New comment by ericonr on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/30813#issuecomment-839706638 Comment: The best mkinitcpio documentation is from Arch Linux. They support systemd-less initramfs, so it should be fully applicable to void. I'm saying this because I don't have experience with mkinitcpio in void myself, and don't remember my Manjaro setup. As for features, I'm not sure. Choosing an initramfs generator seems to be more about picking one and sticking to it than extensive technical advantages, but I could be wrong. Could investigate git history to see when drafut became default.
