Noid Linux

Noid Linux is my personal customization of Void Linux. It's tailored to my preferences and comes with a custom XBPS repository enabled out of the box.

Features

Minimal Base System: Built on Void Linux's lightweight foundation
Custom XBPS Repository: Additional packages and modifications I find useful
Calamares Installer: Graphical system installer instead of void-installer
Multiple DEs: Available in XFCE (primary), KDE, and GNOME variants
Flatpak Support: Bazaar pre-installed for easy app installation

Hello Today I have tried your noid Iso It works fine on an old hp thin client with 16GB RAM and a HD with 500GB. I had no problems to install the boot loader.Flatpak works fine too. I found only a small issue: During the installation the screen was locked and I can't find the password. (Train) About printer: I have 2 Laserprinter, both works with a workaround with void handbook (dns works, binary it does not work. totally congrats to your ISO. Continue to develop this iso. I am a home-User only and I like flatpak to listen radio stations and a small office work like libre office Greeting from Austria

Thank you for trying out Noid and for the detailed feedback! The password of the live environment is `noidlinux`, sorry that wasn't clear, I'll make sure it's in the description here. I don't use printers usually, so the fact that your laser printers worked is great news. Thanks again for the support, I'm so glad you find this project useful :)

Hi, the Noid project is improving continuously with the addition of a bazaar that supports Flatpak packages, as well as the availability of DE variants. I hope we can get a Wayland dynamic window manager like Hyprland or a X11 dynamic window manager like Qtile for users who prefer a tiling WM.

Thank you for the support. Usually I don't prefer ISOs like this to come with a WM out of the box (they tend to require extensive user-specific configuration that's better being done by the user). However, I am currently working on a Niri ISO, so fingers crossed it goes well 🤞

How do I install this noid? I have a live USB burnt but there is no installer on the desktop.

Thanks for trying out Noid! I kept the same installer that come with Void Linux. Just follow the same guide you'd follow for installing Void.
