Void is very low maintenance once you are comfortable with it — you don't have to update daily, you can do it once a year and it won't e.g. make you look at diff of every config file, or you can do it — in any case, things breaking badly is very rare and you can immediately roll back to the old version.
If you don't run it on PowerPC machines like me, for which prebuilt binaries simply do not exist at all, you won't be servicing it daily at all — it's NOTHING like Gentoo! And believe me, I know what I'm talking about — I've been using it over a decade, but I won't recommend this piece of shit to anyone I don't hate with passion. Void is great compared to it.
But yeah, getting used to it isn't something you spend one evening on — it's very different from nearly all mainstream distros. If you're not up to spending some time on initial familiarisation, it won't suit you — I won't even lie to you about it, even for me, who wasn't new neither to Linux, nor to UNIX systems in general, it look a month to get used to, and some more time to learn xbps-src, but now I even have my own set of patched and rebuild packages I want to be built differently myself.
