This distro is amazing, now i see why people kept complaining about systemd, it boots up twice as fast than my Arch box. Also i3-gaps by default in the repos, amazing really. The only downside that i see is that you don't have access to AUR.

What happens when a package lists systemd as a dependency?

systemd is indeed very slow. I don't want to start backing shit up otherwise i would totally install Void.
>>57498070
You can't install it.

>>57498070
Well i have installed everything i needed and all the packages are ported to runit instead of systemd. no problems so far and less bugs than on arch linux. also installed bumblebee and nvidia drivers with no problems (im on a laptop). Some things like xbacklight worked here out of the box instead of arch that i had to find a way to change backlight writing values to the device...
>>
>>57498161
by the way, some of the aur packages work if you get them from github and adapt them if they use systemd. otherwise they run out of the box.

osx is for noobs :)
>>
>>57500357
that looks like poop
>>
Its repos are smaller than debian or fedora`s though.
>>
>>57500441
yeah, but all the packages on debian and fedora are built with systemd in mind :X
>>
let's not forget that void linux also uses libressl!
>>
>>57498161
>less bugs on arch linux
How many bugs did your arch have?

What makes Void better than Arch?

>it boots up twice as fast than my Arch box

why do children still think boot times are "relevant" but also in any way a reliable factor of performance?

How much does it hurt you to wait for your screen to come up 20s later in a world where 90% power cycle their computers once a day?
>>
>>57498017
I never heard of it but it sounds gay.
>>
>>57500541
the arch children updated their kernels hourly with new placebo patches
>>
>>57500531
well i got a weird bug using mv and dd copying large amounts of data, cpu started going high until i got even lag on the ui and terminals. then the data i copied was corrupted. it was one of the reasons i uninstalled it.
>>
No joke, void was actually my very first experience with linux, in a VM. I wasnt able to do anything but I felt like it was really cool.
void has much more software available through its xbps-src than its binary packages, right?
I consider trying it again.
>>
>>57500594
idk, i just tried the binary packages, everything works fine so far (two days running only but i didnt find any problem). i like runit a lot more than systemd also, maybe its personal preference but i like that is minimal and fast.

How slow?
I'm using SystemD and it takes 40 sec to boot from grub, and I'm on HDD as well.

TH-THANK YOU BASED LENNART-SAMA
STILL WAITING FOR THE KERNEL
>>
>>57500684
It's the systemd distros which actually belong there though.
>>
>>57500764
Wait, what? Systemd will assimilate the Linux kernel?

its a meme that one day systemd will be so bloated that it will write its own kernel
>>
>>57500782
yes

prepare for systemd/Linux or as I've been calling it recently systemd+Linux
>>
>>57498017
Void is not the only distro that doesn't use systemd. There's also Gentoo and Slackware, for starters. Void doesn't bring anything new to the table.

Also, for consideration of systemd users: http://judecnelson.blogspot.com/2014/09/systemd-biggest-fallacies.html?_escaped_fragment_=#!

Arch just sucks.
This is how fast systemd boots.

yes the boot time is important. doesn't matter that systemd goes against unix philosophy, that guarantees security, stability, interchangability. it doesn't matter that he works for redhat which is openly sponsored by cia niggers.
>>
>>57501285
UNIX doesn't guarantee any of those things.
Also it really doesn't matter if it follows UNIX.
>>
Also the UNIX meme in general can fuck off, its a proprietary standard made for proprietary software to guarantee compatibility with a bunch of proprietary UNIX.
