it's very funny how computer people don't understand that everyone can tell they're using AI when they post shit with emojis like this. the tone isn't a certain giveaway but the emojis absolutely are

I love the nerd-fonts xbps package. I will not regret a 2gigabyte font package. There is nothing wrong with having 2 gigabytes of fonts on your system

Void-linux seems to be a good distro.

I gave it a quick try and I like the scripts it provides and the package manager xbps.

Void also supports musl which is good to see! It's hard to find distros that have a musl variant.

In my defence it takes like 10 minutes to download cjk fonts because void mirrors are ran on windows 95 machines apparently

IDK it's been too long since I used apt I'm too hot for xbps.

i've found myself maintaining my own set of xbps packages outside of xbps-src tbh, i'm biased towards aur

In Void Linux, XBPS has a way to handle binary alternatives

"xbps-alternatives"

Like you can switch from:

dracut to mkinitcpio (if you got mkinitcpio installed)

dash to bash (default is dash but can be switched to the installed bash)

python3 to python2 (if you got python2 installed)

I'm 70% considering moving to Void at the end of the month.

Spent more time playing with Void and ... learning so much about runit, and xbps.

I understand now why people call systemd bloat XD

messin with void linux on the thinkpad T60p

if you git clone something that should be in the OS already but isn't b/c of licensing or something so you can run
# ./xbps-src pkg vivaldi
# xbps-install --repository hostdir/binpkgs/notfree vivaldi
you get a web browser with a busted UI
