I was a serious Arch user for 10+ years when I finally decided to give Void a go on an old laptop. Needless to say Iloved it so much that it is now my daily driver. I even had a blip for a month where I thought I missed Arch but nope I just came running back home to Void. Give it a try you won't be disappointed also take a read of this blog Unmasking the hidden gems of Void Linux

ZFS Swap on Linux (lemmy.world)
submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

One for those running #ZFS on #Linux systems. I realise that you can't have hibernate aka suspend to disk on a swap in the encrypted zpool but if you don't use hibernation then is it OK to use swap using the likes of the command example below to set it up in the encrypted pool?

I should point out that I'm thinking of switching from my current Void Linux luks lvm setup to Void with fully encrypted zpool and zfsbootmenu on my ThinkPad P14s AMD Gen 1which has 16Gb ram that I may upgrade to 40Gb. It also has a 1Tb nvme.

zfs create -V "${v_swap_size}G" -b "$(getconf PAGESIZE)" -o compression=zle -o logbias=throughput -o sync=always -o primarycache=metadata -o secondarycache=none -o com.sun:auto-snapshot=false "$v_rpool_name/swap"

I have just tried to change my user avatar from my browser and no matter what image format I try to use be it png or jpg it quickly flashes up some json error. I cannot even change it from the Android app.

Or if you're running Qtile under Wayland then Qtile is the compositor too. My dotfiles and a screenshot are here to show what's possible.

You can find out how to install Qtile using pip on the README of my dotfiles link posted above.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Yes if you run Qtile with X but not yet under Wayland but that is under discussion by the devs as well as other features.

Void Linux user here with Qtile - Wayland as my WM.

I'm liking the diy PC case. What's inside if you don't mind me asking ?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you and tbh I haven't attempted to run hyprland on void as I used to run it on arch as my daily. Since switching to void I haven't really looked back and don't feel the need for all the bells and whistles.

You could use swayidle and add a line to use either light or brightnessctl to dim and restore the brightness. Or just as I do turn off display after a certain time. This link should give you an idea. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sway#Idle

You can either put the sha that you want in the download url:

https://github.com/{username}/{projectname}/archive/{sha}.zip

Or you do it via the github website and click on a commit at the right and then click the two <> which will load that specific commit and click on the download zip file button ( code button ).

Got bored and made a custom /etc/issue file for my Void Linux machines. It displays a colour Void Linux logo along with kernel version, tty number and date on login. The file is here just copy it to /etc/issue or you can preview it using agetty. Feel free to change it to suit.

Goodbye Reddit (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

That's me deleted my Reddit account along with all data as I do not agree with recent events that have been taking place. I'm going to concentrate on Mastodon , Lemmy and take a look at Kbin .

I was a longtime Arch user 10+ years up until recently when I decided to give Void Linux a shot. In hindsight I wish that I'd made the switch earlier as I love it !
