Who is KittyCatCat0

Hey all! I am KittyCatCat0, previously known as Waluigi0. I am transfem, and my pronouns are She/Her, They/Them! Yes I did go through the Celeste pipeline, deal with it. I am pan, and on the aroace spectrum. I am very obviously a furry, my fursona being a cat, cause I love cats and always will! I love playing games, my favourites being Celeste, Minecraft, and what I am playing for the first time and already loving, OneShot! I love all the arts, but have a soft spot for music! I am a linux nerd and hop from Void, to Arch, or Gentoo every once in a while.

My blog is very prideful, and I am very open about being transgender, as well as being queer. I am also in full support of Palestine. My blog is SFW for the most part, or at least I try to keep it that way! To anyone that doesn't support Palestine, Trans, And queer people, You can screw yourself I don't want you here.

using void linux + gnome on my laptop.

surprised this works as well as it does considering that gnome has a reputation for being hard to use without systemd but elogind seems to do the trick more than well enough

desktop is still using fedora kde tho in part because void doesn't work with secure boot out of the box but also because i do not want to reinstall my OS on my desktop just yet.

I love and enjoy lack of systemd but Void Linux had genuinely ruined my life

Arch got me addicted to AUR

Flatpak servers are too slow for my location

Void has network issues for my chipset sometimes

Starting out with void linux

Hey hey! welcome back. This is my first post that's not an introduction.

So i've been into linux for almost a year, and since then i've learned a lot. But i haven't limited my options to linux only, but also to other unix systems like bsd. When i was browsing r/unix, i saw someone commenting that one should try void linux, because its similar to bsd in a way: its minimalistic, transparent and easy to understand. its very good for those who are willing to start out with linux by learning how it works.

Its main features are the xbps package manager (you cant install programs via source code compiling like in gentoo) and the fact it uses runit as the init system, which (i think) is supposed to be some weird hybrid between systemd and sysvinit.

So yesterday i decided to give a try and made a bootable usb stick. its relatively easy to install. the hardest thing would be you having to know how to partition your system in a way that actually fits your needs, but even that is explained in the official documentation. Wi-fi support works surprisingly good by default, even better than debian.

I started out from nothing and decided to install i3wm in it, but since i had no prior knowledge in twms, i went to the arch wiki (void's official site said you can consult things there) to see how to install and configure it, and i also looked up yt videos. its nice that you can work on a pc with just a keyboard, not needing to use a mouse. reminds me a lot of those old keyboard-only portable computers. they're kinda cute.

As for the programs...i installed xfce's thunar file browser but it was a bit faulty. i couldn't access the trash bin to recover/delete files. i think i should install mate's caja or something? maybe.

Firefox works nice ig, but if you want really basic web browsing, like browsing sites that dont include js, you should try midori or lynx with framebuffer enabled (havent tried this one. only plain lynx on debian's cli). if i want to listen to a song or something i can use smtube and it doesnt consume much resources. a basic libreoffice install works wonderfully!! my 1.3 ghz cpu could handle calc (linux excel) better and without lagging than let's say debian...

So that was all guys. Can't see what the future awaits for me. maybe i should try openbsd/netbsd sometime soon. they interest me a lot. I hope you all enjoyed reading this. stay safe and see you soon!

Void Linux，轻量灵活且独特的Linux操作系统 - 泪雪网

[daemonhxckergrrl]

anyone for some last-minute suggestions ? and yes i'm picking the poll winner (unless tied, then i'll coinflip)

s6 seems cool + interesting + wanna try it out bc it seems to fill in the gaps runit had for me. if u rlly can't go 5 secs w/out tryna start an init war, the tribalism button is 4 u <3

@artix-linux-official @gentoo-official @void-linux-official @arch-official @debian-official figure y'all might have insight or know folks who do

Customized system again!!

You might be surprised to find out this is Mac OS. I love Linux so much but it just does not work well on my m1 Mac, so customization is relatively minimal. I tried my best to replicate my other computers Linux rice which was Void-I3wm-Polybar, but I think this honestly looks better than anything I ever did with that. All software used to do this are open source!

Top Bar: Sketchybar Window Manager: Yabai Operating System: Mac OS Color Scheme: Gruvbox Wallpaper: Gruvbox Wallpaper Terminal: Alacritty I'll post the dot files if enough people ask.

The void has taken up IT security. Denial of service is not a security incident, he says.

[distrochooser]

As the official distrochooser myself, I don't see why not.

You know I talk a lot about installing void to my chromebook, but I can use the SD card to perhaps attempt to install void on my MacBook pro. I'm feeling very violent today and want to cause irreparable harm to this MacBook for being super buggy. It's also my fault for using Ubuntu on this but my dad helped me install Ubuntu on this MacBook and he introduced me to the wonderful world of Linux with it. So what do you think, should I start new and try void?

[naamah-beherit]

System updates that take forever to install always have me squinting suspiciously at the computer, because I just know I'll have to gut insane amounts of new bloatware out of it.

DO GET IT TWISTED. DO NOT FAKE IT. THEY WILL ASSUME YOU MADE IT.
