I have used both distros as daily drivers. First one was Artix after leaving Arch because of systemd. It was as fine and stable as Arch, until Xorg fucked itself in the ass one day during a kernel update. When I rebooted, there was no kernel. Of course I fixed it, but I didn't want it to happen again, so I hopped to Void.

Have been using it for a couple months now, and zero problems so far. It definitely boots faster than Artix, and is way more minimalist. One thing you might consider as an inconvenience is that it doesn't have packages for forks of Firefox and Chromium, like UGC and Librewolf, though you can make your own packages, compile it yourself or use the AppImage.

About the C library, I personally use the glibc version. If you're going for musl, there is a glibc compatibility layer for it called gcompat.

If you have a simple work environment with not many proprietary software or big and complicated software in general, it might be worth considering using musl, because the simplicity and lower attack surface that comes with it *is* worth it.

Who cares? It's not even a technical issue, so it has no value whatsoever. Critiquing the devs' point of view and who they are and ignoring what they actually do is called argumentum ad hominem. You wouldn't be so happy if someone said to everyone that every software of yours is bad because you're, for example, white. You're just throwing their entire work aside because of dumb identity politics. Open your eyes and grow up.
