Void Linux thread

You chose possibly the worst distro (after Gentoo and Arch of course) with the worst package manager on the planet. xbps sucks monkey balls.

>>60249260
Maybe, but definitely not a faggot thread

Go install a theme you like

>>60251926
how? themes don't appear in a built-in appearance menu nor icons, is there a working alternative like LXAppearance or something? And I know how to compile, but not in this shite.

>>60252346
Nigger, you're using XFCE. Put your shit in ~/.icons or ~/.themes. Globally, it should be /usr/share/icons and /usr/share/themes. If that doesn't work, then it will be /usr/local/share/icons or /usr/local/share/themes. This isn't that hard.

I'm not sure what repos you're trying to add, since the only ones I know of are the various official void repos, which can be installed as meta-packages. Learn to use xbps-query.
I'm not really sure what other problems you could have, plain Linux configuration should work without issue, there's no all-encompassing init system that you have to wrestle with, or unorthodox file-hierarchy like a few other distros.

>>60249214
I'm wanting to run a systemd-less system for kicks but you picked honestly the worst. Anyways you can just build all your themes from source.
>Themes/Icons
arc without transparency
papirus icons and select ePapirus
>Tweaks
install xfce4-whiskermenu or add it to panel
tick sync to vblank in compositor settings
set font subpixel rendering to rgb and full hinting

Piggybacking on Void thread for help. What permissions do I need to tinker with so the normal user account can behave like it normally would on other distros? Can't even create files in my own user directory

>>60254089
are you in "wheel" group

once you're in wheel (gives access to su)

man chown

should get you on the right track.

Also: fucking with home directory encryption breaks stuff in Void. I had a similar problem to what you are describing because I used ecryptfs

>>60254089
useradd -G {groups} -m -s {shell} USERNAME
should be all you need to create a functioning user. I don't know what could have happened for a user not to own their home directory, but you can adjust that with chown.

It's great, the best binary package manager I've used, noticeably better than Pacman. The use of multiple binaries for different bits of functionality is a little bit idiosyncratic these days, even on Unix. Queries especially tend to be full of flags too, but that's easily fixed with aliases if it's hard to remember.
