#voidlinux

6 posts5 participants0 posts today

It took a few attempts, but I now have the discord flatpak running smoothly with working audio/video on Sway in #voidlinux. No x11 and no systemd :) - and I learned quite a bit about linux desktop environments that KDE Plasma thankfully hid from me before 😅

Continued thread

Meanwhile, for my primary #Linux setup, I describe #VoidLinux as an obscure distribution for enthusiasts, every time a friend asks what "Void" is. Having said that, with the last couple of years' worth of investment, nothing has ever been easier to use for me.

Over the past month, I've finally ditched windows, installed #Bazzite, then #Fedora 41, then #Debian testing, then Fedora 42. For all but Debian I set up my machine completely.

For someone who likes to tinker with my system in learning the hard way that these OOTB systems aren't really designed to be tinkered with, at least not under the hood.

I still maintain a #VoidLinux machine and it's been the most stable of all my systems. But Fedora is growing on me slowly. Flatpaks and all.

Buenas noches,

Tengo problemas para instalar cualquier distribución de #Linux que lleve #systemd en un ordenador HP X360 convertible que ya tiene unos años.

La única distribución que funciona es #AntixLinux y #voidLinux y no están exentas de problemas, porque si reviso el htop un procesador siempre está casi al 100% de uso, y se recalienta mucho.

¿Alguna idea?

#Voidlinux introduces itself as 'based on the Linux Monolithic Kernel', as if people know what kernels are, and understand monolithic vs micro, but just needed an introduction to Linux in particular.

Ich kann mich (noch) nicht entscheiden, womit ich ein Notebook für mich neu aufsetzen möchte.

Auf der Shortlist stehen
- GhostBSD
- Linux Mint
- Void Linux
- Windows 11

Ich hätte am liebsten ein System ohne systemd, mit aktuellen Paketen, einigermassen schnell und einfach aufgesetzt, mit Festplattenverschlüsselung und mit einem stabilen Update Prozess.

Was würdest Du nehmen?
