Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

clang-15.0.7 seems to break binaries when used with -O2 flag
In general, Void assumes familiarity with the principles of Linux and UNIX system. Basic questions about configuring or running a Linux system can frequently be answered with a Google search. The Internet grew up with UNIX, and Linux grew up on the Internet; you are encouraged to avail yourself of the extensive body of knowledge already out there. Some particulars of Void administration are described in the handbook; consult this document before asking common questions about configuring Void systems.

installing void for a11y
I know for sure that these images work with espeakup, and espeakup can be enabled at boot by adding live.screenreader to the command line as described here
-
What's the difference between the BASE and XFCE version ?
You might look at https://docs.voidlinux.org/, which provides a good overview of Void. The package manager, xbps is [my opinion] better that apt [I have to use the latter in AntiX Linux].
-
Arch, void or something else entirely?
the final criticism i have for void is the way they have decided to host their docs; as this void-docs. This bottlenecks the possible amount of expertise you'd receive from your doc writers by ensuring that only those who want to learn git are able to contribute to your docs. this, to me, is very inadequate if your intent is to have documentation written by those who are very good at docwriting but not necessarily maneuvering in version control systems like git. i'm not sure what the impetus was to move away from the traditional wiki model, but this from my perspective is a failure.

I am switching to void. would like to ask a few questions (i am new to linux)
Follow the guide on the void website and you will be fine. Come here for support, we love helping others out and it's a great community, on par with the OpenBSD community as far as being helpful and encouraging you to learn the OS. If you find there's a package you need that hasn't been added to xbps yet, you can use a Flatpak or AppImage (easy way) or build the package yourself using xbps-src (advanced way, worth learning down the line).

How do I reinstall the xbps package?
I just made a PR on their github to add this.

Is there anyway to extract the first page of an epub as image so I can use it in lf previewer
Perl has traditionally been my language of choice for this sort of stuff (e.g. this script for converting mdBook to LaTeX), but more recently i've been focusing on POSIX shell scripts as a personal challenge and learning exercise.

First time on Void, any tips I should know about?
Understanding how runit manages services is critical. Also, there are certain "restricted" packages that xbps can manage but not download. The handbook does a good job covering both topics.

I Didn’t Learn Unix By Reading All The Manpages
i agree with this piece, as someone who likes man pages to the extent of having ported significant amounts of the s6-ecosystem docs to mdoc(7), and as someone who has also written a number of guides.
-
Compiled kernel vs pre compiled kernel?
And the -bin kernel can be used to easily get many of the settings you'll need when you build your own kernel.
-
Is there anyway to extract the first page of an epub as image so I can use it in lf previewer
Gah, didn't even consider that the OP might have meant the cover image! Probably at least partly because i know that EPUBs don't necessarily need a cover image - i learnt this as a result of learning how to create a minimal EPUB. (And i actually have many EPUBs without a cover image.)
-
I really want to use Gentoo but I'm tired of the compiling
The point is to be able to customise where you want/need to, and to not have to when you don't. The -bin packages for FireFox, LibreOffice and Zig meet my needs, so i use them. i used the -bin package for the kernel to help me create a minimal kernel for my hardware, because messing around with kernel configuration is not my idea of a good time. But more generally, compiling allows me to specify things like: "i want packages compiled with USB and PCRE support where available, but i don't want them compiled with GNOME support."
-
Is it all about tuning?
Even though D-Bus is probably most often encountered by people in the context of GUI sessions, it's not specific to that; it can be (and is) used outside of such contexts. The widespread misunderstandings i've encountered about D-Bus over the years led me to write a short guide, "D-Bus: the essentials".
-
Freedesktop Notification Error!
(Some related background you might find helpful: a guide i wrote about D-Bus and X sessions).
-
Trouble creating OpenRC kernel from gentoo-sources
But more generally, you might find it helpful to refer to this guide i wrote on creating a minimal Gentoo-patched kernel via gentoo-kernel-bin (which can then be regularly updated just like any other Gentoo package).
-
Gonna switch to Gentoo
Take advantage of savedconfig where appropriate, e.g. for kernel builds. In particular, this can be used to easily create a minimal kernel for your hardware.
-
How to I get sound on Gentoo. I thought I installed the right sound card in my Kernel, but its not working
(Further to this, you might be interested in my guide to creating a minimal kernel for your hardware.)
-
The square root symbol looks incomplete, with the extension hanging outside
[a] i've actually written a quickstart guide to writing man pages with mdoc(7), to try to encourage others to use the semantics-oriented mdoc(7) macros for man pages, rather than the presentation-oriented man(7) macros.
What are some alternatives?
xdeb - XDEB - Convert deb (Debian) packages to xbps (Void Linux)
modprobed-db - Keeps track of EVERY kernel module that has ever been probed. Useful for those of us who make localmodconfig :)
void-packages - The Void source packages collection
execline-man-pages - mdoc versions of the documentation for the execline suite
zfsbootmenu - ZFS Bootloader for root-on-ZFS systems with support for snapshots and native full disk encryption
gentoo-install - A gentoo installer with a TUI interface that supports systemd and OpenRC, EFI and BIOS, as well as variable disk layouts using ext4, zfs, btrfs, luks and mdraid.
bismuth - KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm.
Gentoo-Stuff - Gentoo kernels, Portage configs & Linux things.
topgrade - Upgrade everything
