Arch (EndeavourOS but it’s the same with an installer, basically): AUR, great Wiki, great community and fresh packages. I’m always open to new stuff but all of this is really hard to beat.

For some cult Lucifer is also the symbol of knowledge and science versus the imposed conservatorism of God, so it can be learning a rolling distro like Arch or Void.

Elisa is also decent if you use KDE, QuodLibet is more on the customizable side.

Nah, in a rolling distro it’s normal, they were mostly unused stuff hide in /home, and useless yay pkg.

If you are an audiophile, nothing beat QuodLibet right now.

Yes, you have to enable the service, this is for voidlinux (runit): https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/session-management.html

There is a xfce live edition and a good wiki. Not having systemd is a great thing for these old specs in my experience.
