I must say I am enjoying Void Linux w/xfce so far. May just switch from MXLinux…
Anyone else playing/using Void…?
What about Void are you liking?
What’s it look like? And why do so many distros neglect to have a screenshot page?
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
It doesn’t matter what backend you use as long as it suits your needs. At this point nobody should use any frontend which uses xorg as its backend.
Edit. As user KSP_Atlas very fairly pointed my mistake about Nvidia, I stand as corrected.
been using it for almost a year now.
it’s been 18 years full time linux/bsd for me and it went knoppix -> ubuntu -> fedora -> arch linux -> gentoo -> freebsd -> void
arch linux in 2008 was really good, and lasted for a couple of years. gentoo was a chore, because it’s fully source based. freebsd is rock solid, amazing amazing system, i would be still using it if it weren’t for aec applications and games. still using it on my homeserver.
void is blazing fast, highly reliable rolling release package system, amazingly simple init system. i have a 3060ti and it’s working surprisingly good on wayland. it’s just hassle-free for me, i love it.
Did you used FreeBSD with wi-fi? Any issues with It? Any other consideration about It?
yeah, with wi-fi. i didn’t have any issues using wifi. like i said earlier, some applications don’t have freebsd versions and manually compiling and keeping them update is a lot of hassle. other than that highly reliable system.
