How has Void linux been treating you? Is it better than other distributions you have tried? I like the idea since it it closer to Unix than some other distributions, and you can do some DIY with it too (I believe there's a guide on compiling using USE flags here too) and the package manager is nice. What do you think?

I use it on 3 machines, all is good. I find myself too comfortable with it to warrant another distro.

I see. I was planning to use it for my desktop alongside a BSD server

I'm using Void in two laptops one x86_64 and other i686, both work very good, i'm in my way to put It on my maing machine too. Void + i3 very sane and produtive to me.

Btw I'm working to put up a server with OpenBSD in a BPI-M5.

Hi, which laptop do you use that is i686?

Also, what is a BPI-M5? And why OpenBSD over FreeBSD?

[–] black_dinamo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I use a Samsung N150P, bought it quite cheap, most of my use in it is for studying and college, hence it's a small and inexpensive machine.

BPI-M5 is a single board computer like Raspberry Pi, I've choosen OpenBSD due to its focus in security, documentation and also i want to try it in a desktop bare metal test machine(which is the one im currently using Void). I looked into FreeBSD too and it seems quite cool, ZFS, jails, good documentation and community too. Btw, I tried NomadBSD in a usb stick but it failed to build and kinda trashed the stick, I can't write over it now lol( still don't know if its repairable), will try with another stick soon.
