Linux

Yep, using it as a daily driver for a long long time. It's perfect for my needs and I just love the not-so-cutting edge approach, breaks a lot less than Arch does.

Yep, been using it as my daily driver for a few years now, aside from trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for a few months. I've settled on running it with sway as my wm for the time being. I've generally been pretty happy with it. I like the package manager and the relative simplicity of the system, which requires a bit more work to set up but seems easier to understand/fix when something goes wrong (usually user error in my experience, lol.) The developers also proved that they could learn from their mistakes with a minimum of drama after the whole kerfluffle with the original creator. Most packages that I need that aren't in the repo can be had with flatpak. Overall, a relatively pleasant Linux distro experience.

Edit: Forgot to mention, in my experience an actually stable AND rolling release distribution!

Btw, here is a small void linux community for lemmy. It doesn't appear to be very active, but hopefully that will change with time.

What about Void are you liking?

I used Void for a while and I loved it! I had to move off because I kept having to make packages for the esoteric programs I kept using (cc65, Zoom, etc.). but I loved every bit of it. Even making the packages was pleasant, and it's the first distro I ever contributed packages to.

Also, at the time I was using musl, and it was good, but not perfect. I'd recommend the glibc version for 0 headaches, but the musl version was very fun.

I used it for a year a year or so ago and changed for some reason. Recently did a fresh install and I am seriously unable to think why I left it.

It's insanely fast, performant, resource-friendly and much more community driven than other distros with the void-packages repository on GitHub. Oh, and it doesn't have systemd so my install boots in 3 seconds flat, compared to the 22 seconds for Fedora 38.

What's it look like? And why do so many distros neglect to have a screenshot page?

Yep! I used it as a daily driver for ~a year, switched off to try something new, and have recently switched back indefinitely.

Only distro I’ve ever switched back to after leaving, and that’s because it’s where I plan to stay. It really lives in such a sweet spot of up to date, stable, and simple/hackable.

With a nice handbook, friendly community, runit, xbps-src, and multi lib/arch support, Void is truly great.

Been using it a while and I genuinely cant find anything to complain about. xbps is the best pkg manager, runit is quick and gets out the way and all my architectures are supported

Works great on low resources.

Aside from Nvidia drivers, Void is home.

It doesn't matter what backend you use as long as it suits your needs. At this point nobody should use any frontend which uses xorg as its backend.

Edit. As user KSP_Atlas very fairly pointed my mistake about Nvidia, I stand as corrected.
