not sure if anybody will really care but I’m making a void based gaming distro with all gaming applications and tools installed and seatd+turnstile configured, which I know can be hard for some, it’s just so hard to design a logo/theming
I switched to Void ~2 months ago from NixOS, shortly after systemd made decisions that I could no longer stand behind. I was heavily integrated into NixOS, with both of my laptops, gaming desktop, and servers running it. I had already tried Gentoo, and while it's great, I didn't want to compile most things, and I wanted something simpler than OpenRC.
I finally looked closer at Void Linux and thought I'd give it a shot. I nuked NixOS on my laptops and desktop (something I probably spent 80+ hours configuring) to install Void. My initial concern was gaming, as most people say you "have to be on the latest of everything to game AAA!!" Well, lo and behold, I get the same performance, if not better, on Void than on NixOS unstable. Everything just works, and the system is extremely lean, simple, and fast.
I'm really just posting this to thank the maintainers of this amazing distribution and to give people in the future another opinion if they're concerned about gaming on Void. Hardware below :)

virtual machine image of a void efi install?
Hello,
Is anyone aware of a virtual machine image of void linux x86_64 efi for download
I have completed countless void installs in the past without issue
every install I attempt now, completes, but the grub install always fails
(this is with official, unofficial and self built live iso's)
I 'm struggling, (post install) to see the kerenls, show up in either refind or supergrub, both mbr and efi
I was hoping there would be an efi virtual machine image somewhere, I could dd the vfat efi across to the hd
ubunutu and debian installers (when I manage to boot them in a vm) will install grub, I'm wondering the difference is between the void and debian installer approaches to grub?
Thanks
