My experience with Void

Tried the Xfce version on a PC that I needed for some browser work only (Discord server moderation). The installation was a bit scary but not too bad.

Then I was greeted by an HDD boot speed comparable to my gaming PC with an NVMe. I still miss that now when the PC is running Arch (btw).

When it comes to issues, I only remember a missing screenshot utility (fixed with 1 command) and fonts (can't remember if I ended up fixing it).

I tried installing a bare system and then installing the best DE (which is GNOME.) but I had to configure Xorg and Wayland myself and uhh I failed miserably. Still wanna do it though.

    i feel the same way since i never built my system from scratch before (i was a linux mint user, so a lil bit spoiled lol).

    that's wild! i was shocked when my old 32 bit laptop became usable again after installing void there.

    which screenshot app did you end up using?
