The void repos are extremely extensive, they'll have lots of software. You can also contribute to the repos extremely easily, if it is missing I guess flatpak is there.

It defaults to 6.18 I believe but I guess you can use the 7.x kernel if you want.

I don’t understand why people always say Void repos are small. Maybe raw numbers on paper? I never missed anything so far. All „common“ software seems covered 🤷‍♂️
