The Void (Linux) distribution

Void is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic Linux kernel. Its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection.

This community is a mirror/alternative to !voidlinux@lemmy.ml — created for wider accessibility due to federation issues.

It makes xbps usage become easier, most xbps commands are quite long. By using this tool, installing packages from xbps-install it is just xi. https://github.com/leahneukirchen/xtools

Meh I don't mind the longer commands. I just don't know the flags. Still thanks though.
