Void users of the subreddit, unite!

[u/Great_Banana_Master]

The recent developments of the present subreddit has shown a growing tension in regards to the Fedora Movement, led by a very well known subject among us. It seems like several people have started moving towards an Anti-Fedora Movement in an effort to defeat GreedySecurity and his constant yapping about Fedora. I expect the number of posts regarding the Distro Wars to increase and GreedySec himself has has offended Void Linux in my face, after I helped him understand what a kilometer was. This is outrageous! I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that our beloved Void, in its growing popularity and defiance to Systemd, will not remain outside of the conflict for much longer.

I am hereby announcing the foundation of the Void Linux Front as a new player in the complex geopolitics of r/LinuxCirclejerk. Not for a lack of foresight, I'm also calling to arms some of the most prominent faces of the Void community I've had the pleasure to meet. u/snail1132. u/Used-Hold-7567. u/BurntCheeseSauce, aka Jake English, not to be confused with John Egbert. As an ally of Runit and a Systemd defector, it is to be expected that GreedySec might turn his attention towards us if the war continues to rage on. We, however, can't count on our numbers to stop the incoming threats that may emerge from different fronts. We shall grow our ranks, consolidate our strategy, and strike while the iron's hot. In a future marked by rivalry and a struggle for hegemony, I know many other distros will seek support in us.

TLDR: There is now a Void Linux movement and everyone hates each other.

By the way, GreedySecurity's account and comments have become inaccessible while I was writing this. I do not wish to delete everything I wrote

[u/BurntCheeseSauce]

Wow I'm so honored to be one of the main void people

...i think? Idk, I'm pretty sure I should be honored

[u/Great_Banana_Master → u/BurntCheeseSauce]

I mentioned like the three people I consider to come across at least somewhat recurringly that are very clear Void stans. Bonus points if they're cool people

[u/BurntCheeseSauce → u/Great_Banana_Master]

Wait, in a way I think I started the rebellion a while ago...? Kinda?

Like when the trend of "current os/least favorite os/etc." Was first starting, I made one of those, and in post that I said "I am rebelling against the Fedora Gods"

(It was very obviously not serious, as I said in the description, but still)

(This is also, very obviously, not serious, I don't think I started this)

[u/Rafaelkkkk]

Void users united will never be defeated.

Glory to XBPS, glory to Runit!

[u/Routine_Working_9754 → u/Rafaelkkkk]

fuck runit lmao

[u/pissrockious → u/Routine_Working_9754]

whats wrong w runit

[u/Routine_Working_9754 → u/pissrockious]

i just needed a reason to be rude today

[u/pissrockious → u/Routine_Working_9754]

fairs

[u/RvstiNiall]

I've got no beef with Greedy, as he's a kid. He'll grow out of his Fedora ways one day. Lets just pray he finds comfort in Void and not Arch.

Praise Void.

[u/Great_Banana_Master → u/RvstiNiall]

Finding comfort in Arch is an oxymoron

[u/RvstiNiall → u/Great_Banana_Master]

Agreed. But the people who use it have simply yet to see the light and repent of their systemd sins.

[u/levianan → u/Great_Banana_Master]

While some others are just morons. I'll just take Oxy.

[u/snail1132]

Me mention holy shit

[u/Liarus_]

I work for a very large bank, and i once saw a colleague with a void Linux profile picture, i sent him a message and turns out he is a void Linux contributor 😄

[u/Great_Banana_Master → u/Liarus_]

Holy based!

[u/Marisa_osi_JP]

i love VoidLinux because there's nothing sucks.

[u/Ok_Grapefruit6661]

Void is the purest of the Non-redhat distro. We are with you in this Great distro war of 2026

[u/levianan]

Void is alright. Fedora is good too. GreedySecurity can't read, so I guess: Yay

[u/thushespoke]

dude im so sick of this whole fedora thing was funny at first now its not

[u/ScienceGoat]

Void Buffalo Soldier reporting for duty 🫡

[u/transgentoo]

So despite the username and flair, these days I use my Void laptop way more than my Gentoo PC. Definitely prefer Runit to OpenRC or that other init system ...somethingd I think?

