Man, I completely forgot about that. That’s honestly wild to think about in retrospect…

Meant to reply to this but it got burried-

Oh I fully just gave up 😅 the reason I didn’t get it figured out is cause I didn’t stick with it lol. My previous laptop had broken and I decided I wanted to just go ahead and be up and running on the replacement rather than tinkering with void setup. I might come back to it at some point, but it’s definitely beyond my competency. Especially since ideally I’d like to have luks encryption, which I know you can do, but not from the more basic install process if I remember right.

Network manager (so I could use GNOME settings to change networks), and audio through pipewire were the two remaining things. I gave setting up pipewire a try following a YouTube tutorial, but it didn’t work properly, and at that point I decided I just wanted to have a working laptop again after a couple weeks without. But I did learn a bunch! and got a lot more comfortable with the command line!

Package kit is what allows graphical software stores or graphical package managers to integrate with the native package manager backend if I understand right. I’d miss being able to browse native packages along side flatpaks.

I found that fork, but yeah I don’t think it works. There were also one or two graphical software stores specifically for xbps, but I don’t recall if they’re still maintained, and I don’t think there was a GTK option. Part of me desperately hopes someone will make a simple distro based on void that functions as a customized install, kinda like spiral linux or gecko linux, for debian and opensuse. Until then, I know that my perfect distro might be out there, if I can just successfully get everything initally set up 🥲

Maybe I’ll make an IRL linux friend I’m close enough to harass into helping me with it at some point lol. Hope you have a lovely day!

Thats pretty sick!

It can build packages from source like Gentoo though if I remember right

I’ve never really had issues with systemd, but I must say when I was setting up void I did really enjoy the runit init system 🤷‍♂️

Aw neat! Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you :)

I’d heard the story was kind of a letdown (I don’t have hardware I can play 3 on, so I haven’t gotten to it yet) so I’m really just hoping the story gets the focus and effort it needs; 1 & 2 had really excellent writing and story design and it feels like a huge loss for the series if they can’t find that again

I tried when I set up my new laptop and definitely learned a ton, but eventually stalled at getting network manager setup so I could use GNOME settings to configure networks, and getting sound set up

I completely forgot about trying it in a VM, I may have to go give that a try!

If it had package kit implementation so I could use a graphical package manager/app store it’d basically be my perfect distro if I could get it set up the way I want. An independent distro, super elegant, if I understand right the packages are all vanilla, “stable rolling release”. I really like it, a minimal distro is just a bit beyond me skill-wise, and I’d miss having a way to browse native (non-flatpak) applications graphically

Frankly I’d much rather have void. Super cool distro, a lot of things about it seem like an ideal fit for me, I just don’t really have the technical skill to get a minimal distro all set up the way I want it

Plus their logo is pretty. Which shouldn’t matter but like, look at it- it’s a cool logo!

Fuck yeah!

I’m a little confused, what do you mean? That because it’s an open source project it’s more polite to request than demand?

Sincere question, I don’t quite follow

Ah… Yeah 6e seems like a reasonable ask

That’s awesome! The links to buy seem to be down though which is less than helpful

That might be an issue with how your client is rendering it. In app via Thunder I’m not having that problem, but it’s good for people to know it says 62%!

Thanks :)

Super interesting read, thank you!

The pixelfed app is in beta, but you can use it. In my experience it’s pretty unstable right now

Edit: figured I should mention, I just use pixeldroid right now which is less unstable https://f-droid.org/packages/org.pixeldroid.app/

Thats genuinely amazing. The OSM community doesn’t care if what you built is dumb, they just care if it’s on the map

Props to them
