Re: [Trisquel-users] I found a new libre distro you all might be interested in...

[arcrinato]

I use both Void and Parabola. Parabola has an option to use OpenRC when you  
install it, which I took advantage of. The Parabola wiki has details for  
migrating from a systemd installation, but it takes a little elbow grease to  
get some things working with the OpenRC install from the getgo. Nonetheless,  
it's there and it's square. Void uses runit. I don't believe OpenRC is  
available for Void, but runit is a very speedy and straightforward init. Void  
does not use the libre kernel though, and according to a mod on Void's  
forums, "The binary blobs are in the linux-firmware package, if you don't  
have hardware that needs or its not installed they won't be loaded." Void may  
not be for you if you absolutely want the libre kernel, I suppose. I rather  
like Void, but any time you mention free/libre stuff on the forums there  
seems to be a few people who get snappy with you. Parabola is great too but  
there are some kinks with OpenRC, so I'm rather interested in Hyperbola.
