my going away message will be this

keep the strong and the open source going

don''t forget to laugh at win10 users who hate the experience but refuse to do anything about it

they bring it on themselves

see you all in four to six months

i kind of have a love hate opinion on void linux

i do enjoy it and runit is impressive at what it does

buuut

the xbps format can be limiting at times in terms of software availability much like solus eopkg format

so while i do enjoy running void linux i will probably distro hop back to manjaro lxqt for the time being

primarily due to void being fun to tinker with but not good as a main distro for me

i am getting an sd card to try the rpi 3 version soon though

the answer is void linux with kde plasma installed which started with lxqt

can be overwhelming at times example the installer is terminal based and looks like old school windows installers but way more loaded

setting up the mirrors can be weird for first time users since it's not gui based like they are used to by now

like solus you will run into that one program that has no custom package or flatpak available for the distro

the wiki sometimes can confuse people some areas of it can be seen as vague if you have no idea what it's trying to explain

Truly community driven right down to the package format

once you understand how easy mirrors and stuff are it becomes fun

surprisingly huge availability of xbps package i was shocked to see certain programs available in xbps

no systemd (for all you anti systemd madmen)

not owned by a company so no shareholders to please or any of that agenda nonsense

so far no one has guess that distro correctly

guess that distro

how do i change the default icons in void linux?

i have some icons displaying as the theme i want but then others display as default icons

if void linux has taught me anything it's that i need a syncthing setup badly

megaNZ is decent but when it does not have a package for a specific distro it sucks

i really hate having to worry about this

nope not correcting it

i think the only real issue void linux will have is the same issue solus has

a custom package format that people won't support because supporting a ton of package formats is hard to do

that being said they have quite a bit of xbps software i surprised to see even obs-studio in that list

this will sound a bit entitled and bold but void linux deserves some support man

they really have something cool going on here

now if only i could find a donation link on there website and toss them a cup of coffee

yes the icons are stock i have not changed them to numix square yet

the one thing i really love about void linux is it comes stock with these

so i can add
Option "TearFree" "true"
and
not need a compositor

so consider me in the void for now
i'm going to give this distro a go

so i figured out my void linux issue
it was my fault

i setup the mirrors the wrong way basically made it harder than it actually is

i really want to give void linux a second chance i did enjoy what it offered
i was only having mirror issues
