Dude… As soon as anyone mentions image based distros, you come up with the same copypasta everytime.
You also never come up with any good counter arguments if someone disagrees with your statements.
While IBDs aren’t the holy grail, they certainly can and will transform the Linux ecosystem for the better.
I can’t tell you if Void or any other minimal distro is significantly faster relatively to something more comfortable than Fedora.
But even if it is, then I would still use something “bloated” because it just works and requires less input from my side.
Booting takes just seconds anyway with NVMe disks, so why bother if it takes 4 or 5 seconds, if the PC runs smoother for the next days it is powered on?
Use whatever distro you like more, and install your packages with Distrobox. Here’s a post I made a while ago about it: https://feddit.de/post/8018330
I personally enjoy Fedora Atomic even more than the mutable version, but in your case, you would have to decide for yourself.
