No, it's not libre.
It's not strictly GNU either (especially the MUSL version).
Adrian Lee
Parabola and Void are both pretty good imo. Parabola officially support OpenRC I think.
William Bell
Void does not use systemd so thats what I assume it uses
Chase Harris
Its arch except not shit.
Henry Turner
Void uses Runit as its init. You literally only have to make symlinks to enable services and use sv to stop/start them.
Ryder Bailey
How is it not shit compared to Arch?
Dominic Peterson
Real talk - Arch is not exactly KISS just because it sucks the systemdong. Void just does its own thing.

I never said GNU is in any way good.
But user asks about Void as a substitute for both GNU and Libre distro. Void is neither of those.
John Martin
Whats the diffirence between regular and MUSL version
Robert Hernandez
Other user here. musl and glibc refer to the C libraries that software is compiled against. What I personally experienced from using musl Void is frequent kernel panics. glibc is memed as being bloated, but musl might have some ways to go if you are looking for a general use system.

Installed it on a laptop yesterday. Was buggy since the very beginning (whenever I connected to a network through the NMapplet the X server would refuse to open new windows for me). I don't think it's acceptable to firefight a system I just installed and did not touch. For the record, I was using their xfce image.

The c library against which software is compiled.
To the end user it means that all the closed software (and my fucking Panasonic printer) doesn't work.
Never got a single panic like , but a couple programs crashed with memory exceptions.
Cool idea but not ready.
Did you use 'local install'?
ISOs are terribly old by now. Use "void-mklive" instead.
Also, I recommend using "chroot" install described on the web page.

how come?
Joseph Murphy
it was the unofficial Jow Forums binary distro, until (((they))) killed the creator and performed a hostile take over of the irc and moved the main site to a new domain
Gavin Richardson
How's using Systemd considered not KISS?
John Sanders
What happened with the creator? It's like he just lost interest and dissapeared from what I could read.
Carter Cruz
He simply stopped communicating with them
Evan Sullivan
I use it on my laptop and desktop, it's great.
That's probably a NetworkManager issue. wpa_supplicant (+ wpa_gui if you need a graphical interface) is the way to go.
Ayden Walker
>how come?
Vivaldi and such in repos, non-free repos, non-libre kernel by default and so on.
>wpa_supplicant (+ wpa_gui if you need a graphical interface) is the way to go.
There is also Intel's iwd, but I can't make it work with my eduroam.
Andrew Diaz
NetworkManager never did that to me on literally any other distro.
Austin Davis
did they find the dev?
