I've used Void since 2015, and for a person who is comfortable with
POSIX and doesn't want any sort of training wheels, Void is great. For
those newer to Linux, I recommend Devuan.

I wouldn't say "quite limited number of packages", because my
experience is that Void has all the usual suspects. But yeah, it
doesn't have the package depth of Devuan.
