Every time I need to install a distro on a new computer I go through the same process: I spend a day looking at different distros and how they've changed, what's new, etc. and then end up installing Void.
>>108538674whose computer did you destroy today loonixer?
same, but I just download ubuntu and don't waste my time
What a gay name for a distro, no thanks
>>108538831It comes from the C programming langauge. Essentially it means "no arguments".
>>108538674There’s a new distro you should check out called Windows. Try it out, unless you’re afraid of learning something new.
>>108539184I used to use Windows. Last Windows I used was Windows XP. I made the switch to Linux in 2005 and never looked back.
>>108539184I'm not into CBT
Void? No thanks, that's racist software.
>>108538674How's Void as a daily driver, OP? I'm looking into it myself.
>>108539184>proprietary closed source operating systemanon. . .
>>108541013as a hobby its pretty alright. a daily drive you pushing it.
>>108541138>a daily drive you pushing it.nigga im using gentoo as my daily driveri want something light for my laptop, ubuntu+gnome is too sluggish for my taste
>>108541013I've been daily driving it for like 8 years, on laptops and desktops. I've never had problems. It just works. Like I've had issues, but those had to do with software, not with Void or xbps itself. xbps is just awesome.
>>108543292Thanks, anon. How's the initial setup? I'm currently on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, which pretty much just werks out of the box, so I'm wondering if Void is doable for a retarded person.
>>108543309There's a xfce live image which you can then install. But it's easy to set it up however you want with whatever WM or DE by following the handbook. They did a good job with it.

>>108543460abandoned actually, use https://github.com/Encoded14/void-extra
>>108543364fuck you im installing redhat
>>108543279>he fell for the meme
>>108543341>>108543292If you have experience, hows Void KDE implementation?
>>108544183That's my daily driver. Just like everything else, it just works. It doesn't come with all the apps and utilities by default, but you can install them if you want.
>>108544220Awesome, thank you, anon.
>>108538674Void keeps getting into petty spats with other projects, to the point where they refuse to even enable other programs' flags that involve said projects, breaking universal functionality for everyone else https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/57815I find its lightweight and DIY nature to be very interesting but I refuse to use a distro that so heavily dictates what I can or cannot conveniently use on my computer for such infantile shit.
>>108544878I'm glad you mentioned that. I've been considering switching to Void after this guy on YouTube (YouTux) made a good argument in favor of it. But lately he published another vid dripping with insecurity over Void being low in the rankings on distrowatch.com. So now I'm a little apprehensive.
>>108544878Wow.https://github.com/ItsLemmy/void-packages/tree/master/srcpkgs/quickshellFixed.>>108545854The thing about Void is that nobody is forcing you to do anything. It is trivial to build your own package and install it. In this case, you don't need to, because someone has already done it. You just add their repo to repo.d/ and install normally.
>>108539946Gross. Imagine installing this trash.
>>108545854If distrowatch rankings meant anything we would all have been using MX Linux for the last 5 years only switching to CachyOS or Mint recently.
>>108545926Of course I agree but this guy YouTux doesn't think so. He's constantly championing Void as the distribution normal people should use by default. So it burns him up that it's not taking over distrowatch. Linux people in general are very grumpy about what others use. There's dumb infighting over petty choices people are free to make.
>>108545854You know how the rankings are calculated, right? It just counts how many times people have searched for that distro on distrowatch.com. It is not a measure of popularity or how good a distro is. I'm pretty sure MX Linux has been gaming it with bots/scripts to stay on top all this time.
>>108545904>literally who>last commit 5 months ago>any even moderately recent config will just break with its outdated versionWow.
>>108545958if it makes anyone feel better, Artix's live ISOs install a browser that opens their distrowatch on first boot to game the system and they're barely past 40th place kek, Void is doing well all things considered
>>108545854Maybe i should make a video about it so you can such my dick as well.
>>108546017I don't catch your meaning.
>>108545968Then update it, useless faggot.
>>108545968Virgin subby to others>>108546190Chad do it yourself
Void needs a tan.
>>108538674chromium os #1 distro in the world bigger then RHEL
>>108539946Installing right now.
