os VS void-packages

Cool. My goal in asking is to find out if there's anything I should know before trying to update the build script myself.. This is my first time trying to build an OS, so if I'm getting in way over my head, I'd definitely like to know that in advance.

From what I understand, OSTree-based images[0] are in progress and will remediate this.

elementaryOS is licensed under GPLv3. You may absolutely sell hardware that comes with it pre-installed, so long as any modifications you have made to the software are also released under GPLv3. There are non-commercial licenses, but they are not free and open source.

Problem still occurs, here’s a bug report: https://github.com/elementary/os/issues/634

Go to https://github.com/elementary/os

Sounds like it's probably a bug that you'll wanna report to the eOS developers. They prefer getting those on their GitHub Issues page if you have a GitHub account

I really hope it does. I have a discussion open here: https://github.com/elementary/os/discussions/552

with elementary OS working on an OSTREE image what is the possibility of linux mint also joining in and also working on an OSTREE image for their distro?

I’m not sure tbh. I generally stay away from Nvidia because of issues like this. It’s probably worth opening a new issue report and maybe someone else has access to this hardware https://github.com/elementary/os

Surprising enough (expectations set by decades of Debian/Ubuntu) that I had to look it up, but it's true https://github.com/elementary/os/wiki/Release-Upgrades#perfo...

I was looking for a lightweight OS to run on old Asus Eee PC 1005 HA, which uses a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 processor. I installed Void Linux (https://voidlinux.org/).

I may give DSL 2024 a try and see how it compares.

Linux Void

My computer is running Void Linux and it has only a wired network connection. I can hook up my phone for USB tethering if I need to connect to the WiFi of the ESP32. How do I update the software without downloading some shady programs from filesharing site links on my system? I have the Arduino IDE and the esptool.py script installed.

Classic "everyone is using the software wrong, but it's the fault of everyone, and not the software".

Some distros like Void seem to patch this out.[1]

From mandoc/mdocml's mandoc_char(7) [2]

In roff(7) documents, the minus sign is normally written as ‘\-’. In manual pages, some style guides recommend to also use ‘\-’ if an ASCII 0x2d “hyphen-minus” output glyph that can be copied and pasted is desired in output modes supporting it, for example in -T utf8 and -T html. But currently, no practically relevant manual page formatter requires that subtlety, so in manual pages, it is sufficient to write plain ‘-’ to represent hyphen, minus, and hyphen-minus.

Which is the common-sense thing to do.

Meanwhile, GNU projects become increasingly less relevant due to obnoxiousness like this.

In general the amount of wankery of "the correct hyphen" is staggering.

So I was about to configure a new Archlinux build on my PC and came across Void Linux. I had already read about it a year ago but never researched it in depth. I know that is a Linux distribution made from scratch, with a different package manager and so on. Void Linux users or people who have tried it, what are your thoughts on it? Do you think the PM is easy to use? what about updates and bugs? what desktop or Tilling Window Manager do you use? could you tell me about it?
