Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Despite its popularity, I've never had much luck with Void. However, I could try it again. 17th time's the charm!

    what did you have trouble with?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Just the little things, really. App compatibility, xbps not having too many packages, issues with Musl, GRUB not loading on the LiveUSB, desktop/WM selection, and also I don't like the way Runit works. I could make it work if I needed to, but overall it just seems like too much effort.

    Void user here. If you're having trouble with musl then just use the glibc base image. As they offer both C implementations.

    The Musl issues were a while ago. The other issues were experienced on the glibc version.

    Void is a distribution I keep trying, but I believe I'll be either sticking with the Arch family or switching to Gentoo, openSUSE, or NixOS.
