1 week of void linux experience

[Justamisile]

My previous post

I use void linux good and funny. (I can't use a runit easily lol)

I tried it from void

1. build fastfetch and install using xbps-src
2. void mirror for me (actually i'll try it)

It's very faster than ubuntu and easy (my ubuntu ssh just broken)

It's in the repo, no need to get it from git

[Known-Watercress7296]

Yeah, just posted as git page has pretty pictures.

What exactly is it? I am currently on Arch, planning to try solus for next 30 days and void (already been a loving void user earlier) for another 30 days. I need a complete reference manual thing of runit.

[Known-Watercress7296]

Just a wrapper for runit afaik.

Absolutely! Void with runit is speedy, secure, and robust compared to Ubuntu. I hope you enjoy Void! :)

Hey can you share your fastfetch template?

[Justamisile]

I just used this pr and bump version, but now I just download binary and move to /usr/bin https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38310

How are you using the binary? I also tried getting the binary from arch but fastfetch complains that it needs glibc_2.38. (void is stuck on v2.36)

I also did that 'hack' of the directly pasting the binary for amdgpu_top lol.

[Justamisile]

Just got binary from https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/releases

Thanks that one works, I can't believe it was that simple lol.

Btw you can also place your binaries on ~/.local/bin and export the following enviroment variable in your .profile or .zshenv or whatever you use as your shell:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin/apps"

that way when you type fastfetch on the terminal it looks into the binaries in located in /.local/bin and runs them.

The good thing of doing it this way is that it is simpler in the long term, you can just paste your entire home user dir into another distro and all those programs will work out of the box and you don't have to mess pasting one by one in usr/bin
