I wrote this little Bash script to help me reclaim disk space on my Void Linux system. It fully works from my testing, although I take no responsibility if this somehow breaks your system.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail

partitions=("/" "/home")
[[ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]] && echo "Run as root." && exit 1

get_used_space() {
    df --output=used "${partitions[@]}" | tail -n +2 | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'
}

start_used=$(get_used_space)
echo "Cleaning XBPS orphans, cache, and old kernels..."
xbps-remove -yoO
[[ -x $(type -P vkpurge) ]] && vkpurge rm all
end_used=$(get_used_space)
diff=$(( start_used - end_used ))
reclaimed=$(( diff / 1024 ))
if [[ $reclaimed -le 0 ]]; then
    echo "Nothing significant to clean."
else
    echo "Success! Reclaimed approximately ${reclaimed}MB across ${partitions[*]}."
fi

Hi fedi, I am trying to install Void Linux in a virtual machine (as a stepping stone to considering running it as my main distro).

I managed to set up the base system and installed the plasma-desktop and sddm packages, but I cannot actually get Plasma to launch. When I run startplasma-wayland from the tty, I get the following error

org.kde.startup: not a reply org.freedesktop.locale1 QDBusMessage(type=Error, service="", error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", error message="The name org.freedesktop.locale1 was not provided by any .service files", signature="s", contents=("The name org.freedesktop.locale1 was not provided by any .service files"))
startplasmacompositor: Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?

# ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /etc/runit/runsvdir/default/

Void Linux compiles its Tmux with utmp enabled by default, so you see a new user for every pane! Finally recompiled tmux to kill this. The Fix:
1. Clone void-packages & bootstrap xbps-src
2. Edit srcpkgs/tmux/template, removing libutempter-devel from makedepends, and --enable-utempter from configure_args
3. ./xbps-src pkg tmux
4. xbps-install --repository=hostdir/binpkgs tmux
5. Optional, but stops xbps-install -Su from silently nuking your tmux when a new version comes out: sudo xbps-pkgdb -m hold tmux
Result, with all 8 of my initial tmux windows up:
11:01:11 up 11 days, 19:00, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.09, 0.08
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
quin pts/0 10:54 7.00s 0.13s 0.01s tdsr-server
This makes me very happy.

Okay, I heard that runit init system is pretty fast. But was not ready for it...

Void Linux + Sway + TUIGreet. From decrypting LUKS to login screen (according to dmesg) - 0.8 seconds.
From pushing the button to login screen (excluding GRUB menu and typing in LUKS password) - just about 7 seconds.

Wild. Just wild.

I don't even know when I've last updated my archlinux rig and my vm's of various distros, but the snowflake proxy's almost donated a terabyte of bandwidth for 9 days now so yeah

Not an ad for XTAR, but did y'all know some rechargeable batteries now have USB-C ports?!?! My brother definitely found it weird, lol

It's pricier than a regular eneloop though

I’m thinking of switching away from Debian because of all the systemd AI garbage code. Are there any good alternative distributions that don't rely on systemd and aren't full of AI code? The only things that matter to me are that I can still use X11 and i3wm.

Maybe void Linux and runit are an option. I have to look into that.

edit: fixed typo

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@atoponce/116255862979155448

Good thing I've tried pretty much every other init out there last year so I can just move to any distro regardless of init.

They're honestly not that hard. I'm liking Void Linux's runit rn and dinit feels like systemd. Sysv's kinda ok but I'll get the hang of it.

I'm not gonna migrate out of systemd distros like Fedora, Debian, Arch and sum of their derivatives though, but if I ever see a window that asks for my birth day, I'm O-U-T, out!

#voidlinux #runit #systemd #archlinux #fedora #debian

Now I see why some people shit on systemd. For simple things, it's needlessly complex haha. I mean I already did something like this last year where I tried out other inits and I'd say sysvinit is one of the most complicated inits I've ever used when I played around with it.

It's WAY older than me. I'm only 23 years old and that thing is like 30+ years old

#voidlinux #runit #systemd #archlinux #cachyos #void #linux #freesoftware #opensource #sysvinit

Moved back to regular linux kernel on my arch rig and I've moved some of my operations from cachyos vm to voidlinux vm.

I also discovered how simple it was to make a service file on Void Linux. I was about to write a service file for zramen cos it was honestly just a matter of making a shell script but yeah I didn't know there's already a service file for that one, lol.

