Justine Smithies @lemmy.world Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother & Wife Loves cooking Linux & BSD Tech geek Mobiles: Fairphone4 OnePlus6T OnePlus6 PinePhonePro Watch PineTime ThinkPad owner Daily driver - Chimera Linux , RiverWM and Eww as my bar with fully encrypted ZFS and encrypted swap partition Homelab: FreeBSD
Same as a Chimera Linux user I'd definitely recommend trying it. I was a Void user beforee and was Swithering whether to go full BSD when I stumbled across Chimera which gives me the best of both worlds.
I was a serious Arch user for 10+ years when I finally decided to give Void a go on an old laptop. Needless to say Iloved it so much that it is now my daily driver. I even had a blip for a month where I thought I missed Arch but nope I just came running back home to Void. Give it a try you won't be disappointed also take a read of this blog Unmasking the hidden gems of Void Linux
Have a read of the docs at the zathura git repo or use the man pages.

To get neofetch to display river and not sway make sure that you have either lsof or fuser packages installed and it should display river then.
See lines 1902-1903 from this link.
OK I've only come across the command in the example twice whilst looking.
And here where they say it does work ?

ZFS Swap on Linux
One for those running #ZFS on #Linux systems. I realise that you can't have hibernate aka suspend to disk on a swap in the encrypted zpool but if you don't use hibernation then is it OK to use swap using the likes of the command example below to set it up in the encrypted pool?
I should point out that I'm thinking of switching from my current Void Linux luks lvm setup to Void with fully encrypted zpool and zfsbootmenu on my ThinkPad P14s AMD Gen 1which has 16Gb ram that I may upgrade to 40Gb. It also has a 1Tb nvme.
zfs create -V "${v_swap_size}G" -b "$(getconf PAGESIZE)" -o compression=zle -o logbias=throughput -o sync=always -o primarycache=metadata -o secondarycache=none -o com.sun:auto-snapshot=false "$v_rpool_name/swap"

Qtile 0.23.0 has been released. Head over to their changelog for all the important changes and bug fixes.
Thank you and glad they're of use to you.
Nope reduced it down to 10k and still the same but thanks anyway.
Can't update user avatar
I have just tried to change my user avatar from my browser and no matter what image format I try to use be it png or jpg it quickly flashes up some json error. I cannot even change it from the Android app.
Or if you're running Qtile under Wayland then Qtile is the compositor too. My dotfiles and a screenshot are here to show what's possible.
Have a look at the qtile docs here. https://docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/install/index.html#id1
You can find out how to install Qtile using pip on the README of my dotfiles link posted above.
Yes if you run Qtile with X but not yet under Wayland but that is under discussion by the devs as well as other features.
Void Linux running the latest Qtile git repo
Not perfect but it's mine. Dotfiles can be found here. https://codeberg.org/JustineSmithies/qtile-wayland-dotfiles
Void Linux user here with Qtile - Wayland as my WM.
I'm liking the diy PC case. What's inside if you don't mind me asking ?
Thank you and tbh I haven't attempted to run hyprland on void as I used to run it on arch as my daily. Since switching to void I haven't really looked back and don't feel the need for all the bells and whistles.
My current Void Linux setup
It's not much but it's mine.

You could use swayidle and add a line to use either light or brightnessctl to dim and restore the brightness. Or just as I do turn off display after a certain time. This link should give you an idea. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sway#Idle
You can either put the sha that you want in the download url:
https://github.com/{username}/{projectname}/archive/{sha}.zip
Or you do it via the github website and click on a commit at the right and then click the two <> which will load that specific commit and click on the download zip file button ( code button ).

Void Linux custom /etc/issue file
Got bored and made a custom /etc/issue file for my Void Linux machines. It displays a colour Void Linux logo along with kernel version, tty number and date on login. The file is here just copy it to /etc/issue or you can preview it using agetty.
Feel free to change it to suit.
Goodbye Reddit
That's me deleted my Reddit account along with all data as I do not agree with recent events that have been taking place. I'm going to concentrate on Mastodon , Lemmy and take a look at Kbin .
Why do some communities on other instances not appear in a search ?
I've recently joined lemmy.world and have started searching and subscribing to various communities some are on lemmy.ml but when I search for voidlinux it returns nothing.? Yet I know it exists on lemmy.ml and I can see other communities on there such as Linux. 🤔
