@@Zero-oq1jk no I just get bored of what de or wm I use so every month I install a new void installation followed by a wm or de and etc ... . I tried 10 wms
void is actually life changing. Its a blank slate distro but its extremely easy to use. Highly stable + all the packages I want + low level, simple control over services.
I've been using Void for about a year now, and I really like it. It really does tread the fine line between stability and a rolling release. It also cured me of 10+ years of distro-hopping!
perfect on all hardwares, especially the shite shite ones; atom pc, with soldered 32gb of rom, 2 gb of ram (oldered as well, 1.8 usable) and i stil use void xfce, like a champ 😀
I have been using it for 3 years now. I am a regular linux user. I started using it in 1998 (Slackware). I have used Debian for decades. And now...VOID. I am a full stack web developer and in 3 years not a single problem. The system NEVER BREAKS and I sometimes push things to the limit (I use xdeb to convert debian packages to xbps package and this sometimes can break the userspace). Fully satisfied and I think I will never quit using it.
I've been a habitual distro hopper, though with most of my time on Arch based distros in the last several years. Then, about a year and a half ago I found VOID. It lives on my primary desktop (for work and personal items) and I have no desire to switch. Rock solid. Yes, it's a chore to get it setup properly but after an afternoon of that, you'll have the best Linus system I've ever found since 1996.
I was on Void for about a year but a couple of months ago I installed Debian-testing onto my pc because I wanted more package availability that was still fairly upto-date and I miss Void already, such a brilliant, lightweight distro, rock solid, didn't have any problems at all over the year I used it.
G'day everyone! Thanks to DT for the video about such a wig distro as Void Linux. A unique distro it appears to be. Only after I tried Arch did I realize how fast a modern OS can really be. Void seems to be a more stable option (it would be cap not to admit Arch broke in few months). It is a highly based distro for those who have reached tranquility of mind, periodt. P.S. I know it's a weird comment, I just had a task in an online English school to comment my fav youtuber's video applying new grammar and slang vocab c:
wow this amuses me, not in a bad way, your english is remarkably good, just the online english school telling you to make a youtube comment is hilarious! Keep at it! your already amazing!
Do you have some kernel configuration documentation by the way? I mean Gentoo is great and all, but the menuconfig help entries are often quite useless.
@@callisoncaffreyYes, I do. I have a private Git repository for sync-ing dotfiles, I haven't got any public ones yet - but I might be able to do something on that. I do have kernel configs for pretty much every Intel 32 and 64 bit architecture between Pentium III and Intel Core i series.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 That's not what I asked though. I did that once, trusting someone with the config they gave me. Ended with me being banned and then having to write a bug report on their shit, because the issue wasn't my kernel config but missing shebangs in their packages. They are all bassoons (translate it from German) over there too. "I rather have bad code than impolite coders" is the sentence that I will never forget. Anyway, documentation is what I asked for, not finished .config files.
I installed Void Linux in a VM a long time ago, and I was blown away by how simple, light and fast it was in a crap laptop... inside a VM. Even today, is my main distro.
Great review as always! Love watching your videos! I put Void Linux on my (at least) 10 year old laptop and I'm amazed how fast and smooth it runs and how simple it is to configure, especially the services. Void Linux is giving me some BSD vibes! I always like watching your videos and reviews and learned a lot about Linux. Thank you! Keep up the great work! Greetings from Germany!
I installed Void in October 2023; came from Fedora KDE Spin. Been loving it ever since! It's much faster, and I like the minimalism influence of the developers' past BSD experience.
Considering how many linux distros are now out there it's understandable that you miss some of them. In my case I miss a lot of them. I just limit my use to three, Debian, Fedora and btw I also use Arch
Using Void on an SSD USB disk since a month and I'm impress. I like it very much. I have installed a based void system and added wayland and Wayfire as Wm. It's all based on recent packages with the most recent kernel. It's been very stable and flawless. Void documentation is quite good and the community is more friendly than Arch ;=). I will keep it for a while to see how it goes. Cudo to the Void teams for their excellent work. +1
While I don't generally care about init systems, and I am currently on a systemd distro, it has been quite nice mixing things up with runit, and it is generally a very simple init system to use, even if you're familiar with systemd.
Great peak into Void. Careful on the FUD regarding old iso's - I still install CentOS 7.6 on every server that I build. I then update the LIBC and Kernel manually. But, the installs do still work - even on the latest Milan and Bergamo Epyc CPUs.
