Hi all,

The Wednesday, 7/3/2024 GoLUG meeting commences at 7pm Eastern Daylight Time online at meet.jit.si/golug [1].

The past few months the Void Linux distribution has become the subject of curiosity and questions from folks wanting something closer to the metal, folks wanting to shed their training wheels, folks who want a rolling release that doesn't mess you up every few updates, folks curious about the runit init system, for folks looking for a smaller, cleaner musl based Linux, and from folks who just wonder what all the hype is about.

I'm often the recipient of these questions because I've used Void since March 2015. I'll answer all these questions at this online GoLUG meeting. If people want to ask me questions about the runit init system, that's also on topic.

It's important to remember that Void Linux isn't for everyone. Not even for the majority. For some, this presentation helps by showing what Void Linux can do and how to achieve it. For others, it's an early clue that Void's not right for them, so they can spend the time looking at other distros.

I'll save plenty of time to answer questions posed by attendees, so this presentation can serve as a first step in evaluating Void Linux. Hope to see you there.
