Distrowatch review of Void Linux.

Thanks to Zenobith for mentioning at r/voidlinux

I was considering looking into installing Void with ZFS on root if I ever need to reinstall the OS on my computer. So far the advantages I have read about have been mostly about snapshotting and restoration but I am admittedly more interested because it's a shiny new file system.

I am using a laptop with 250GB SSD. Would I benefit from using ZFS? Or is it overhyped? Any input is appreciated.

Gnu IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox browser.IceCat feels a little faster and use around 60mb less ram than firefox.Gnuzilla-FSD version is 60.7.0 released on 2 June 2019. Here in Void Linux IceCat is regularly updated and the current version is 68.9.0. AFAIK no other linux distros have IceCat available in their repos.A big thanks to Void devs:folded hands:
