I must say I am enjoying Void Linux w/xfce so far. May just switch from MXLinux…

Anyone else playing/using Void…?

Yep, been using it as my daily driver for a few years now, aside from trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for a few months. I’ve settled on running it with sway as my wm for the time being. I’ve generally been pretty happy with it. I like the package manager and the relative simplicity of the system, which requires a bit more work to set up but seems easier to understand/fix when something goes wrong (usually user error in my experience, lol.) The developers also proved that they could learn from their mistakes with a minimum of drama after the whole kerfluffle with the original creator. Most packages that I need that aren’t in the repo can be had with flatpak. Overall, a relatively pleasant Linux distro experience.

Edit: Forgot to mention, in my experience an actually stable AND rolling release distribution!

Btw, here is a small void linux community for lemmy. It doesn’t appear to be very active, but hopefully that will change with time.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !voidlinux@lemmy.ml

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
