For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Llevo un tiempo usando neko void tengo unas sugerencias:
- Agregar el waifu downloader de nyarch!
- Soporte Full NVIDIA!
- MAS FONDOS DE KYOKO LOS NECESITO URGENTE
- Que quiten FIREFOX y usen Zen Browser o Thorium
- Hacer mas claro el instalador en la parte de locales!

Si estas leyendo esto y no has usado neko void en resumen es un sistema derivado de void linux que cumple con lo que dice ofrecer una instalacion sencilla de void linux sin usar la terminal!

Si necesitas void facil esta Neko Void ademas trae octoxbps (instalar paquetes sin usar la terminal) viene ademas co gnome-software , entre otras cosas geniales como btop y fastfetch preinstalados!

If you’ve ever wanted to try Void Linux but were intimidated by the "build it from the ground up" DIY nature of the distro, Neko-Void is exactly what you’ve been looking for. It’s an unofficial respin that takes the rock-solid, lightning-fast foundation of Void and wraps it in a package that actually works the moment you live-boot it.

Right now, it ships with a beautifully preconfigured MATE desktop. It’s clean, lightweight, and stays out of your way. But the real "secret sauce" here is the post-install assistant. Instead of spending hours hunting down packages and editing config files, the assistant lets you toggle the system into a specialized machine for gaming, music production, or design work in just a few clicks.

Very good distro, I see some issues on the betas still, but overall is looking that is going in the right track. I think this is a great start for whats going to be a friendly distro for people that want to get used to Void Linux. Keep the Good Work! I believe this is going to be a great distro.

The main things I can say about this distro is that it is unique from others by choosing Mate as its main DE choice, that makes it look different than most average linux distros that stick to good ol' xfce. Another thing I liked is the fact that it has its own custom installer, that makes it be different as well in a good way.

Really good start for this distro!
