  • I use a Samsung N150P, bought it quite cheap, most of my use in it is for studying and college, hence it’s a small and inexpensive machine.

    BPI-M5 is a single board computer like Raspberry Pi, I’ve choosen OpenBSD due to its focus in security, documentation and also i want to try it in a desktop bare metal test machine(which is the one im currently using Void). I looked into FreeBSD too and it seems quite cool, ZFS, jails, good documentation and community too. Btw, I tried NomadBSD in a usb stick but it failed to build and kinda trashed the stick, I can’t write over it now lol( still don’t know if its repairable), will try with another stick soon.





  • • ISO’s for many systems (x86_64, i686, arm) • Base images for highly customizable experience •Good for old or “weak” machines, due to its capability to be a light OS •5 minute friendly installer for a non GUI one •Good documentation with a handbook •Engaged comunnity in different plataforms(like Reddit, lemmy, IRC) •Rolling release but not bleeding edge, packages and updates verified before releasing. Void focus in stability. •xbps (x binary packages systems) for managing packages, which is quite easy to use •runit (or systemd free) •easy services management •really fast booting •Original not based or dependand

    That’s what got me into Void. I have It in 64bit and 32bit old laptops. The 32bit it’s a daily driver for college which i enjoy very much due to it being small, inexpensive and “agile” in its own way.

    There’s a lot of features that i didn’t explored yet for lack of knowledge or need like disk encryption, ZFS via chroot, musl, arm installs or server usage. Void is great, i’m really thanked for everyone who works in it.

    Wow, amazing. Definetely a light theme that i would use. Really aestethic and cohesive. Maybe Will try to reach something like It someday.

    Btw, i have a N150P too i run Void with i3wm+i3blocks+rofi. Love the small machines, i use It to college works and study in general. It still has a battery that holds about 2 hours of reading or text editing.
