Void Linux
Monday Jun 12 1:13:08 2017
In the past I used to spend hours and hours trying new GNU/Linux
distributions. I also occasionally played with some BSD, Solaris or
any other OSs I could find.
Suddenly, things changed drastically since I settled with debian. I am
so used to using it that I do not feel very much attracted to any
other distro.
However, today I heard about Void linux, a relatively new distribution
which is quite different from all the rest:
- It has a different init system (runit)
- It has its own package management system (xbps)
- It is a rolling distribution, no point releases.
Well, I downloaded one of their live systems and I must say it is
worth giving it a try, it works well and it is fast. It also has a
wide variety of desktop environments to choose from.
