I’ve been playing more demanding games on my #VoidLinux Hack #SteamMachine. There is a way to get #Steam to recognize all the buttons and gyro of a #FlydigiApex5. Add

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="37d7", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2501", MODE="0666"

to `/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-steam-input.rules`, then reboot. You need Windows to enable the feature, but then it works on Linux. Source: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/12534

did you know hyprland is not available by default on void linux? it's because for some reason void devs have some beef with the owner of hyprland, therefore they literally refused their package!

i already despite dealing with linux but if it's for the babies to cry at themselves and doing some censorship shenanigans it ain't getting better.

#cachyos Veo mucha gente feliz con esto y me parece genial. Soy usuario de Linux desde Slackware 1.0 y hoy tengo unas 15 máquinas corriendo #VoidLinux.

Pero quiero marcar algo que se repite mucho sobre CachyOS y no siempre es real: eso de “reemplazo de Windows 11”.

En mi PC principal, Windows 11 funciona perfecto. CachyOS no. Y no hablo de una PC rara: simplemente hardware viejo que todavía sirve. Entonces cuesta llamarlo “reemplazo” cuando el sistema más pesado del mercado corre bien y una distro moderna no.

Entiendo que el hardware avanza y que Linux también apunta a tecnologías nuevas, pero antes Linux tenía algo muy fuerte: revivir máquinas viejas.

Hace años, cuando un amigo tenía una PC lenta, la respuesta era:
“Poné Linux y vuela”.

Lamentablemente, siento que parte de eso se fue perdiendo.

Тут намедни один товарщи задавал вопрос о целесообразности установки #Gentoo. В ответе своём упомянул, что пакеты можно собирать локальнно и в #VoidLinux, но без такой тонкой конфигурации а-ля USE-флаги.

Вторым аргументом ЗА стала кофигурация ядра под себя. Теперь я заинтересовался и этим у себя в Void. Процесс в виде вкл/выкл галочки, сохранения конфига.

Много не знакомых параметров, как бы чего не сломать, отключив только лишнее. Посмотрим, что из этого выйдет … 🧐

Okay, nerds, I'm thinking about moving from #Debian to #VoidLinux ; I've daily-driven Debian for over a decade now, and mostly have no problems with it. I've just been increasingly leery of systemd, which now is rearing its ugly head (in admittedly an unexpected way) with the whole age-verification thing; runit does seem much less Lovecraftian.

I installed Void just for the heck of it a couple of years ago on an old/underpowered netbook style laptop, and it seemed just fine, but I didn't use it much or rely on it for anything.

I run sway as my VM with just a couple of custom programs as a sort of nod to a "desktop environment".

Is there anybody out there who has experience with both who wants to either reassure me or scare me off? Any advice would be appreciated.

5. Download this theme: https://store.kde.org/p/1288327, extract it, and take the panel.xpm file from wherever you saved it: Nano-Blu-Xfce/panel/panel.xpm, and set it as the top panel's background. For the lower one, I cropped and flipped it via online image editor.

The rest, like icon layout, separators, and other utilities you choose to put on your taskbar, is up to you. Good luck!

Also HOLY HECK did not expect this to max the character limit.

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.

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

#voidlinux #cachyos #linux #archlinux #virtualmachine

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) 😜
#archlabs #dwm #voidlinux

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

#VoidLinux is great. It's a #diy #distro and therefore very #customizable, but also stable and very intuitive.

I'm setting it up via #Ansible and will then do a fluent switch to it as soon as the #playbook is done. Can't wait to #dailydrive it. I've also read multiple times that the gaming performance is very good.

What i like the most is that

• xbps is really fast
• there are a lot of packages in the repo
• the packages are reasonably up-to-date
• the nvidia driver installation is very easy
• the overall performance is stunning

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

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.

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

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

Buenas noches,

Tengo problemas para instalar cualquier distribución de #Linux que lleve #systemd en un ordenador HP X360 convertible que ya tiene unos años.

La única distribución que funciona es #AntixLinux y #voidLinux y no están exentas de problemas, porque si reviso el htop un procesador siempre está casi al 100% de uso, y se recalienta mucho.

¿Alguna idea?

@codemonkeymike #nixOS (and future updates) will fit in 16GB? I'd imagine a few browser updates and generations and space would be gone.

I've upgraded 2 CB's myself. One I replaced the 8gb drive with a 128gb drive and it's currently got #voidlinux. The other I left a 16gb drive in and have #PeppermintOS currently, #antixlinux previously.

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.

it wasn't fully from scratch, but still turned out better than the original. It's not quite finished yet... at least works without crashing
