Compared to Arch the packages in Void aren't the newest aka it's not a "bleeding edge" distro so by it's nature it's generally considered to be more stable. They even call themselves the Stable Rolling Release.

Then again compared to Arch, there is no Arch User Repository, but there is XBPS-src which is package builder which can build packages from other popular distros like Debian or Fedora with their .deb and .rpm files. They are sandboxed by default and require no root and. You can build packages yourself and there are also a lot of templates in XBPS-src.

Speaking XBPS, that is Void's very own package manager I believe it stands for eXtreme Binary Package System. It's also completely original to Void. It's a smart, versatile and very fast (second only to Pacman I think) tool.

Unlike Arch. Void doesn't use the nowadays standart SystemD Init system and instead uses Runit which is compared to SystemD more minimalistic, pretty simple to understand and overall faster Init system. Where everything is accomplished by linking form /etc/sv/ to /var/service/ with "ln - s".

Void also supports the C libraries. The standart GNU libc (glibc) and musl. Glibc with support for more software and musl generally considered to be more secure. Also in my humble opinion glibc Void is great for desktop systems and musl Void is good choice for headless home server.

Lastly just like Arch it's a minimalist distro so you can have way more control over system without too much headache and can pretty easily replace packages like sudo with something like opendoas.

I think Void one of the best Linux distros. I'm going to shamelessly fanboy it to the end of my days. One major issue for me that the official documentation is always kinda lacking for and I have to experiment. But yeah there you have it. Hope I didn't bore ya.

Thx I appreciate the input. I have already a lot of things set up on the server and switching now would be painful and time consuming. I also use docker in conjunction with kvm-qemu and had I known about proxmox a month ago I would not have construct it at such but alas. I will however in the future get another hardware which I will use as a home server and I will definitely give proxmox a shot.

Unrealted but Alpine Linux is based af!

Well I already got static IP from my ISP and configured Wireguard on my directly on my router so I think I'm good.

This statement sums it up for me; "The PSP can execute system workloads as well as workloads provided by trusted third parties. - AMD"

Its just a nice thing to have for me, not like a hard requirement, but I thought since I disabled Intel Management Engine on my Thinkpad a year ago I might as well give PSP a try.

I very much feel you brotha. One of the main things why me and my friends is that the Witcher 1 is one of few classics that have Czech dub. The catch is that it is a horrendously bad one for like 99% of the cast (I don't know what were voice actors smoking during recording). Me and my friends always laugh for at least 80% of the dialog in the game. It's absolutely amazing. Also same thing with Gothic 1 for english dub xD

Witcher 1. One of my all time favorites!

Something secure and easy to understand and setup for beginner. The easier the better. I don't mind writing config files if I can understand it.

[–] Octavusss@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Omg thank you very much. I'll definitely look it up.

I mean i have a wireguard on my router but how can I point the domain from my provider like (godaddy) to my server without opening ports?

Usually 10.
