How has Void linux been treating you? Is it better than other distributions you have tried? I like the idea since it it closer to Unix than some other distributions, and you can do some DIY with it too (I believe there's a guide on compiling using USE flags here too) and the package manager is nice. What do you think?

I use it on 3 machines, all is good. I find myself too comfortable with it to warrant another distro.

[–] MigratingtoLemmy 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see. I was planning to use it for my desktop alongside a BSD server

I'm using Void in two laptops one x86_64 and other i686, both work very good, i'm in my way to put It on my maing machine too. Void + i3 very sane and produtive to me.

Btw I'm working to put up a server with OpenBSD in a BPI-M5.

Hi, which laptop do you use that is i686?

Also, what is a BPI-M5? And why OpenBSD over FreeBSD?

[–] black_dinamo 1 points 11 months ago

I use a Samsung N150P, bought it quite cheap, most of my use in it is for studying and college, hence it's a small and inexpensive machine.

BPI-M5 is a single board computer like Raspberry Pi, I've choosen OpenBSD due to its focus in security, documentation and also i want to try it in a desktop bare metal test machine(which is the one im currently using Void). I looked into FreeBSD too and it seems quite cool, ZFS, jails, good documentation and community too. Btw, I tried NomadBSD in a usb stick but it failed to build and kinda trashed the stick, I can't write over it now lol( still don't know if its repairable), will try with another stick soon.

Void's pretty nice, it has a fast package manager (XBPS) that's on par with pacman. Runnit is a fast init system that does its job, if you don't like systemd then this is good. In comparison to Arch, Void is much more stable; I haven't had to roll back any packages so far. I used void-musl for a while which is good for hard drive space but not for software compatibility (I had to switch to glibc to use signal-desktop). Void linux has a TUI installer that is much more refined than archinstall so it is easier to install than other "minimal" distros. You can also install with XFCE although I have not tried this. The only inconviniences that I have come across when using Void Linux are that packages aren't always named in the way you might expect them to be and that there aren't anywhere near as many packages available on void through the default repos and void source packages by default when compared to the AUR. Other than this Void Linux is a good distro. I haven't heard much about compiling using USE flags on Void so I will have to look into that.

Definitely like XBPS and no SystemD.

Great to know about the stability too; liked Debian but SystemD...

I plan to use IceWM with Void when I get to running it. I don't use many packages, just the essentials for the most part (ssh, tmux, vim, browsers, mpd etc).

Thanks!

Void and dwm. Almost the perfect combo.
