[ale] Void Linux Presentation at GoLUG, 7/3/2024 7PM Eastern Daylight Time

[Leam Hall]

Hey all,

I enjoyed using Void as my primary desktop for a while. The rolling-release/stream isn't for me, but other parts of Void were okay. In some ways it took me back to my earlier Linux days where I had to figure out the package commands and whatnot.

If you're tired of distros that feel like Windows, give Void a try.
