• Distro for a few years old cheap laptop

  I think Arch-based distros like arch, arcolinux, archcraft or instantos are suite for your laptop. More over you can use void or gentoo if you are experienced user.

• gns3 failing to start
  reddit.com/r/voidlinux | 2021-09-11

  That is my fault. Well, my fault that it isn't fixed yet. I'm the maintainer of the gns3-server and gns3-gui packages. A while back the python3-distro package was updated without updating the gns3 packages so the requirements file is out of sync with what's available in void-packages. I am working on a PR that upgrades GNS3 and updates the dependencies to match what is available in void-packages. Here is the PR: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/32737.

• Julia Beta 4 can't run in voidlinux in Termux on Android

  If you're intent on using the latest Julia, why not edit the Julia template and rebuild it with (xbps-src)[https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/]?

• Problems using NitroKey Pro
  reddit.com/r/voidlinux | 2021-09-02

  I installed these packages (gnupg2-scdaemon, pcsc-ccid and libnitrokey) although I am not sure if I need all of them. NitroKey is recognized by dmesg and with root everything looks good, so I assume that maybe a group is missing for my own user?

• Creating packages for local repo
  reddit.com/r/voidlinux | 2021-08-29

  You can use git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages.git to clone the repository without history. This is significantly faster.

• My MacBook Pro had over 10k USD in repairs

  So basically void linux plus trinity (TDE) or mate for the continuation of kde 3 or gnome 2.

  There is an issue to package TDE for void and it apparantly can be built.
