    That?s what I feared. Well I guess I won?t use that distro. Not gonna use google+, just like there?s no way I?m making a facebook account ever.

      You can use IRC, Github Issues, and email to communicate. You don't have to join Google Plus.

        I am a 100% sure pacman uses all kind of checksums, from sha1sum to md5sums in their pkgbuilds.

        Slightly different, per the link MoonMoon provided. Again, why would the developer do something different than chroot just for the sake of being different?
        Because to work in a clean chroot environment you need to mount bind all the proc devices everytime you want to chroot into the clean system. Using such a virtual chroot box is easier I guess.

        Well because looking at the website from void it claims something that is not the truth. Lying to users and not giving credit to the devs who have been working hard creating another distro what his work has been created from.

          Looks very interesting, very interesting.

          I've had arch on pretty much everything since about 2008 but I'm in the "systemd went the wrong direction" camp.
          I'll look into this further and do want to play with this a bit. Now to find some hardware to convert over...

            Arch and Gentoo are great ways to avoid systemd.

              The Arch devs forced systemd down the throat of their users a long time ago, you know.

                Arch forced nothing down anyone's throat.
                Anybody's free to package his own alternative in AUR.

                  its better to install a distro that treats something other than systemd as a first class citizen. arch doesn't do that. i switched a laptop over to void on friday. boot was wicked fast, better than arch before the systemd switch. runit does have a little learning curve but its not too bad. i wish their install was more arch-ish, the current install tool is a bit buggy.
