Am I about to fall for a meme?

about as much of a meme as arch, actually slightly less because it has an installer
so maybe

Yes. And I assume you fell for many memes already if you're considering Void. Unlearn C, sell your Thinkpad and reinstall Windows. Live a happier life.

No. It's a great distro. It is still in its infancy but it has a lot of potential.

Arch is easy. I can tell you've never installed FreeBSD or compiled Gentoo or you wouldn't say Arch is hard.

What is the appeal of Void Linux anyway?

Luke Smith is a faggot, should I do as he does?

Who the fuck is Luke Smith?

>What is the appeal of Void Linux anyway?
It's stable, easy to configure. It is the 'purest' Linux experience as most packages are kept as vanilla as possible and all configuration is done via config files. It's also very light.

Some autistic frog poster from Sup Forums that posts his questionable i3 rices on Youtube.

I know Luke lurks here: install Gentoo already.

>stable

>config files
Wow, sounds just like Arch, except the config files part. Not sure what you newsom by that.

>the purest linux experience
Anyway, the fact that it has no systemd by default, it's very minimalistic and at the same time not demonizing necessary nonfree firmware makes it a compelling choice. I too was skeptical at first, but I have to admit that it works pretty well. The only real downside I can think of is that there are still too few packages as of now.

Anything I've ever needed was in the repo.

If a package you want isn't, consider contributing. :)

It's nothing like Arch. lol

they didn't say Arch was hard to install, they just said it doesn't have an installer which is true.

How is it different from Arch then? Other than the screenfetch logo and the different buildpkg system.

They?
Installers are slow. Arch has 3rd party installer script for people that want that for whatever reason.

It has already been said.
>no systemd

No systemd, for one. It also gives you the option to use musl instead of glibc. It's also community-oriented and minimal, unlike Arch.

In the words of an Arch developer:
>Arch has *never* been minimalist... a Linux kernel with every module
available and every feature enabled at least when there's no non-bloat
related cost, feature-packed/complex GNU tools, nearly all optional
features enabled across all the packages, etc.

>Arch is the opposite of a distribution with lots of user freedom.

You are the installer

Nice so Arch minus systemd, minus AUR, and a trimmed down kernel.

You could have just said so if you knew what you were talking about.

Whats the difference between running an installer and running pacstrap?

You forgot musl.

No, it's a nice distro, similiar to arch without a few of its problems.

I want to kill that guy.

Why, because he's more successful than you?

>They?
You're not supposed to assume the gender of an individual here.

If you think that's being successful, not even 10k subs.

Runit is its biggest asset. Best init that I've used.

>implying he doesn't have a life outside imageboard/linux memery.

If by meme you mean the best linux distro to come so far, then yes

Alright boiiz, you have convinced me, off the VM I am.

I'm going to follow your steps.

Also, how well does void on a laptop and as a "dev" environment? (I'm just learning C/++) and maybe some electronics stuff in the future.

I'd say pretty good. A tiling wm woud be ideal

Note: I use a T430.

Yeah, I was planning to use i3gaps and git gud with it.

Gentoo let's you choose whatever C libraries you want.

gentoo is fucking awful

>most flexible and configurable package manager in existence

>awful

Void is fucking awful.

how do I benefit from locally building ghc?
protip: it's just wasting my time

>can't spell "environment"

>actually using Haskell
Wew

>using the wrong "its"

The point of compiling it, other than knowing it comes from the source code, is to be able to easily use your own compile flags or easily modify your own system.

>not knowing 'it's' is possessive
Boy, you sure schooled him, retard

Pathetic

"It's" is not possessive.

in this case I'd rather get a binary package compiled with sane defaults
in fact the list of software that I actually want to customize with compile-time stuff is very small (aka the kernel and some network daemons)

Then don't use Gentoo. It's for people that like old-school source-based software distribution or want to use their own compile flags so that their system actually uses their CPUs to their full potential.

Wrong again, retard.

Hello there ESL.

>21st century NEWSPEAK English
Sorry you just learned English in some college classroom Paco. The English in actual literature has it's.

It's being used for possession went out of style like 300 years ago. The vast majority of English literature uses its for possession.

>went out of style
>being a fad fag
So like, do you buy the revised Bibles too?

Nobody speaks Shakespeare English. It's an extremely different language.

>mfw never had trouble understanding Shakespeare
Brainlet.

You're not typing it. You're typing the Newspeak version.

>bein dis buttblasted
lol kys famalam.

You're using slackbuilds.org and sbopkg, right? There's only been a few packages I've needed that haven't been in there. Fortunately, creating a slackbuild script yourself is very easy.