I have been on Arch for about a decade, and don't really have any incentive to make any changes to my daily driver, but Void is definitely a distro that I have been interested in. I have been tinkering with it in a VM for a bit, and it does seem very solid, I believe that I would already consider it my "second favorite" distro. I know that systemd is controversial (with merit), but I personally don't take issue with it, so the "no systemd" on its own isn't enough of a factor to make me switch. I opted for the musl variant, and it is interested using a distro without systemd and GNU tooling, and learning the various alternatives.
so glad I read comments while listening to the first few minutes. The guy could have just read this comment verbatim and I would got better understanding of void Linux
Void is awesome. I still love to distro hop lol. Especially right now with my thinkpad p1 gen 2 with quadro t2000. I might give it a try again. I used to know runit well but I've been slacking life gets in the way too. Great video.
Hey DT, there's only a XFCE Void ISO for a DE. You might have been confused with another runit distro which had a few other DE config ISOs. Cheers. Unless the "unofficial" ones.
i also tried void linux few days ago, dual boot with Windows 7 in 32 bit 1 Gb CPU. although it looks like a minimalist distro but it runs slighly slower than what i experienced in MX Linux and AntiX. the installation was a bit hard because it's quite manual (especially in harddrive partition part). i did recorded my experience in my channel.
I've used void for over 6 months and i think it's a great distro. I even made a few package templates for myself to use with xbps-src (template is similar to a pkgbuild on arch). I decided to move away from it because i ended up wanting some more up to date software, and i also couldn't boot the latest kernel version for some reason that i wanted to use because it fixed some issues with my gpu. I tried opensuse tumbleweed first but grew tired of it after a week. Now i'm on nixos and i think it's here to stay. Really liking it so far. Just took a while to configure everything since it does have a learning curve.
I'm good with Zorin 17.1 Pro, _but, that said..._ it's still fascinating to me to watch footage of other distros, just to keep aware of what else is out there.
what i love about void linux is it's simplicity and snappiness. never have i seen any other linux distro yet that mimics the same snappy behavior of void linux. it's desktop/windows/mouse rendering are somehow vsynced out of the box. it's very noticeable esp at high refresh rates. window dragging, even dragging a browser playing 4k60 youtube video is very smooth and does not show any screen tearing... that and with minimal memory and cpu utilization makes me like this OS more.. even more than windows.
Void user here. Some things I want to mention about the video: They only have 1 desktop it's xfce, I use river btw. It should not be installed with the installer, that's buggy... unless they fixed it now. It's better to install xchroot advanced install. About the old ISOs, you can install old isos and just update the system. I've done it several times without problems. One of the main sellling points about void is start up time, not mentioned in the video. My personal take - most packages are available by default while on Arch you have to do the AUR. Runit is much simpler to use that systemd. Most services are a 1 line long script, 5 if you count the blank lines and boilerplate.
Thanks. I don’t know why I keep looking a distros as I am not a hopper. Learning to make the one I use work for me and leave the distro hopping to the time on their hands intrepids.
I tested this in VMWare Workstation 15 Pro, with the no desktop variant and setting up LXDM and i3 to my liking for the first time. XBPS is pretty dang fast, faster than Apt minus my VM's slower NAT connection. The ONLY hiccup I had was the keyboard layout changing back on me, so I added setxkb to i3's startup. The moment I can send my laptop to a repair shop, I'm installing this the same way, with more stuff such as my GPU driver.
Only problem with void linux is repository is small. Also, repository doesn't have older version of packages. Otherwise perfect light non systemd distro
@@littlepeon I wanted mutable and immutable at same time like vanilla os but instead of container, like to use nix as native package solution, this combo with clear linux optimisation
I recall Bodhi Linux used about 100MB less RAM than this version of Linux. You mentioned this Void install was about as small as you'll get for a GUI GNU Linux distro. It would be interesting to know what is making Bodhi so much more RAM efficient and what Void provides that Bodhi can't do. I like Bodhi for running apps in VMs on Windows due to the low RAM usage. One downside is the disk space seems bloated. An interesting video would be showing how to minimize Bodhi's disk space for those wanting low resource Linux VMs on older notebooks.
