| Privacy | The maker says elementary OS collects no data from the operating system and keeps personal data on-device unless the user shares it with a third-party app or service. | Void’s PopCorn usage reporting is opt-in, is not installed or enabled by default, and reports package names, versions, and host CPU architecture. |
| Support | Support is community-powered, with discussion links by app and component plus installation and getting-started guides. | The project directs users to its #voidlinux IRC channel on Libera.Chat and the Void Linux subreddit for questions. |
