Chimera Linux is developing something called Turnstile. It will provide the necessary service management stuff on Chimera Linux, which does not use systemd. GNOME is the “default” desktop on Chimera.

My understanding is that Chimera wants to do this on a way that will work with other non-systemd systems as well. So this may be your solution to running GNOME on Void.

Still sad about this, I hope distros without sysd find a good way to make things work still :/ my ideal setup would be like void with GNOME, in just not really capable of a minimal distro at this point
