I take everything i have ever said about any linux distro back 1000 times. Void Linux is my absolute dream distro. They were NOT joking about Runit being faster

been thinking about giving Void a try. I've heard some stuff about compatibility issues due to the lack of systemd or the fact that some programs have to be compiled from source code due to Void's package manager. Still, if you're still going strong after a few weeks i'll probably give it a try this summer

have they added full-disk encryption to the installer yet? i remember testing and really liking it a few years ago but that put me off using it as my main distro

@taibhse apparently yes: https://docs.voidlinux.org/installation/guides/fde.html

I will likely eventually post about my experience later on but so far i haven't seen anything missing. Anything i couldnt find i just got on flatpak, you can also double check here https://voidlinux.org/packages/ I want to say it was easier to install then arch, but a little tougher then something like fedora/mint that has a visual GUI.

@just-a-husk i know about that, i meant in the installer. i don't want to have to do it manually. i remember there was an issue or PR about it like 5 years ago but i don't think they've done anything with it to this day

The classic Linux experience right here. Mint my beloved, Arch not working and fucking Gentoo

i'm starting to understand this urge to tinker with something, especially tech. there were thoughts in my mind like "i should try installing arch, mint was easy so this MUST be easy too!", but after reading this i don't think i'll have that thought ever again

Try the flatpak version of Steam if you did not already! if you have any issues like with Steam definitely give Aurora a shot, its also Fedora, it is immutable, comes with all the libraries/software you might need, and its made by the same people who make Bazzite (also great).

@sclptures If you're interested in Arch but too nervous to install, I recommend EndeavorOS or CachyOS. There *is* also an Archinstall script for Arch that helps with the installation but i've heard of some people having issues. Also if i'm being honest, and i probably should have included this, If i wasn't dualbooting on the same disk Arch probably would have worked way better/out the box

The way windows, everytime i try to dual boot with a new distro, completely ruins my computer is truly a sight to behold. I have windows in case for school but im thinking of installing it onto a portable ssd. You cannot begin to explain the pain i have gone through these past 2 weeks.

If you've never tried Linux before, Mint is a good place to start. If you want an optimized distro for gaming, CachyOS seems to be the place to be rn. If you want something stupidly stable that can run on older hardware, Debian's a good choice. And if you just want something that's good overall, Fedora seems to be a good pick.

And if you want something that radically redefines security and eats through RAM like nothing else because it turns every window/program into its own VM, pick Qubes OS

Thank you all for the input. I should have clarified ive used mint for awhile, but the past couple of weeks ive been installing/trying stuff out with my free space + virtual machines. I’ve been getting very into linux so ill likely make a blogpost (or a few) about it haha

ive been using mx linux mostly bc its among the only one my poor baby laptop can run (2gb ram :skull:) but its honestly been pretty good, i like its package installer UI (but im also super baby with linux so ive got no experience outside of that)

I use fedora and KDE on all my machines, if you want a plug and play distro Aurora is pretty good and hard to mess up, although you cant go wrong with good ol Debian.

I'm going to be completely honest i've tried to install arch about 6 times but keep running issues with dual booting in the grub bootloader. I do think its an attractive system (outside of the memes/clout) but fedora and debian are tempting me to. I really wish i was smart enough to get more of the deep differences between distros

honestly there is not going to be a tangible difference for the majority of people (and that is a good thing) so unless you run into specific issues with some packages that in the unlikely event cannot be solved you really cant go wrong with whatever seems the most appealing.

Ive been working on and off on this site update for a few months. I have a few more pages half done that i want to finish but i decided to just get it out there cause its been haunting me
that reminds me, how's 2 weeks of Void treating you?
I actually love void, its probably my one of my favorite distros out of the ones i tried. I'm currently trying out Arch and NixOS because I want to give those more of a shot, but Void and Arch are my favorites. The only negative to void is that theres not as many packages and that a fair amount of packages require more setup because of relying on systemd, but if you don't want to use systemd then void's great.
