The Void team have announced a new snapshot of their rolling release distribution. Void features an unusual combination of init (runit), package manager (XBPS), and multiple options for C libraries. The project's release announcement reports: "Some highlights of this release: Installing using the network source no longer fails to create the non-root user. The xbps mirror can now be selected in the installer using xmirror. The Xfce live ISO now uses LightDM. GRUB will no longer fail to be installed in some partition layouts/orders. Various improvements to the installer. Xfce live ISOs now use PipeWire for audio, and base ISOs now include ALSA. Live ISOs now include several new boot options, including screenreader-enabled, memtest86+, reboot, shutdown, and EFI firmware setup. The console screenreader espeakup, the braille TTY driver brltty, and the GUI screenreader orca are now included in all live ISOs for x86_64 and i686. To learn more about this, read the documentation in the Void Linux Handbook."

The Void project produces an independent, rolling release Linux distribution. The project's latest snapshot provides a keyboard layout selector on the login screen, enables the chrony network time daemon, and supports Raspberry Pi 5 computers. The distribution's release announcement shares the details: "Some highlights of this release: A keymap selector is now shown in LightDM on XFCE images. The chrony NTP daemon is now enabled by default in live images. Raspberry Pi images can now be installed on non-SD card storage without manual configuration on models that support booting from USB or NVMe. Raspberry Pi images now default to a /boot partition of 256MiB instead of 64MiB. rpi-aarch64* PLATFORMFSes and images now support the Raspberry Pi 5. After installation, the kernel can be switched to the Raspberry Pi 5-specific rpi5-kernel." Void is available in glibc and musl C library editions.
