Void. The speed difference is unmeasurable, especially when using old equipment. Plus it still supports x86. If you're used to the terminal, you won't notice a difference, trust me... except a lot more speed and less RAM usage.
Everything works pretty much out of the box in Void. Hardware doesn't work? Try installing some of the firmware binary blobs (firmware-intel, firmware-broadcom, etc.). Check the hardware manufacturer and model with
lspciorlsusb(depending on how the hardware is connected to the PC). 99% of the time, the thing works after firmware packages are installed π.No, just be open minded to new things and have a reddit account for asking questions/getting support... cuz the Void team didn't join the protest and their subreddit is still the official help forum for Void.
Void isn't a industry standard and takes lo get to setup. You can use what you find easier though.
No Linux distro is an "industry standard"... if you're thinking of POSIX compatible.
Well, there are 2, one is that distro Huawei made and I forgot the other one. But basically, those two are the only ones that are POSIX certified.
Industry standard means you can find support for it easily. Void has a wiki but you don't find a lot of users with void knowledge. Its just something to keep in mind.
That is true, info regarding it can mostly be found on Reddit.
