The complete transition has been announced, with the main reasons being limited hardware support and poor availability of software packages in FreeBSD.
They promise better support for GPUs, sound cards, streaming, and wireless networks, as well as Bluetooth support, always fresh updates, fast loading, and support for Hybrid EFI/Legacy.
The reasons for transitioning specifically to Void highlight runit (impressed by the speed and simplicity of the initialization system), LibreSSL by default, support for musl and libc, and a fast package manager xbps.
The Lumina graphical environment will be frozen during the transition to Void.
Trident-stable, based on FreeBSD 12, will continue to receive updates until January 2020, with its repositories being removed in April 2020. For Trident-release based on FreeBSD 13, updates have already ceased, and the repositories will be removed in January 2020.
The first version of Trident based on Void Linux will be released in January 2020, with 1-2 preliminary alpha versions scheduled for release.
The project is working on porting its utilities to Void Linux, including addressing the lack of ZFS-on-root support. A different GUI package manager will be written instead of AppCafe.