@@tylerdean980 Yea I tried BusyBox and Alpine distros but Bodhi was just so much more responsive and everything I tried installed. That MUSL sounds interesting. Thanks.
hey DT! i saw an ad about the smallest operating system thats only 1.44Mb and has a full fledged gui and apps and games. its called kolibri os. i dont think its linux. could you do a vm and review on this 1? the thing that puzzles me is how do they manage to crunch so much stuff in just 1.44mb. the lightest linux today is a net install iso of minimum 700mb.
gave void a try; actually pretty cool, could have IMHO the potential to become an alternative to the ubuntu-based linux-mint, IF they bring a graphical installer and application-management. (also some sort of supporting other packages - eg i enjoy working with freeoffice, didn't find a way to get THAT installed... (i'm no expert, actually don't want to become one thus me not having many alternatives to linux mint))

Void is the distro that succeeded in taking me away from Arch Linux after using it for years, haven't looked back in 3 years. I'm here typing in Void on my machine at work, and also use it on 3 machines at home, and one of them runs AAA games like a beast.
As I found Openbox by your recommendation. But interested only by future, not X11. LabWC seems as great wayland replacement for Openbox. I would love to see more videos on Void with LabWC. Void will be my first Linux ever! I would love to go with musl but it may be too far. I don't know.
MUSL is better if you have a more limited use case, many things expect GlibC, like steam, for example. Try it in a VM and see if all the software that you use works fine with MUSL if you're seriously considering it.
@@tylerdean980 I do not game at all. But Davinci Resolve and other high pro tools are what interest me. What about install with musl and when program needed. Only then load glib dependencies?
Chicago Time Zone, Chicago mirror. Is there anyone who still believes that DT isn’t in Chicago? If you have to say that often that you aren’t in Chicago, you probably are.
To maintain no, Just to configure if you install the base version. Void is pretty stable, XBPS is atomic, that is If a operation on pkg fail its not applied.
here's a sample video to show how solidly fluid window refresh is oobe in void linux. it rivals mac osx. no other linux distro comes close to this fluidity, esp with minimal cpu utilization - ua-cam.com/video/H0XfjmnpGpA/v-deo.html
Man who develop this distro left project...cus he got personality issue thx others maintain this great distro now Great distro / runit is much much better and simpler than systemd/ great building tools /independant distro/ stable roling
Distro seems a little lacking in _substance_ if you catch my drift... But in case it becomes very elite and high-status, I will use it, or at least tell people on the internet I do, for the social prestige. 👍
This post may piss a few people off, but there's no such thing as a stable rolling release because it's a moving target, and from time to time you'll miss your target.

Chicago Time Zone, Chicago mirror. Is there anyone who still believes that DT isn’t in Chicago? If you have to say that often that you aren’t in Chicago, you probably are.
I thought that runit was supposed to be pronounced R-Unit...
I've always been interested in void, but it seems like it would be just a bit too much work to maintain
To maintain no, Just to configure if you install the base version. Void is pretty stable, XBPS is atomic, that is If a operation on pkg fail its not applied.
here's a sample video to show how solidly fluid window refresh is oobe in void linux. it rivals mac osx. no other linux distro comes close to this fluidity, esp with minimal cpu utilization - ua-cam.com/video/H0XfjmnpGpA/v-deo.html
Is it bad that my computer only has 512mb ram?
dtOS void version
The beard made you look youthful
I don't know, this distro seems a little _empty_
Man who develop this distro left project...cus he got personality issue thx others maintain this great distro now
Great distro / runit is much much better and simpler than systemd/ great building tools /independant distro/ stable roling
Alpine is very Void-like but much more professional with genuine security.
I ran void for about a year and I found it to be about as stable as arch (endeavourOS) for me.
I actually don't understand void under the hood been wondering. *Derek and this Derek too busy trading but still in sync as always.*
Distro seems a little lacking in _substance_ if you catch my drift... But in case it becomes very elite and high-status, I will use it, or at least tell people on the internet I do, for the social prestige. 👍
You sound stupid
6:43 "let's create a strong and complicated password" you always repeat that in all your vídeos 😅😅
@n0tjak Really?
@n0tjak So when he says "let's create a strong and complicated password" it's a joke right? 😅😅
@n0tjak Never I think 😅😂
I believe it is "td" so nothing complains its the same as the username
@@DominikZogg Yes.
please make a video on ultramarine pantheon edition plzzzzz
Everyone says how Linux is superior. Then I hear it takes few minutes to restart for some because of systemd. Hands down.
This post may piss a few people off, but there's no such thing as a stable rolling release because it's a moving target, and from time to time you'll miss your target.
I wish this video would not be the FIRST VIDEO of a new user who is thinking to migrate from Windows to Linux. Otherwise... 🙄
