Why aren't you using the best distro /g/

You need a wired connection to get WiFi on install. Paaaaathetic.

no systemd

Lack of packages.

I know xbps is a good package manager and it is easy to build your own, I just don't have time to be the package maintainer for the software I use.

I use Debian because literally everything comes as a .deb

I'm thinking about it, OP.
I want to use Nix package manager, but Nix OS runs on systemd. Would void make for a neat base system to install nix packagae manager onto?
I'm basically looking for a solid system which doesn't run on systemd.

>>60386291
So?

>>60386669
God, I typed nixos on my browser's url bar and it threw me to nixos.com. I don't think this is the OS I'm looking for.

>>60386705
Indeed. You want http://nixos.org/

I've got NixOS on one of my machines, and it's quite difficult to get the hang of. I still have a lot of issues such as icons not showing up in my graphical programs. It's been tough to get help and I've had to report several bugs to github so far, although at least one of the times it ended up being a weird configuration thing, not a real bug. I'm actually thinking of putting Void on the machine I currently have NixOS on, but I've still got to learn a bit more about it.

>>60386741
what shell is it by default?

>>60386741
Yes you can, faggot

>>60386831
Why would you want to use NixOS for just a single machine? Am I missing something?

I thought the entire point was being able to deploy customised images across multiple machines easily without the setup hassle.

you can set root user shell to bash with chsh -s /bin/bash, wew.

/bin/sh is dash (by default) because that's for scripts and all of the scripts Void provides are POSIX compliant.

>>60385765
stop promoting void on this meme board. The forum is already flooding with retarded arch expats.

When systemD takes over all GNU/Linux systems in the future, we`re going to find ourselves in another large-scale cyber attack caused by a systemD flaw, that by that point it will overly dominated by RedHat and even MS developers as the main contributor base.
systemD-less distros and LFS must be preserved in other to keep the safety of GNUnix systems. Print this and watch it happen.

I have Void MATE running on my T420 and Void with i3wm on my Libreboot X60.

Get on my level faggots.

>>60386669
I have been thinking about this approach as well. It seems like it should work. I have installed void on a t60 and like it so far, haven't got into the nix stuff yet. Still need to learn how to use it for haskell/docker builds.

Better stop using the linux kernel as redhat is a big contributor.
Contribute if you don't like the current situation, things won't change by only projecting yourself on a chinese cartoons imageboard.

>systemD-less distros and LFS must be preserved in other to keep the safety of GNUnix systems
If you hate systemd that much, you should shill for alternatives instead of warning us about some impossible things that won't happen.
>inb4 eudev sysv or any other init system
Systemd does a lot more, I don't care a bunch of init scripts, tell me how I can manage services, containers, log script, backups, mount and many more in a modern way without having to use the whole systemd block.

I don't have anything against systemd in particular. I've used distros with it without issue before. However I got rather frustrated trying to setup a script to run on boot as it was annoyingly difficult to do (creating a unit etc.).

I think systemd would be much more palatable if only it had a file where we could specify scripts to run on boot by default like rc.local or FreeBSD's rc.conf.

I like FreeBSD much more and really like the simplicity of bsdinit compared to systemd, and systemd does fill in a lot of functionality gaps for Linux systems but there's a lot they could do to make it better.

It's kinda pointless for that as well as there are existing open source tools that do that anyway, and in any situation you're doing that in you're probably using centos, Debian, or rhel anyway.

I'll give it a shot on this week.

>>60394014
I've heard a lot about it but haven't used it very much. The rationale is that all versions of every package continue to exist in an immutable way and it's possible to have multiple versions of the same package.

This solves the problem you might see on a debian system where all your packages depend on a certain library but some new software you want to build needs a newer version, and you can't have both at once on one system.

The thing I feel iffy about nix is it uses it's own config language for packages, for example you config some apache-httpd.nix file or someting.

NixOS (which uses systemd) afaik tries to configure your entire system this way. Seems like it would be handy for reproducing an environment on several remote servers.