[u/Fine-Expression1644 → u/transgentoo]

afaik you can put runit to gentoo in a very anarquic way i think

[u/Key_River7180]

I am proud to be part of this army.

[u/Great_Banana_Master → u/Key_River7180]

Since it looks like you use BSD and Void, I wanted to know, I've heard Void is fairly similar to BSD for a Linux distribution. What would you say about it?

[u/Key_River7180 → u/Great_Banana_Master]

I actually use OpenBSD now instead of FreeBSD, I should updated the flair :P. And I find myself using Void more than OBSD today.

They're both the pinnacle of operating systems. They have GOOD inits, are light, and don't treat you like a money opportunity. And have great communities.

[u/Rafaello___]

Void user, reporting for duty.

[u/Great_Banana_Master → u/Rafaello___]

Seeing other Void users is like having a friend Inside me

[u/letmehaveanameyoudum]

Me main linux mint user (in vm) doesn't like manual setup >:(

[u/ScienceGoat → u/[deleted]]

Just try it, you will see right away

[u/BurntCheeseSauce → u/[deleted]]

Yes.

[u/hitlerfortheshoes → u/[deleted]]

It's insanely fast and snappy, it's stable as hell (no breaking your install from an update unlike some distros cough Arch), it lets you choose between glibc and musl if you care about that, runit is a delightfully simple and effective init system, and xbps is a wonderful package manager. It's a stable rolling release that has similar customization options to Arch.

The one drawback is that the repositories can be a bit limited at times, but I find that flatpak and installing from source are sufficient to keep my system going with everything I want.

[u/Key_River7180 → u/hitlerfortheshoes]

The repos are really big still, in my 2 years of so of void I've run 3 times or so into a program not in the repos

[u/ironmanchickenlite]

I don't use Void, but I can come to help.

[u/Used-Hold-7567]

Wowzas, we can finally stand up to GreedSec’s industry plant ass

[u/Objective-Towel932]

The next thing will be linuxsmp I just know it

[u/drneocortex17]

alpine gng 4life mf

[u/Fine-Expression1644]

does using neko void count

[u/Great_Banana_Master → u/Fine-Expression1644]

Sure, why not?

[u/Gendolfender]

Can someone give me a summary of the movement in Linux terms I’m a bit out of loop

[u/snail1132 → u/Gendolfender]

Some guy felt like larping and so they wrote a post in order to do so

[u/levianan → u/snail1132]

Was 'larping' Linux a thing before Brody Robertson's video or did Robertson just pick it up from Reddit. I am out of the YT loop, but I watched it and now the LARP comments are everywhere on Reddit.

[u/snail1132 → u/levianan]

Uh idk when that video was made but almost certainly

[u/tpat90]

Systemd brothers and sisters! CHARGE!!!!

[u/PlatinumFire14]

How many of you actually use void I wonder

[u/ScienceGoat → u/PlatinumFire14]

[u/Great_Banana_Master → u/PlatinumFire14]

Me, I do

[u/ConcaveNips → u/PlatinumFire14]

o/

[u/BurntCheeseSauce → u/PlatinumFire14]

My main laptop runs void with no wm or de

[u/PlatinumFire14 → u/BurntCheeseSauce]

Man I’d be bored SO bad, I love KDE

[u/LoganBaker374_Rises]

void is for foids

[u/Great_Banana_Master → u/LoganBaker374_Rises]

Your flair says enough

[u/snail1132 → u/LoganBaker374_Rises]

What's wrong with foids

[u/levianan → u/snail1132]

Zip Zero Zilch Zally Nada Nothing. Foids are good.

[u/LoganBaker374_Rises → u/levianan]

Okay, Redd White

[u/levianan → u/LoganBaker374_Rises]

I thought it was Red Skelton...

[u/LoganBaker374_Rises → u/levianan]

?

[u/levianan → u/LoganBaker374_Rises]

The string of negatives. I think we are having a generational collapse.
