I’ve been using Linux for 14 years and void Linux for 2 years now. It stopped my distro hopping. It is hands down the best, fastest, easiest to configure distro out there. It installs so lightweight and I can make it what I want without much work. I am currently writing a script to turn void into a pentesting distro.
Please share the GitHub for the script to turn void into pentesting distro I use Kali as USB distro for only that purpose but Kali is also heavy and bloated
@@gto4467 Went on the guy's RUclips account. Videos of kids. So he probably has less than 0 time to do anything regarding the script unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong though, cause I wanna see the script too. :D
Great video as always, clear and simple. I have been using Void for 3 months and I can say that it is very simple, fast and solid, I have not had any problem with XFCE4. Before using it I was using Arch Linux which is my other favorite. Thanks for bringing this good distro to the channel.
Best of the bests, after everything, I’m satisfied with Void, if Void could add up more Desktop Environments, that would be awesome. Typing this on Void Mate
Finally! This distro is my go to if someone want to try freeBSD but their machine lack of supported hardware module. In my case, it is wireless ath10k. This distro is the close you can get to freeBSD as linux!
Great distro. FIY you can replace xpbs with vpm and then type on terminal vpm to see what it does. For example: sudo xbps-install equals with sudo vpm i. Also void linux comes with or without musl libc. There are official and unofficial isos and of course three ways to install Void. Void installer, voidvault and through project trident installer.
Incredibly clear and complete, as always. Thanks a lot. I am an inexperienced user (although always fascinated by the world) of Linux, but with the lightness and speed of Void I was immediately at ease. I look forward to your next impressions, after a more profound use of the distro. It would be great if, instead of i3, you could build a complete Void system with HerbstluftWM. In any case, thank you very much.
I tried Void XFCE some months ago, and could not get it to keep me german keymap persistent between sessions. This bugged me out so much I came back to my trusted Manjaro. But watching this, I think I want to spin up Void with DWM, DMenu and ST :D
could be my daily driver for programming.. super clean.. and it also comes w/ musl instead of glibc and it is like half way rolling release that makes it pretty interesting since there is not really something comparable out there
As far as I kinow, MacOS runs Launchd for initialization and service management. Runit my be able to run under MacOS, but I did not think Apple uses it by default. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launchd
You're right eznix, macOS uses launched. It was using runit at some point, but it changed later. I updated the video description and thanks for pointing this out!
Does the sound works out of the box after installing pulseaudio? Also, to install packages like discord we have to use xbps-src and build it and that takes a lot of time which force people to use snapd and flatpak and I don't even know if snapd works on runit or not.
Hi Ermanno, please increase the font size while installing.🙏. Thanks for the video 🎉 BTW, please try to make video on Gentoo distribution when you have time. 🎉🙏
@@eflinux there's a rumour that Ermano's gentoo video isn't released because he started gentoo installation 2 weeks ago and it's still compiling. Is it true?
Maybe I'm going back to a binary distro, not debian (bored of using), no arch (too many updates), no gentoo (rust is still compiling 6hrs+). I'll try void definitely.
Excellent video!!! I have never used void Linux. I will give it a try with i3. I haven't used i3 in a while. I like it a lot. My go-to distro for me has always been puppy Linux, currently fossapup! Love it!!!😀
Has anyone gotten qtile to work on void as the only window manager/desktop environment on the system? It’s not in their repos and when I build it from source or install it through pip it doesn’t show up with other window managers on the greeter page.
after installing void do xbps-install -Syu and then add some packages if you are going to be using suckless programs by building them from source do xbps-install -S gcc make libXinerama-devel libXft-devel libX11-devel freetype-devel to get the tools neccesary to build this software
Hi Ermanno, I was bored with work today so I have given Void a punt. It is quiet a nice system just cannot get the keyboard map to the correct one for my UK layout I am still trying. :)
void is fine for me, tho I would recomend to stick to libc instead of musl for first timers, or else you gonna be like me trying to install packages just to find out there is no musl equivalent and that sucks
apple and freebsd use same init boot process...its the best than anyone and winner in all boot process of all unix and unix-like oses....while all distros from linux have no clue who they want to be ...but i know for sure...they all want to be like microsoft windows 11 look and run its dx12 games ...that for sure ...so they have to sleep with microsoft devs while realizing its huge mistake to run dx12 games that defeat the purpose of native support on linux from 20% to 0.5% ...thats what microsoft want ...feed the opensource community and do what they did with netscape that they want to be like IE in browsing with its plugins to run windows media format over netscape
@@rahilarious Gentoo is not bad. It just takes too long to install. I have tried and spent a day on it. Everything was compiled successfully. There was still tons of config to be done. So I quitted. I installed Manjaro and it took less than half hour.
Maybe one should see that the big Linux distros followed Arch for a reason systemd is ran in the biggest servers, and python is how hackers exploit systems systemd elimnates that need to do scheduals ect ect. And i hear so often about background services if you dont like a service running turn it off it is that simple systemctl is very simple to learn how to use, and if people take as much time to learning as they do complaining they would be way ahead and respect others that try new ways just because and not bad mouth others. Often the brother ermmono avoids questions backbiting others because it is bad charictor and unbecoming of grown men!

