geckolinux-project VS void-packages

According to a reply on the 3rd post of this forum page, what do I need to do to apply GeckoLinux font rendering config files on my endeavouros system. I am using KDE Plasma btw. I have tried moving the specified config files to the /etc/geckolinux folder which I created and linking them with the same numbered name with ln -s. Is this what I need to do according to this post to get GeckoLinux's font rendering config applied to my system?

If you want a very simple approach to openSUSE, you can consider geckolinux, an openSUSE derivative that smooths some in the rough edges of openSUSE by setting on your behalf some sensible defaults.

I updated , well I tried to, when everything was jacked up last night. I'll have to see if it hosed my install when I get home from neck surgery tomorrow. Has anyone played with gecko Linux? It's a spin on tumbleweed

SpiralLinux was created by the same guy who made Gecko Linux.

Finally, Geckolinux is a derivative that smooths the first impact with openSUSE.

I am currently aware of 2 distros based on openSUSE. 1. Gecko Linux 2. RegataOS

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?
