I actually don't remember why I lost my patience and just tried Void then (4 years ago). Maybe had something to do with installing a Linux on a laptop after using only FreeBSD for some time, and sound setup and brightness control being confusing (actually everything in Linux is more clumsy and messy, so wanted a simple distribution).

Debian I like, but it has a bit older versions of packages, as everyone knows, and also kernel versions, thus hardware support.

Fedora - I don't like the culture.

OpenSUSE - I like it, but didn't bother back then and now why change anything.

Arch - I don't like the idea of regularly solving problems which can be avoided by maintainers. AUR is attractive. The culture of clueless people proud of the fact that they installed Arch is a bit irritating.

Gentoo and Funtoo - I like them, but time spent on compilation could be used better.

Slackware - my favorite distribution, but it's a bit manual, so even more chores than with Arch. I think I might try it again.

And also Void has something just a bit similar to FreeBSD ports. I'd prefer it to be a real ports collection like in CRUX (which I might try some day), and I use pkgsrc anyway for such things now.