Hi, thanks for sharing this. I just believe we can have conversations as adults and there is no need to trash someone or something. We all have a choice to do and use what we like. If one doesn't like something, just don't use it, but there is no need to patronize others. I can share my opinion about something, but it remains mine and I believe healthy discussions are what we need in order to learn from each others.
So very assume i learned that arch has included Indonesian to its wiki page i have many family via my wife there and so many have learned linux but it was a hurdle because of the language. Im pushing for the wiki to clearly state a chart for local-gen in a chart on the wiki as im German/bagsamoro and so many of my fathers people speak over 200 language and it becomes frustrating because they don't know Tagalog no more than forgners hahaha
Frankly im tired of 99 % of cry babies against systemd most of the people crying about it don't have a clue to being an admin and second arch was never design to be a server ! Move on leave Arch alone and people that develope for it. Arch makes it so the very poor or very rich have a computer that they have control of and no other distro had the aur!

Oh no, he's gone into the void! 😉

You're so gifted in creating simple to follow and simple to understand tutorials! It's so sad that this channel is no longer active :(

just installed void on my old Latitude D630 after a week of testing. great lightweight distro for this old laptop, runs smooth as butter now :)
What are your specs? I have a Dell 630m I might try this on.
Nice! Then it will run on my Dell E6400 2.5 and 4 gigs laptop... :-)
LLAP
During the install you can type the first letter of the list.. So say it's English if you just type E then it will take you to E and so forth :-)

I didn't know mac os ran runit. I remember your artix runit install. Very good video.
As far as I kinow, MacOS runs Launchd for initialization and service management. Runit my be able to run under MacOS, but I did not think Apple uses it by default.

@@eflinux or a custom version
@@eznix sum variation of runit in house maybe
I think runit was running on older versions of macOS. According to Wikipedia launchd was entirely developed by Apple.
Does the sound works out of the box after installing pulseaudio?
Also, to install packages like discord we have to use xbps-src and build it and that takes a lot of time which force people to use snapd and flatpak and I don't even know if snapd works on runit or not.
Sound works. As for the rest I haven't tried it yet.
True that.
I tried runit on debian unstable , but service management needs alot of improvement .

Actually it started in March and is still compiling :) Gentoo video was recorded 2 weeks ago, but it's scheduled to be released next Wednesday.
Maybe I'm going back to a binary distro, not debian (bored of using), no arch (too many updates), no gentoo (rust is still compiling 6hrs+). I'll try void definitely.
Void linux is a rolling release, since that term does not apply to how bleeding a package is, but more the release model of the OS itself.

I can't seem to install void without major issues. It breaks at the first attempt to update :/
thats why i never update
Any change to make guide to install Qtile on Void Linux? i try multiple times, and i cant .
after installing void do xbps-install -Syu and then add some packages if you are going to be using suckless programs by building them from source do xbps-install -S gcc make libXinerama-devel libXft-devel libX11-devel freetype-devel to get the tools neccesary to build this software

:)
Init is also android or at least all versions I've played with used init
Where can find comprehensive handbook/documents of Void, like in Arch Linux?
On the Void website there is a well written handbook.
I only hop between these two, void and arch (currently using).
Try gentoo, you'll never hop again
you forgot the btw... so i don't really think you ever actually used real arch
Okay.
who is vanilla arch for vs who is void for?
It comes down to the init system and repos. Arch has probably more packages available and uses systemd. The best way to find out is always to try out.
Void seems great and runit even more , but sometimes apps need systemd :(
Haven't seen any software requiring systemd to work.
Some examples?
I hate gnome and snap so I don't care but you might have problems with pulseaudio since it was meant to be used with systemd(made by the same guy).
@@lutfucangurler900 pulseaudio running well on my machine but its sometime change my output to hdmi
Did I miss the party where he says what this distribution is based upon?
Hi Andrew, Void is an independent distribution.
@@eflinux Thanks for the response
Thank you for pointing this out.
void is fine for me, tho I would recomend to stick to libc instead of musl for first timers, or else you gonna be like me trying to install packages just to find out there is no musl equivalent and that sucks
btw do not try installing it without ethernet it is a pain in the ass to cofigure atleast for me
Great distribution! Period.
thx.. uncle :)
nice old distro... an old friend that gave me lots of headache and pleasure
the 2 dislikes are from the arch users
Remember, there's no good reason to use Void, except if you want to help develop it.

GNU/Linux is best. All distros are good and same in one way (except gentoo ofc). In the end it comes down to priorities and preference.
