all the packages i want.
no systemd.
i like how simple it is to use.

getting nervous about how much attention its getting + how overworked the maintainers are
could easily have its shit fucked at any point

Could be thinking of another distro, If I remember correctly the devs were asking not for donations but more maintainers, more attention > more maintainers > less fucking.

MX Linux. End of story

tried quite a few years ago, but development stopped/solo developer dissapeared, so I went back to arch/debian
now with systemd bullshit switched back to void - seems it's no longer under single dev with all the keys, and distro itself is fine

>>108489829
Best non-corporate distro

>>108490541
qrd?

>>108490813
Recent source other than some old tweet?

I love alternative things to systemd, but when trying it out I missed the AUR ngl. It's still great, tho.

XBPS makes it easy to install from custom repositories, remote and local, by adding a --repository= command line argument to xbps-install. I'm surprised there haven't been any Void derivatives, XBPS makes that trivial to do.

>>108491626
doesn't make it less of a troon distro

Everything is a troon distro.

>>108491842
forks are for troons, I made my own distro

XBPS >>>>>> pacman
I mean, it's not even close. pacman is a collection of bash scripts, XBPS is a feature-full package manager written in C.

>>108492265
My cock is my package manager and it's fully enlarged and written in PAWGS and Latinas

>>108492265
Pacman is written in C, although its planned to be rewritten in Rus. PKGBUILDs are bash scripts. But then so are Gentoo ebuilds.

>>108491307
If you were already on arch/debian, why not artix/devuan?

>>108492265
based retard, like >>108492291 said pacman is written in C, and xbps-src looks like another overengineered complex mess, I'll take simple PKGBUILDS over this crap.

>>108492265
oh and xbps-src is literally a bash script that calls other xbps binaries lmao:

I've been using it since 2023 and it's been great, but now I need cuda support and I haven't figured out how to get it on there. Any ideas?

>>108492580
and by cuda I mean cuda toolkit

>>108492576
Works on my machine.

>>108490019
it works just like any other distro, what are you on about

>>108492580
What exactly is stopping you from using CUDA?

>>108492833
Yeah, I misspoke. I meant cuda toolkit. I need it to install llama-cpp-python with cuda support, since it gets built from source and you need the cuda sdk for it to properly build

I remember trying void in 2021ish and there was some issue that made me hop until I landed on gentoo where I've been ever since. But I can't remember what it was, maybe just not enough packages back then?

>>108489829
I remember using void like 10 years ago, honestly it was pretty great, the original author used to have some retarded meltdowns every other day and I moved away from it for that reason, but I had no issue with it, I may try it again some time.

>>108490349
donations let you hire good maintainers
>more attention > more maintainers > less fucking
not in a linear way, and it also of course increases the pool of bad actors trying to worm their way into a maintainer position
the problem is that no matter how many maintainers you have, you're always vulnerable to shit like supply chain attacks on the packages you provide (see: the systemd ssh xz utils fiasco, which thankfully did not affect void)
as attention increases, more valuable targets start using a thing, increasing the likelihood that someone will give enough of a shit to target the distro directly

I switched a few weeks back from linux mint because of the systemd bullshit. Was something of a small learning curve as it does things a little differently and im relatively new to linux in general but its responsive, dual boot works on it for those that need it.
My only problem is i cant seem to get appimages working on it.
As a result ive learned much about alternative methods like flatpaks and tar files.
Its a great system OP i dont think youll be dissapointed.
It is now my daily driver system for general use

Let adults and enthusiasts do the things they need to do.

The xBinary repository exists but ita nowhere near the size of arch repo.

>>108491666
Jesus christ make your own then.
All the distros are maintained by fucking troons now. Especially the ones worth using.
If theres one thing ill respect troo s for its their commitment to a quality kernel.
So thanks void maintainers.

and given how "custom" their bodies are this may lead to unwanted suicides

except xbps cannot force install packages without looking at dependencies errors
it has retarded logic when it comes to reporting which packages cause the update transaction to fail and you have to dig through debugging output

>except xbps cannot force install packages without looking at dependencies errors
What you want is a custom package. You remove the missing/clashing dependency from the template file, build it with xbps-src and once you have the package you can install it with

xbps-install --repository=/path/to/custom/pkg/

If you're gonna make many custom packages, you can put them all in one dir and then make a file in /etc/xbps.d/ with

repository=/path/to/local/repo/

and Bob's your uncle.

>>108494229
that sounds like a ton of tedious work

>>108489829

People think it's heckin' based because it's non-SystemD but it's aligned with the same corporate plants that are ruining mainstream Linux distros.
