Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    true. i main gentoo but if i get a new device or something i just install void cuz i'm lazy :P

    Void is my main system but I miss some essential features (in my opinion) : Disk Encryption out of the box and a lSO with libre kernel

    You don't compile everything from source in Void. Most popular packages are prebuilt and available in the default repo, even some proprietary ones (if the license allows redistribution).

    Ahh i see. Yeah that makes sense, the void repo is huge.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    Well, maybe not huge, but fairly big, yes. It's a close second to Arch and the only distro that's not systemd based that has that ammount of packages, whether it be prebuilt or not.

    The scripting system and xtools is what makes it so appealing. You could litelarly have a working template for xbps-src in hours (at worst). And then you just run ./xbps-src pkg whatever and that's that, you can install your package on your system, share the template with the world, whatever you like.

    Wow I didn't know about that. Definitely gonna try that out and maybe contribute some templates.

    You submit them to the void-packages repo.

    https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages

    But, they can be somewhat strict. They have their own rules and if the package doesn't follow the guidelines, it won't get accepted (most probably). Still, you can make your own repo with the template.

    But xbps is fun and quirky. )=
