  • I don’t know what it’s mean by too much maintenance but for now I understood that the first effort to setup a system we want is all the effort. Then everything flows like a stream.

    Maybe future updates or upgrades require user level configurations but I don’t think thats too a big issue.

    Btw, I too heard about NixOS but as you said about Void, NixOS is not for me too. How is your experience there? It is more like an immutable distro right?



  • Nice to know.

    Actually, don’t know why but I got a satisfaction of achieving something big with Void. Usually no matter which distro, fedora, debian, opensuse, arch, etc… I always get a urge to switch between them.

    But Void doesn’t give such an urge, maybe the reason is my 3 failures to try to install it and 4th one was almost successful. But after getting know more again I required to reinstall entire repo. No everything is rock-solid and user friendly. Void + runit + KDE + No extra bloats.

    Highlight : The official free and non-free repo only contains apps that matters and no extra gui app store, fonts, themes, etc.

    (The only reason for previous failures is me who was lazy to read everything in manual and listen full youtube guides)
