deployed as virtual machine images or on Amazon EC2. It is intended for Linux users, developers, and system administrators who want to define and manage workstation, server, or cloud-machine environments through versionable configuration.

About

Void is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic Linux kernel. Its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection. It is available for a variety of platforms. Software packages can be built natively or cross compiled through the XBPS source packages collection. Unlike trillions of other existing distros, Void is not a modification of an existing distribution. Void's package manager and build system have been written from scratch. Void Linux supports both the musl and GNU libc implementations, patching incompatible software when necessary and working with upstream developers to improve the correctness and portability of their projects.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • -Cutting edge -XPBS installer is easy to learn as it follows Arch's Pacman commands closely -RunIt init system instead of SystemD. - Can install via Calimares or CMD - Musl or Glibc
  • I used 3-4 years Arc Linux by the way. Then I decided to use Void Linux. It is fast, rolling release and stable.

Cons

  • -No AUR -New distro=less programs -Musl isn't standard in Linux,BSD or Microsoft, it's the future but software programmers need to catch up to the new ways, as it's superior by a LARGE MARGIN.
  • Not famous as much as Arch Linux which deserves more. For that why sometimes you may face lack of documentary but if you have a general Linux knowledge you may overcome all problems.
