(lemmy.world)
Void Linux is an independent distribution, developed entirely by volunteers.Install once, update daily. Your system will always be up-to-date.Void use runit as the init system and service supervisor. xbps is the native system package manager. https://voidlinux.org/
• ISO's for many systems (x86_64, i686, arm) • Base images for highly customizable experience •Good for old or "weak" machines, due to its capability to be a light OS •5 minute friendly installer for a non GUI one •Good documentation with a handbook •Engaged comunnity in different plataforms(like Reddit, lemmy, IRC) •Rolling release but not bleeding edge, packages and updates verified before releasing. Void focus in stability. •xbps (x binary packages systems) for managing packages, which is quite easy to use •runit (or systemd free) •easy services management •really fast booting •Original not based or dependand
That's what got me into Void. I have It in 64bit and 32bit old laptops. The 32bit it's a daily driver for college which i enjoy very much due to it being small, inexpensive and "agile" in its own way.
There's a lot of features that i didn't explored yet for lack of knowledge or need like disk encryption, ZFS via chroot, musl, arm installs or server usage. Void is great, i'm really thanked for everyone who works in it.
The guy just listen it idk what to add more
