#void linux

I love trying to compile something manually and always getting an error that takes forever to debug.

God why is it so hard to keep the government out of your tech. System-d is introducing age verification, making a ton of Linux distros comply with authoritarian age verification laws.

But I hear you say, @fangsroyale that’s just to save the children yadayada.

No it is not, no government introducing these kind of draconian laws is caring about kids or many more pdf’s in the Epstein files would have been arrested.

While it seems harmless at first, this is just the first step to a future where even with Linux you’re gonna need to verify with your id card before using your computer. Linking everything you do or search to you, making you a honeypot target for hackers and meaning the end of anonymity or privacy.

I had just gotten used to using Fedora KDE, now im going to have to switch to a project that does have a spine. Thinking of using void Linux or Devuan.

You shouldn’t have to be a tech expert to have basic human privacy but it appears I have to.

My first config for @kali-official's layfetch! I had a lot of fun fiddling around with it. My setup is very similar to the default config at the moment, but I expect that to change as I get more comfortable with the json format.

For posterity, my dotfiles are in this repo. The biggest changes are the new logo (i <3< void), flag palette splitting (extensible to however many flags), and message of the day randomizing based on an included file. I also remade the estrogen day counter, which is strangely absent from the default layout.json.

I really like this tool! The tiling just looks so nice. I can't believe nobody'd done this before. I'll probably mess around with this a little more in the near future; I want to try making my own layout fully from scratch.

Oh no I'm thinking about switching to void linux. And I've never used that pack manager before. Surely if I'm very careful and follow one of the void+KDE guides good things will happen right?

is it normal that flatpak software just doesn't work on void linux or did i fuck something up?

[alolanmon]

Since SystemD has some age verification bullshit (Source), which distro do you prefer without one, from Arch perspective? Both distros below have its own easy installer btw.
