    I used it for a year a year or so ago and changed for some reason. Recently did a fresh install and I am seriously unable to think why I left it.

    It’s insanely fast, performant, resource-friendly and much more community driven than other distros with the void-packages repository on GitHub. Oh, and it doesn’t have systemd so my install boots in 3 seconds flat, compared to the 22 seconds for Fedora 38.



  • Fedora 30 - 36 were phenomenal releases and I mostly used them, recommended them elsewhere.

    I had to start using the Spins because the default GNOME desktop is just becoming unusable. Stripping functionality to make it prettier, not fixing longstanding issues.

    Then Fedora had that kerfuffle with the licensing issues with codecs, and I couldn’t play a certain type of HEVC video that the vast majority of my video library is encoded in.

    Then, more recently, I had issues with Python in their repos. That was the last straw. I’ll definitely check it out again in a few years to see if they’ve fixed a lot of these problems, but I wouldn’t recommend the distro in its current state.







  • In the UK where there’s universal healthcare, we had Dr. Harold Shipman who murdered a lot, and a current court case with Lucy Letby who killed 8 newborns. Malpractice happens in every system regardless of how it’s funded.

    Probably not the place for a discussion about healthcare systems on a meme shitpost thread, but I do think there’s better alternatives to universal healthcare where standards usually drop for everybody. Obviously, there’s some godawful private systems too, just look at America.
