       So, I'm going to be getting a laptop to put Linux on in probably about two months, and I'm starting to think about what sort of distro I might want to run on it, just so I can start figuring things out in a VM. Plan is to run some sort of River-based tiling WM, not sure which yet. Hard requirements:-I need to be able to game on it easily and without doing everything via flatpak (so basically has to be glibc)-I'm still not super experienced with Linux, so in terms of setup and especially maintenance it needs to be at most as hard as Arch.-Full disc encryption and non-systemd are required, but doing stuff in a chroot to get them set up is okayPreferences:Good docsNot having to do a chroot install for full disc encryption and avoiding systemdNot having to uninstall whatever DE it ships withHigh stabilityThe less required flatpak use, the betterCurrently my main thought is Void, I've used it before and I like it, but let me know if there are any other cool distros I'm missing that'd be good to consider. #LinuxCurrent thoughts:Void - Pretty easy, I have experience with it, works pretty well. Encryption looks kinda hard to set up, though.Gentoo - Looks cool but might be too hard for meDebian - The boring, reliable option. Currently running it on my desktop, it's fine, but Void seems better.

       This seems to be converging om my initial thoughts of just go with Void, but now I'm more confident I'm not missing anything

       @aens yeah I don't know of any other distro that meets those requirements. systemdless is really the hard limiter there
