The Void (Linux) distribution

Void is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic Linux kernel. Its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection.

This community is a mirror/alternative to !voidlinux@lemmy.ml — created for wider accessibility due to federation issues.

I usually hold off on writing about new software until it’s had some time to prove itself, but this case is a little different. This project has the potential to bring Void Linux a bit closer to a broader audience—and that’s worth talking about.

As you know, Void stands out as one of the most well-known rolling-release distributions that doesn’t use systemd, catering mostly to more experienced Linux users. However, one area that often confuses newcomers is how it handles system services.
