Funktioniert bei euch einer der nachfolgenden Links von #VoidLinux? (HTTP GET)

* https://repo-fastly.voidlinux.org/current/
* https://repo-fastly.voidlinux.org/current/x86_64-repodata

Beim zweiten Link bekomme ich nur einen 404er und beim ersten:

> curl: (92) HTTP/2 stream 1 was not closed cleanly: PROTOCOL_ERROR (err 1)

Ich musste gerade in den Tiefen von zig Scripts und Build-Containern wühlen, wie ich das temporär umgehen kann, indem ich einen anderen Mirror verwende. 😬

That's it, I start to get enough comparing linux distros. I even check FreeBSD!
Three distros remain in the race: Arch for its simplicity, Debian for its stability, and Void because I like it and it runs runit which I find quite refreshing in this systemd dominated world.

@stefano : Just a quick shoutout and thank you!
Your tutorial on setting up VoidLinux, on ZFS, with encrypted swap worked great. Followed all steps, and everything (including hibernate and restore) works exactly as expected.
Learned some things along the way (encryption, zfsbootmgr) and, most of all, had a lot of fun doing it ;-)
Tomorrow I'll be adding the Cosmic desktop environment to it and off we go! Mille grazie 🤗

Checking out, before cooking, that guide by @stefano .Installing VoidLinux, zfs, encryption and hibernation. Gonna follow all those steps meticioulsy., but not today.
It is no surprise ssh works ootb on Slackware.
Pots and pans are calling, happy xmas all!! https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/12/22/void-linux-zfs-hibernation-guide/

In 2026, I want to change my OS. I'm hesitating between

Arch
Devuan
Gentoo
Guix and
Void

Things to consider:

I've already installed and used Arch some years ago; I'm considering Artix, excluding the s6 init (I'm not prepared for this one);
gentoo and Guix are probably the most complex distros1
Void is certainly the most comfortable choice.
It's to install in real hardware: Intel i5-7400 3ghz, ssd 1to, 32gb ram, nvidia geforce 1060 3gb. Yes, I want to play light videogames sometimes Main purpose would be to learn Linux, Web, writing MarkDown and Org, zettlekasten organisation, etc...
