what i love about void linux is it's simplicity and snappiness. never have i seen any other linux distro yet that mimics the same snappy behavior of void linux. it's desktop/windows/mouse rendering are somehow vsynced out of the box. it's very noticeable esp at high refresh rates. window dragging, even dragging a browser playing 4k60 youtube video is very smooth and does not show any screen tearing... that and with minimal memory and cpu utilization makes me like this OS more.. even more than windows.

The GNU C Library, commonly known as glibc, is the GNU Project's implementation of the C standard library. It is a wrapper around the system calls of the Linux kernel for application use.

Glad you are exploring new Linux distributions. Great video 👍

Mate I just installed Void in my production setup, still use FreeBSD in my spare desktop and OpenBSD in my backup server.
So far it has been a great exp.

Thanks for the enjoyable and informative videos! These must help a ton of users. Since you demo the command line stuff so well, is there any chance of making a video on the pass password manager? It's the standard UNIX password manager (some distros call it password-store), available to all Linuces and is run from the command line. Good if you are not so inclined to use proprietary stuff like Bitwarden, 1password etc, etc. There is also a GUI PC app for pass called QTPass for those who prefer that, as well as various browser extensions for accessing the password-store directly from a browser login page.

Did I miss something? I believe you meant to use the mount point of /boot for the /dev/vda1 partition but you specified / as you did for /dev/vda2. But no harm done because you are not using LVM or encrypting the root partition.

Hey! Just stumbled upon your content. Great work! I love Void Linux so much but I have 0 use case for it. I have it on a VM just to play around with

Thank you for a great video. I also started using Void Linux a few weeks ago. Have you tried octoxbps yet?

Love how you say "clear the terminal" and then you go and simply press Ctrl+L. I could watch your videos for hours. Can't stand watching people writing the "clear" command.
By the way there is a special command to change your shell (or some other user's shell if you are root), "chsh". I change my root's shell to simply /bin/sh (from bash which is the default in Debian). I don't want the root account to have access to any fancy shell, just the basic unix shell. Just to be on the safe side.

How to connect wifi for installation voidlinux

The second most annoying distro after Arch. I won't bother with distros that don't give you a choice in how you choose to install it: The easy way and the hard way i.e. custom install. Void can't even do a guided partition you yourself HAVE to do it and this is important Void is not about choice, they force you to do the installation like it is 1993.
