#voidlinux on Freenode
--
Haven't updated my system in over two months. This is the big test for any package manager. Lets see if Void is good enough to perform this update flawlessly, or if it will go the way of Arch Linux and break.

Deprecated. In process of moving to voidlinux.org
https is not set up on the .org domain yet, so until that happens people should go to the .eu website. It will stay operational until the domain registration runs out.
This meme distro does not deserve a general
On the contrary, it's perhaps the only distro that does.
Every single fucking OS ever made is a meme according to Jow Forums
Any news of Juan?
It's actually the best systemd-less distro out there, runit is fast and stable. xbps (and xbps-src) is excellent. LibreSSL on top of that. Musl variant, if you prefer. What else do you want?
Didn't the dev leader run away?
I wish every company made proper templates for xbps.
World would have been awesome better place.
That's just default Nginx install
He's Juan but not forgotten.
it constantly breaks on updates and the worst is you can't even install a package if there is a pending ABI update that hasn't been done yet.
>it constantly breaks on updates
False. You might be confusing it with arch.
I personally run 2 PCs with it. One is updated daily, another once every couple of months. No breaks yet.
> and the worst is you can't even install a package if there is a pending ABI update that hasn't been done yet.
Partially true. You can't update/install package that is affected by the ongoing shlib change. They are doing something about it.
It works, doesn't it?
So what? It's community-driven. And the repo is public.
Not having AUR, make XBPS more solid and dependency check smarter. So it's not letting you update a pkg if you are going to break dependencies. Also, you could have forced the install.
More like Avoid Linux.
:^)
Why does this need a general? Fuck off retard.
RIP Juan
source?
This is bullshit. I have been using Void as my main distro for 6 months now and updates never break the system. You are thinking about Arch.
Have you ever tried Void?
They lost the github organisation and domains. Even if it doesn't kill the Distro it's a testament to how incompetent and unprepared they are.
probably got decapitated by the systemd cartel
Well incompetent and unprepared as they were, achieved more than competent and prepared ones. They didn't lose anything vital and can continue having learned from their 'administrative' mistakes.
Anyway, not going to argue as they had obvious flaws in that aspect. But I was just saying it is a nice distro memes aside.
What did they achieve again?
The best distro without systemd
Not but... the best distro without systemd.
You already have a general.
Than it is better than Gentoo?
this
that sounded 1000% more autistic than it did in your head
is there an easy way to get wifi working in the live cd?
>an easy way to get wifi working in the live cd?
Sure. Download cinnamon/xfce/whatever DE lived and do it through network manager.
Or you can use standard wpa_supplicant.
>network manager.
what if wifi isn't showing up?
>standard wpa_supplicant.
how do I properly do this? trying at what the wiki says for wireless doesn't seem to work in live cd unless I'm too brainlet and missed something
wifish:

>what if wifi isn't showing up?
What adapter? It should have all the drivers out of the box.
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN
don't know how intel wifi support usually is on linux, only have used ubuntu/derivatives
That would be MX Linux you retard
>Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN
Should work out of the box. Strange.
Does it say anything? What if you run nmtui from terminal?
So that's why they call it void
bump
i've just installed this.
feels very minimal having only ~130 packages.
Is it dead or dying because dev lead killed himself?
also, why are there so many binaries for the xbps package manager?
dont mind me, just here to check these digits
