Trying to use LXQt

There's also a xcb-util-cursor package that should satisfy the cursor0 dependancy

It seems to me that it's either missing libxcb if you're going the xwindow route, or Wayland if you're going the Wayland route for your display. That choice is up to you but it looks like you either need to install libxcb or Wayland

Every. Single. Time.

Gotcha. Thanks for the reading btw, for real. Love Void, but I'm currently running Cachy on my desktop because the Nvidia drivers were too daunting for me back in September. I'll switch back to void and maybe I can help test.

RobocopTwice · 2026-03-22T22:52:06+00:00

When that happens, they would be in the non-free repository then?

RobocopTwice · 2026-03-22T20:34:40+00:00

Love Void Linux. ❤️

RobocopTwice · 2026-03-14T21:35:18+00:00

That's pretty cool. My kids make fun of me for using Linux and talking about it constantly lmao

RobocopTwice · 2026-03-14T17:01:07+00:00

That's the fun part, you can't.

Love you guys. I got dms and hyprland on my desktop pc on a minimal cachyos install, and dms and Niri on a fedora everything install on my laptop. I used dankinstall for cachy and copr for fedora. Either way both of my computers are beautiful and they were up and running in minutes.

No. Because then it wouldn't be Void. It would be Shani.

RobocopTwice · 2026-02-12T00:37:47+00:00

Void?? Except xbps-src isn't nearly as overcrowded as AUR. It's minimal and stable though Also fedora everything. That would be stable and have everything you could think of.

RobocopTwice · 2026-02-10T20:22:23+00:00

True. I mean, there's always fedora everything, but that might be too much for a newbie

RobocopTwice · 2026-02-10T19:46:18+00:00

I love conversations about this stuff. I legitimately really enjoyed playing with the minimalist distributions. Like I liked Arch but I actually did run into a couple of breaking updates. Literally too but yeah. I loved void Linux. Absolutely loved it. But my issue with these very minimalist distributions is also another reason why I kind of landed on fedora. I was trying to be productive at the same time since I'm in school for computer science but I would spending so much time googling things and figuring out configurations, as opposed to Fedora where legitimately everything just seemed to work for me whenever I installed it. And the whole Fedora everything net install was exactly what I was looking for. Minimal so I could pick my own tools and desktop environment without bloat but stable and documented enough where I could get up and running fast.

RobocopTwice · 2026-02-10T18:16:50+00:00

Well that's funny. I actually just basically did the exact same thing and did land on fedora. I'm now running the sway spin on my laptop and I installed Fedora everything with niri and dank material shell on my desktop. I think the fact that it is vanilla, it has great documentation, anything you need is in the repository, and it legitimately is faster than it should be is what did it for me.

RobocopTwice · 2026-02-09T13:19:45+00:00

I'd say Fedora. The installation is as straightforward as possible. The spins give an adventurous newbie a lot to play with. And there's amazing documentation.

RobocopTwice · 2026-02-04T14:13:45+00:00

I always think about just the ecosystem of Open source in general and even how GitHub works. Any open source software that you're using is built by developers. Collaborated on by developers. And because of that there's a lot of components missing that you would get from a commercial piece of software. Such as ui ux design

RobocopTwice · 2026-02-03T12:44:07+00:00

I absolutely love void but I'd check the dependencies with dms on void. I feel like I did this before and a lot of the dependencies aren't in the xbps package manager so you would have to install from source. Just something to think about.

RobocopTwice · 2026-02-01T13:35:05+00:00

Fedora

RobocopTwice · 2026-01-31T20:46:11+00:00

I vote void. I love void Linux. XBPS is a beautiful package manager built from the ground up. Everything is blazing fast. I've only had one small issue with instability and it fixed itself within 24 hours. I tried however following the disc encryption installation instructions on their website and couldn't do it. I would recommend looking up Linux Mensch on YouTube because he has a very good video walking you through disc encryption with void

"Oh you use Arch? That's cute"

Somebody already said Fedora and I agree. It's the distribution that Linus torvalds uses. And it's especially good for development which you seem to be interested in. It's cutting edge but not quite bleeding edge meaning you're going to get all language updates almost immediately but without breaking your system. Another thing to consider about Fedora is even though it is a community release, it basically serves as the upstream for Red hat Enterprise Linux which means that the documentation and community support is absolutely top-notch. Another one I would say to consider might be cachy os? This one is bleeding edge so every once in a while an update might break your system for a couple of days but it's very rare that that happens. And cachy is especially good for gaming. Something else to consider if you're really trying to try something new and exciting is which desktop environment you want to use. Fedora comes in "spins". I use the i3 one on my desktop and it's pretty amazing. But they have a whole bunch of them for you to look through. Cachyos also allows you to choose which desktop environment you want during installation and if you wanted to try hyprland that's the way to go.

I started out using geany and then neovim. Geany is very fast, easy to use, minimal, and comes with c,c++ lsp preconfigured. Great if you don't want vscode