#archlinux #cachyos #voidlinux #linux #void #runit #systemd #freesoftware #opensource

I took the Adwaita and Adwaita-dark folders located in /usr/share/themes/ on my cachyos vm and placed 'em to the ~/.themes folder in my void linux vm, lol. It works tho

I don't know the name of the package that provides the adwaita-dark theme for xfce on void linux so yeah.

Just nabbed something from another vm to another vm like it's nothing. it's weird haha

While watching Brodie Robertson's reaction to LTT trying Linux again, I installed Void Linux. I picked the musl base live image and after install I had to manually install xfce and sum stuffs.

I'll be doing the stuff I've been doing in the cachyos vm here.

Simplified slstatus to what I actually use. Keybinds for applications back from sxhkd into config.def.h. Keys good again, VoidLinux updated. Thanks to the collective hangover after Tet I could do all this at work. Productive (finally) 😜

Я собрал template !!!
DAAAAAAAAAMN!

(Ссылка на template: тут)

Once again #KDE tries to get rid of minority distributions. This time by replacing SDDM with PLM (plasma login manager). PLM depends on systemd.
So sooner or later no KDE for #alpineLinux, #FreeBSD, #Gentoo, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #Slackware, #VoidLinux, etc.

For #BLFS it is no problem as BLFS itself recently discontinued its non-systemd version.

I take it back about #syncthing https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/tree/main/etc/linux-runit Mostly: it should be simply `export SYNCTHING="/usr/bin/syncthing`.

Decided to use my old #SteamController, which made it easy. The #VoidLinux `steam-udev-rules` package is useful for this. Or does it work without it? Shrug.

I made #DeckyLoader work with #runit, but it’s store is currently unavailable (just for me?) so I can’t test it. I also don’t know how it is updated.

So, now Haiku. Still JK.

#NotFullyLiveVoidPosting

Hey, look who’s back!

First, #VoidLinux updated without a hitch, despite being dormant for almost a year (really?! Wow!). But I didn’t – I’d completely forgotten my sway and foot shortcuts, so I installed #KDEPlasma instead (`kde-plasma` and `kde-baseapps`). It’s graphical, I know it, I like it. Then I installed `pulseaudio` to fix the sound. Enabled SDDM. And #WezTerm, why not.

He conseguido compilar #Tokodon en #VoidLinux. Ahora me queda por pulir la plantilla.

Volviendo con #ViernesDeEscritorio desde #VoidLinux mostrando #htop y #pfetch

Hello everyone. I'm The Owlbear. I've been here for like, a bit, and decided I finally needed to do a proper intro post.

I'm into many nerdy things, particularly TTRPGS, Video Games, and Science Fiction. A few of my favorite things:

* #Pathfinder2e and #Golarian in general.
* #Murderbot
* #Terraria (I suck at it tho)
* #Fallout but not 76 (or any other multiplayer only game for that matter)
* A very specific and short list of #Anime
* The two #Alien movies (Alien and its sequel, Aliens). I'm so glad they never made more.
* #TTRPGs that aren't D&D 5e (earlier editions are cool tho)
* #IndieGames
* #GameDesign
* #Linux and #Gnome, particularly #Arch #VoidLinux #AlpineLinux and #Fedora
* #LGBTQIA2S
* #Owls
* #Bears
* #Owlbears
* The #DCEU - now that James Gunn is in charge

I like other stuff too.

I don't like hate, that crap they call AI these days, trolls, and being shitty just to be shitty.

I believe in love, compassion, empathy, and generally not being a shit person.

Do I missing something and is the list correct?

I love #voidlinux so much. It really is like the #archlinux learning experience. #Void is fast, customizable and last but not least stable. I don't have to fear breakage when updating. I've always enjoyed #arch for the learning process and the #customizability and void gives me exactly that.

#linux #unix

Installing #VoidLinux is one thing, but documenting it is key. I'm working on #dracut hooks to automatically create and sign the #unifiedkernelimage. I've already done #FullDiskEncryption (including /boot)

The best thing is that i can lookup most of the stuff on the #ArchLinux #wiki (except #systemd stuff). I like #runit, though i'm not used to it yet.

I can also fix or reinstall the OS how much i want because of my separate /home partition. This level of customization and control is so cool.

I'm already excited to #automate the base system installation using #Ansible.
