What extra steps? Arch is missing debug packages, a package manager that can detect bad partial updates, different architectures etc.

void pkg manager is also way way faster than pacman, lack of systemd is nice a feature too (personally)

Why use Arch and not Void? I am aware of several points of superiority - a better package manager, larger repos, wider architecture support and multiple libcs - and no points of inferiority. Well okay, one - Void's commitment to supporting musl occasionally leads to feature lags, since they won't push updates that break musl. The general feel of the system is more stable than Arch.
