spotify-player VS void-packages

The Spotify on the Discover Store doesn't allow you to run in the terminal and using the terminal will give it a nice performance boost without the GUI overhead, which is what is being achieved using spotify-payer. From checking the project, it looks pretty good for something minimal: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player

btw, check out the epic CLI spotify_player of aome510 its on github, its really ram efficient ~45mb of ram ( orig. spotify uses sometimes up to 400-800mb...) craaaazy

The one I use, spotify-player, https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player

I'll look into it. But, I don't want to control spotify-player, itself can be used as one, https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player

That's probably a good suggestion. I've done this a few years ago but not with X11, just minor applications to test the concept. I'll look into this, Netflix is the only thing remaining. For Spotify, I've just built spotify-player (https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player) with the alsabackend and it's working fine.

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?
