I didn't look much into void, but when I did, gentoo's repository is much larger and there are many packages that I'd call obscure that happen to be in the main repos.
The situations I've had to reach to guru are rare. I bet that gentoo has more obscure stuff in its main repo, though I don't have the numbers to prove it.
GURU is source only
Is void different? Does it have a user repository that provides binaries directly?
My familiarity is with AUR, which does not provide the binaries directly. I suppose you can write a PKGBUILD that only installs a binary, but you could do the same with ebuild.
On binary support, I imagine you're right. Binary support in gentoo is new. I imagine it will only get better.
You already said it, but even if you want mostly binaries, gentoo is becoming a distribution that can do that. So I don't think this is something that sets them apart.
Plus, gentoo handles compilations so well, it is almost as simple as binary package managers.
Why b-1 instead of just b votes? "because the vote could've otherwise went to B" well it could've also went to T, but I don't see you accounting for it as t-1.
This math has a double standard.
The author would likely really enjoy gentoo. Imo it has all those benefits and a little more, plus its more popular.
What did the original kernel not support?
Wayfire is not tiling right? I imagine its a similar reason people didn't use open box much. It's a non-tiling window system, and people who go that route tend to to full DE. But I am with you. I wonder why not many more people use them.
Doas is cool. I actually switched to it shortly before ditching both it and sudo, and deciding to rely on a users/groups system.
Been using them for over a year now. I'm not a proud or loyal customer, but it's a very generous free tier and I haven't regretted it.
My speculation is that their main goal was to thwart the teams potential efforts emulating the next Nintendo console. It is likely going to be close enough to the switch that the same team will have an easy time emulating it. Not anymore.
I think it is Hyprland that is the outlier in being animated by default, rather than sway being especially barebones. Compared to popular WMs on X11, sway is not minimal. Compare to dwm and bspwm for example, both of which are pretty popular yet more minimal than sway.
Not just the pricing, but also the low footprint, tiny size and fanlessness.
A symlink works more closely to the first way you described it. The software opening a symlink has to actually follow it. It's possible for a software to not follow the symlink (either intentionally or not).
So your sync software has to actually be able to follow symlinks. I'm not familiar with how gdrive and similar solutions work, but I know this is possible with something like rsync
