Nice! chroot install with btrfs + encryption. This is all pretty much the gold standard. This video will be referenced for years to come. Thanks for making this!

What an absolute beast! I've been wanting to understand not only how to install Void like this, but also to do it with BTRFS! You're always reviewing what I'm thinking! I would likely not have even tried Void if not for your channel!!

I'm glad I could help and I'm glad you gave void a try, it is a great distro, thanks for watching.

Another great video! I always install Void with chroot method and use BTRFS but didn't know much about the encryption. Your channel is always an amazing resource.

Thank you for the first human readable btrfs guide I have ever seen. Personally I have a LVM on luks2 partition besides grub dual boot with windows, so I'm not sure if the luks2 w/ grub issue is just a KVM issue. Cheers to your tutorial!

Glad to do it. I just read that luks2 doesn't like grub, I never tried it, if it works, that's great.

@JakeLinux: not sure if you've covered this in past videos (if so, apologies for redundancy) as i have not seen all your videos (yet) 🙂 two programs that may help/assist void users are: vpm and octoxbps. they are both in the void repos. vpm is like apt/dnf/yay/zypper for easier syntax to use in a terminal than xbps-install/query. the other is: octoxbps which is similar to debian's synaptic or arch octopi; a graphical install manager. appreciations for void coverage and your forthrightness peace ~ cheers

Nice bro , that btrfs stuff really helped void needs like your totorials , could you make one about unified kernel images and secureboot

Thanks, I will look into the kernel and secureboot and see if there is something I can put together

I wish all distros give us the options to manually install like that, as nice as GUI installers are, many of them don't allow easily configuring subvolumes or partitions. I always thought installing Arch was hard, just from what people on the internet made me believe and that kept me away for long, now It's the only method I can appreciate, and this is practically the same. I know Debian has something called Debootstrap, but it's kinda complicated compared to this. Thanks a lot Jake, your channel is one of my favorite channels in the linux world!

@JakeLinux

4 ай бұрын

Thank you very much for the kind words, it means the world to me, truly. The idea that arch is hard to install i think is put out there on purpose, as.lpng as there is good documentation or a good tutorial, manual installs are the way to go and a lot easier than people think.

Just wanted to thank you for help regarding mounting additional hard drives in Void. I was missing elogind package as you wrote, after elogind install and service start I can mount other hard drives under Void.

@JakeLinux

4 ай бұрын

You're very welcome, I'm glad it worked out.

very nice video, void is a pretty good distro, tried it for a while and loved it, still decided to move because of specific apps that you only get in flats or snaps... even tried a bedrock arch layer and it worked, but super bloated because of bedrock, all this to say, maybe in the future, void might become a titan on the linux world

@JakeLinux

4 ай бұрын

I am good either way, as long as it sticks around, but even if void goes away, there are still many other good distros out there.

Last time I had gone through the void docs, I saw they had used LVM with encryption. I was thinking which was better, LVM or btrfs subvolumes

@JakeLinux

4 ай бұрын

I have never used lvm, I was going to do the lvm and just follow the docs but a viewer asked me to do btrfs so that is the direction I went.

Time to follow this in a vm. My AMD Framework has been a little finicky with getting a stable GUI running. Mint, just fine but boring. Gentoo, everything worked great but no gui. Artix, worked well until it didn't. I spent enough time troubleshooting and hopped again. NixOS seems to be the answer as of now. But the boot process seems to take a hot minute. And wayland hasn't been too stable recently. I hope once I migrate my config to a flake I will have all the issues addressed. If not, I may have to hop again. Void was my least favorite of the more manual distros. But I didn't hate it, if that makes sense.

nice video but i would like to show how to install a desktop and set up automount and .xsession... hope to see them in the next video... p.s i do not like btrfs and modernday trends...

how much does the / directory weigh? df -h ?

its kinda different than arch, i wanna try but in a more simple way, no luks and no btrfs, just ext4 or xfs, for fast install i just wanna try things before delete arch and install void on real machine

Could you do another videos similar to this one using zfs on root with encryption?

@JakeLinux

4 ай бұрын

Let me look into it, I have never used zfs.

Everything seemed to work out fine for me but now when I land land into my account (still without desktop environment) I can’t connect to my WiFi. Even tho it lists my home network, I can’t seem to connect to it. I asked chatgpt as well and it told me to do „dhclient" but I don’t have that installed yet. I would appreciate it a lot if someone could help troubleshoot that issue

@JakeLinux

Run ls on the /etc/sv directory, you should have wpa_supplicant. Enable that and set up wifi through there, then install the package you prefer to to use for wifi.

How to create a distro through void? Just need to change the name, desktop environment and etc.

Just use void-mklive to create your own void "distro".

Those are dump flag and fsck order, those can actually be set to 0 0 on most systems, they have to do with backup and file system check at startup. Just old habits to set them, you could use 0 0 and be just fine.
