Hi all, wondering if anyone can bring me up to speed on whether GNOME is going to be removed from the Void repos due to its hard dependency on systemd since GNOME 49. Thanks.
I’ve been using Arch for 381 days and never actually broke my system—just a few packages or software issues here and there. Recently, MongoDB stopped working and I also had some minor issues with Hyprland. Now I care more about stability and saving time, so I’m thinking of switching to Void for a minimal and stable setup. What do you think?
I got into Linux a few months ago, did a lot of distrohopping, experimenting and research.
After ditching windows and daily driving first mint later Ubuntu for a few months i decided that i wanted 100% system control and customization to my hearts desire. After a lot of research i picked void and used it together with gnome for about a month while customizing Niri Window Compositor alongside.
When i finally removed gnome it turned out it was basically holding my system together.
My system services like network manager, dbus, seatd … are working again, however i have problems with user session services like pipewire, wireplumber, xdg-desktop-portal, … . At first i started them through the Niri config with spawn-at-startup. However this did not work reliably as audio would sometimes work and randomly not work again after boot.
Currently I am trying to set it up through turnstile but the void documentation hasn’t been very helpful.
What is the "best" way to do it?
Im having some trouble with flatpak apps. I tried to install librewolf with flatpak but that gives me an error when trying to have more than one window open. I also tried to install equibop (discord client) with flatpak but that doesnt open at all. does anyone know what's going on? I followed the instructions to install flatpak from flathub.org
I've noticed some mild screen tearing. I'm on an AX17 pro with i3wm as my DE. If more info is needed just ask. I'm not sure what all I would need to provide. Either way, is there a way to fix it or will I just have to put up with it?
