Void Linux

Void Linux is an independent and original rolling distribution with some unique features, including the use of the runit init system and service manager as opposed to the common systemd, the availability of a system built with the Musl C Standard Library as opposed to GNU Lib C, and a source package build system and manager that is integrated into the binary package manager.
