Void Linux is probably possible.

(08-30-2020, 10:22 PM)wdt Wrote: A couple questions, but 1st my impressions
login, took a bit of searching, I've changed, IIRR root:voidLinux
startx,, nope
ifconfig,, nope (just what is wrong with ifconfig??)
up arrow ,, nope Oh ... sh
bash,, yes!
At least there are the normal vt's, unlike bsd that maybe you can get working somehow
I guess i remember how ,, wpa_supplicant, that's all there is
So, update, install, more install and again and again and again
sddm,, yes! ,, all a bit plain, lots of customization still needed
BUT,,BUT the cube WORKS, this is the 1st time I have seen that on arm!
That impresses me
Sleep really matters to me, for a few reasons
from /etc/acpi/handler.sh,, dbus has to be running?
Probably in runit?
I know how to set up with systemd, not runit
How/where to increase terminal font size? ,, these old eyes have trouble with microscopic fonts
startx won't work until you install (at least) xorg-minimal and create ~/.xinitrc

ifconfig is deprecated, use `ip addr`

root's default shell is /bin/sh, create an unprivileged user to enjoy the comforts of the bash shell

wpa_supplicant is there by default, NetworkManager in repos
`wifish` is a good tool to control wpa_supplicant without mucking about in wpa_cli

sleep currently doesn't work on rk3399 (in any distro I believe, not supported in mainline kernel yet)

acpid is installed by default (enable with `ln -s /etc/sv/acpid /var/service/acpid`) and then you will be able to handle power events with /etc/acpi/handler.sh
sleep still won't work though

not actually sure how to increase font size in tty, I believe it's baked into the kernel/initramfs somehow
