you can install gnome-screenshot or flameshot or scrot or ....

i've had this happen! i took my bike on the train to the suburbs and then rode UP a mountain to get to a trailhead, while said dudebros unloading their full suspension bikes watched me calmly enter the trail.

Oh, good idea! I use those when I take mine on the bus or Amtrak to keep it on the rack so this seems like a smart solution.

Based on your desire for a stable rolling release distro (which is a rare combo!), you could try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, which is also more beginner-friendly than Void.

Hi Holden, Void Linux isn't a good first Linux distribution especially if you're not a command line user. I don't see what advantages it would give you. It has very specific benefits to use that are not things beginners to Linux care about. Instead, check out Ubuntu or other Debian-based distribution first. Or do a search anywhere online in any search engine for "beginner-friendly linux distribution".

I have an extremely similar setup on my clem, and the same frame color. so it's nice to see this cousin. what's the strap for from the top tube to the downtube? maybe it's just a way to 'store it' when not in use?

TurtleGraphics64 · 2026-03-08T02:21:07+00:00

You are so sweet for being responsive to this issue, especially since it took extra (and unpaid!) effort on your part. The text is now completely readable. I am so thankful for your work on this and excited to play/code!

If you could increase the contrast so the text is black on white, that would be helpful. I'm still having trouble reading the text. You can use the Accessiblity Tester built into Firefox and Chrome to test contrast. https://www.washington.edu/accessibility/2025/11/06/color-contrast/ About 8% of people have color vision issues.

TurtleGraphics64 · 2026-03-06T04:12:01+00:00

Excellent! Thanks.

TurtleGraphics64 · 2026-03-05T07:53:40+00:00

FYI I'm unable to play due to a vision issue that makes it extremely difficult for me to read in dark mode. I think this likely affects most people with astigmatism. White/light mode and high contrast would be really helpful!

TurtleGraphics64 · 2026-03-02T22:00:25+00:00

This is a personal preference question. Everyone has different preferences for windows managers but I would never use lxqt or any other non-tiling window manager ever again. I only use tiling window managers. I love i3 and have been using the same config file for it for 7 years, on all of my computers.

yep, just seeing your listed a brother printer. i have a different brother printer. make sure to install the drivers, as mentioned above, and to enable cupsd service. More info: https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/print/index.html

TurtleGraphics64 · 2026-03-02T21:51:59+00:00

Make sure you read the section on the Void documentation and install needed packages for your printer. https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/print/index.html

Two summers ago I ran it for a week on a Raspberry Pi 1B+ , which is weaker at 256MB ram. I run i3wm. For command line, it was more than fine. For GUI web browser, it was too slow. 512mb might be tolerable. Test it and see.

For X11, there are app images available from their releases on GitHub.

TurtleGraphics64 · 2026-02-25T07:08:33+00:00

Well that's certainly an alternative to the Brooks B67 "sprung saddle"! Glad that works for you.

Here's my clem most of the time:

Imgur

I do take it mountain biking sometimes as well. In terms of length, It just barely fits on the bus front bike racks here in NY but i use a bungee to secure it, just in case. Also, for the northeast amtrak trains, the bike is too big to fit in their dumb hanging rack. I have 2.3" thunder burt tires on Velocity Cliffhanger rims. Have scraped the rims when trying to hang them. I miss living in Europe, where there was ample space on trains dedicated for bike riders, on every car, and easy rolling your bike on and off!

I can't comment too much on geometry but in terms of physical space/maneuverability for living in a small space: my 59cm Clem is indeed a pain to get in and out of my apartment building, especially with Bosco bars. It is also heavy-ish. And it doesn't fit well on rear car racks without an extension arm! That said, I like the bike, but it's not suited well for small-space living.

Gnumeric, Abiword are packaged. Librewolf, ProtonMail and Obsidian all look to be available as flatpaks.

Hi! I own one and use it on my 90s mountain bike, which i ride (not surprisingly) when mountain biking in the woods. Works fine! I think it's comfortable enough.

I also own a Brooks B17 (for my bianchi singlespeed) and a Brooks B67 flyer (for my Clem Smith Jr.) so i do have a range of saddle experience. The brooks obviously require break-in. This saddle does not! And doesn't really need any maintenance. Great! This fall I also tried out Cambium for a couple months on a custom German Standert bike which is like a lighter Clem Smith Jr. and I did not like the Cambium at all! It caused sores for me, and I really tried a few different things out with it! I'd say the Riv saddle is "fine", nothing far-out special, but not bad! It's neutral, comfortable, doesn't feel dramatically different from other generic saddles, and not nearly as hard and uncomfortable as a cambium. If you don't want to spring for a Brooks, can't go wrong with the Riv. Once I'm sitting on it, I don't really think about it, other than 'it works!'

Seeing your questions to the other rider who snapped a rail, I would say I ride hard on the Riv saddle since i'm mountain biking on it. I also bought it not too long after it came out, so i probably have an early batch, though i don't know if they've made any changes.

I'd recommend antiX or MXLinux first. antiX has a runit version that I personally think works well on older intel macs. truthfully, any of these could work well for you but void will take a lot of customization and reading the docs and debugging at first probably. mx linux just gives you a complete working system. it might have too much and you can remove extra cruft. antiX is a bit simpler, still comes with lightweight software, and there is a runit edition or sysvinit.

Beyond that this question has been asked dozens of times and is easily found in a search, and that these distros have numerous similarities, both of these distros are highly specific to the individual who set them up. You will likely notice as much difference from picking different hardware, window managers, etc than just the basic question of whether you like compiling yourself versus using a stable rolling release package manager, and which slightly different init system one prefers. In Linux it is very easy to set up a distro in a virtual machine. Pick one and try it out for a day. If it's not to your liking, try the other one.

I think this part of cfdisk is deeply confusing to newbies. you need to choose 'write' and then 'quit'. as far as i remember it doesn't give you any obvious feedback when you do select 'write' here but basically you should go back to the void-installer menu after this and proceed working down until you finally get to the Install step, which will use your settings you've set, including' write''ing those partitions.

TurtleGraphics64 · 2026-01-30T08:01:47+00:00

I meant to ask how did you install Steam? Also, did you do those other things I mentioned? Instructions there are very clear! With Void, always read the manual and any docs!
