The Void (Linux) distribution

Void is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic Linux kernel. Its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection.

This community is a mirror/alternative to !voidlinux@lemmy.ml — created for wider accessibility due to federation issues.

Share updates, configs, questions, and anything Void-related here.

figured i'd spin up a Void Linux community here since the one on lemmy.ml is kinda hard to reach for folks on other instances.

this space is for anyone using (or curious about) Void. ask questions, share tips, show off your setups, or just vibe.

not too many rules, just:

keep it Void-related
don’t be a jerk
no dumb distro fights

that’s it.

drop a post, say hey, share your rice, whatever.

My experience with Void (infosec.pub)

Tried the Xfce version on a PC that I needed for some browser work only (Discord server moderation). The installation was a bit scary but not too bad.

Then I was greeted by an HDD boot speed comparable to my gaming PC with an NVMe. I still miss that now when the PC is running Arch (btw).

When it comes to issues, I only remember a missing screenshot utility (fixed with 1 command) and fonts (can't remember if I ended up fixing it).

I tried installing a bare system and then installing the best DE (which is GNOME.) but I had to configure Xorg and Wayland myself and uhh I failed miserably. Still wanna do it though.
