    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 ?
    1 project | /r/voidlinux | 8 Jun 2023
    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?
    4 projects | /r/linuxmasterrace | 11 May 2023
    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)
    1 project | /r/voidlinux | 1 May 2023
    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?
    1 project | /r/voidlinux | 30 Apr 2023
    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
    5 projects | /r/commandline | 27 Apr 2023
    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?
    1 project | /r/voidlinux | 4 Apr 2023
    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.

  • Bootloader installed to my usb stick for some reason
    1 project | /r/voidlinux | 10 May 2022
    If you want I made an installer script that do all things for you and it has a lot of features. Carefully that when you select the disk it will format it whit no message to you... 😅 I will fix it later https://gitlab.com/skikky94/gab-void-linux-installer
  • musl worth the struggle?
    1 project | /r/voidlinux | 9 May 2022
    I run musl, I have no truoble at all. I use bitwarden (there is also option for migrating password from many password manager) and Firefox. But I also play a lot of games. For doing this I set up ad lxd container with X forwarding, the only downside is that I have a working Wayland environment and I can't use it because of this... 😅 If you want to setup a lxd container see this script: https://gitlab.com/skikky94/gab-void-linux-installer/-/blob/lvm/others/post-noroot.sh Note: you have to install lxd first and add your user to lxd group Note2: comment the instruction to install flatpak apps
  • Is there a "stable" rolling release distro?
    4 projects | /r/linuxmasterrace | 14 Apr 2022
    None of these are considered stable and fedora is not rolling release. The only stable distribution with rolling release package management is void Linux, if you know how another one pls tell me. If you are adventures you can try my script for installation (it is in Alfa state) More complete installer is locate on the branch devel-choice2 https://gitlab.com/skikky94/gab-void-linux-installer/-/tree/devel-choice2 If it doesn't work try devel-choice
  • Any update on s6-rc ? there are one lint case left for successful building
    3 projects | /r/voidlinux | 3 Feb 2022
    Search for void-66 https://github.com/mobinmob/void-66-services https://github.com/mobinmob/void-66-services/blob/master/conf/void-66-conf.md Or if you prefer I have made a script for installing void with 66, it is in early developing stages for now and not complete (for example it will only install amdgpu drivers but you can install it later and only KDE is set up for a minimal installation) but you can try it! https://gitlab.com/skikky94/gab-void-linux-installer/-/tree/devel-choice2 Choose this branch
