I am also a Void user, but will agree that the installation process can be very difficult, especially if you want to set up encryption in ways the standard installer does not support. You have to install it into a chroot (which I believe is how Debian was installed 20+ years ago).
That said, it is a great learning process and really helps you appreciate how awesome xbps is as a package manager!
