First Linux package contribution

Yesterday I finally make my first contribution but void linux! It’s funny that I’ve been using a bunch of distributions for years but the first one that I was motivated enough contribute, and that made it straight forward enough to do so, was void :)

I’m not gonna rage about how xbps or their void-packages works, but suffice to say, I finally did it!

Our of the many Linux distributions I've run over the years, I have to say Void is among the very best. You're tempting me to get more involved with it.

@jeang3nie

I’m completely blown away by how elegant and efficient it is! I’ve used… well, from Gentoo to Ubuntu, and this is by far one of the best experiences I’ve had with a distro!

I mean, they turned me into a contributor in 4 days of using it!

@benj are you using Glibc or Musl? Just curious.

🚀 benj · Jun 18 at 00:29:

@jeang3nie tbh idk :) I actually decided to try void because of musl but I don’t remember choosing either glib or musl so I’m using whatever is default

void linux is one of the best, had submitted a few packages a few years ago, void-packages is fairly easy to work with
