    Same as a Chimera Linux user I'd definitely recommend trying it. I was a Void user beforee and was Swithering whether to go full BSD when I stumbled across Chimera which gives me the best of both worlds.

    Stay on Fedora or Switch to Void?
  • JustineSmithies JustineSmithies 6mo ago 90%

    I was a serious Arch user for 10+ years when I finally decided to give Void a go on an old laptop. Needless to say Iloved it so much that it is now my daily driver. I even had a blip for a month where I thought I missed Arch but nope I just came running back home to Void. Give it a try you won't be disappointed also take a read of this blog Unmasking the hidden gems of Void Linux

    To get neofetch to display river and not sway make sure that you have either lsof or fuser packages installed and it should display river then. See lines 1902-1903 from this link.

    ZFS Swap on Linux
  • JustineSmithies JustineSmithies 10mo ago 100%

  • One for those running #ZFS on #Linux systems. I realise that you can't have hibernate aka suspend to disk on a swap in the encrypted zpool but if you don't use hibernation then is it OK to use swap using the likes of the command example below to set it up in the encrypted pool? I should point out that I'm thinking of switching from my current Void Linux luks lvm setup to Void with fully encrypted zpool and zfsbootmenu on my ThinkPad P14s AMD Gen 1which has 16Gb ram that I may upgrade to 40Gb. It also has a 1Tb nvme. zfs create -V "${v_swap_size}G" -b "$(getconf PAGESIZE)" -o compression=zle -o logbias=throughput -o sync=always -o primarycache=metadata -o secondarycache=none -o com.sun:auto-snapshot=false "$v_rpool_name/swap"

    How do you theme a wm like qtile to look good?
  • JustineSmithies JustineSmithies 1y ago 100%

    Or if you're running Qtile under Wayland then Qtile is the compositor too. My dotfiles and a screenshot are here to show what's possible.

    Yes if you run Qtile with X but not yet under Wayland but that is under discussion by the devs as well as other features.

    Thank you and tbh I haven't attempted to run hyprland on void as I used to run it on arch as my daily. Since switching to void I haven't really looked back and don't feel the need for all the bells and whistles.

    [Question] How can I dim screen after 20s inactivity when running on battery? tlp/sway/arch/chromebook
  • JustineSmithies JustineSmithies 1y ago 100%

    You could use swayidle and add a line to use either light or brightnessctl to dim and restore the brightness. Or just as I do turn off display after a certain time. This link should give you an idea. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sway#Idle

  • Got bored and made a custom `/etc/issue` file for my Void Linux machines. It displays a colour Void Linux logo along with kernel version, tty number and date on login. The file is [here](https://paste.sr.ht/~justinesmithies/2b16b8b77d59ca5d7a575e2fb0a8b27887325cb0) just copy it to `/etc/issue` or you can preview it using agetty. Feel free to change it to suit.

    I've recently joined lemmy.world and have started searching and subscribing to various communities some are on lemmy.ml but when I search for voidlinux it returns nothing.? Yet I know it exists on lemmy.ml and I can see other communities on there such as Linux. 🤔
