Getting there! Updated and patched to dwm 6.8, on Void. And since spring is coming I decided to go for that good ol' murky foliage kind of stuff 😜
#archlabs #dwm #voidlinux

Got home early today. Of course I had to geek out 🤣 KDE is under the bus, so I reached for VoidLinux (to add dwl to it later). And hey, other distro's: look at their documentation. Can be brief, but It Just Works. Diligently followed the disk encryption setup, very well written and laid out. A pleasure, I love runit.And VoidLinux, another great distribution.

Was randomly browsing and it occurred to me when I saw mention of #VoidLinux that since it offers a #musl flavor and not fork, it actually technically is Void #Linux without the #GNU bit if you choo6to use a musl-based version? Interesting!
Here's a little chatty video where I show off my current experimentation with the XFCE desktop environment.
Video length is about four and a half minutes.
I removed some of the panels and panel items. Replace the menu with Rofi launcher. Added tiling features to XFCE with the 'coretile' program.

Hi friends, I could use your input!
My mom has asked me to install Linux on her laptop, which distro should I pick?
- Dell Latitude 7320 Intel Core i7-Gen 11 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
- Has to be stable, good hardware support
- Sysadmin tasks will be performed (remotely) by me, so doesn't have to be "beginner friendly" per se in that area (she won't be added to the wheel group 😅)
- Support for Xfce desktop (I guess most distros have that)
- Ideally support for encrypted root on ZFS
No: Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL (or derivatives) please.
Given my recent fascination, I'd go with FreeBSD, but I'm afraid the hardware support isn't quite there yet. Voting and boosts are appreciated!
What should I pick?
#Linux #LaptopLinux #Poll #Debian #VoidLinux #AlpineLinux #ArchLinux
Options: (choose one or more)
New blog post!
I've only used it for a few weeks, however I've quickly come to ❤️ Void Linux.
I show the choices I make to create an encrypted Root-On-ZFS minimal Linux system with "just enough" to provide a solid foundation to build upon further: whether that be setting up a desktop, laptop, or server.
