What is d77void GNU/Linux?

It's a respin of Void GNU/Linux, created to demonstrate the capabilities of Void's tools, such as void-mklive and void-packages.

Originally initiated as a Void respin with Fluxbox it has evolved to offer a wide range of options, including the window managers awesome, bspwm, dwm, fluxbox, herbstluftwm, hyprland, i3wm, JWM, labwc, leftwm, niri, openbox, qtile, river, sway, wayfire and the desktop environments, Cosmic, LXQt and XFCE.

Two user accounts are provided: anon and root, both with the password 'voidlinux'.

The distribution can be installed using tui d77void-installer or Calamares.

If you'd like to see the system in action, you can view a demonstration video by searching for "d77void" on YouTube.

User Reviews

  • I've suffered and cheered thru every iteration of d77 since the developer issued his first ISO and went so far as try a half dozen desktops when available. Here are the major issues encountered: 1) schizophrenic cursor movement with a dozen tails following it. Why? My USB Logitech M570 roller ball mouse is probably being USBGuard-ed to death. 2) Most savvy PC owners backup to a USB drive. D77 prevents that as there's no functioning white list/black list on the nine images I tried. Yes, they are all verified downloads. 3) Every PC owner I know uses USB devices to store videos, CAD, music on but d77 prevents that in its current state. There's no point in listing every reason why it's a silly app for any private owner of a PC. It's really only useful for PCs owned by public institutions such as libraries, etc and d77 is never going to be installed en masse by such organizations as they use Windows or some Linux with a 15-20 year track record that's been modified in-house. I congratulate you on sticking it out and making d77 the best Void so far and though the Cosmic desktop is beautiful, a non-functioning USBGuard is a deal breaker when it doesn't work as intended. I do hope when I check back into d77 in a year or two that USBGuard is either gone or you've provided users with an easy way to remove it. The big players in Linux have avoided including it in their live images for good reason. In closing, I've been a Linux user since Slackware, Debian and openSUSE first put out live images and I've never found the need for such a tool. My PC friends include USBGuard (along with a few other apps) as "tools for fools". If a PC owner is so reckless as to pop in a USB stick that he hasn't vetted himself, he deserves what he gets and will learn from that mistake. Please, don't contribute more prophylactics to our 'nanny society'. If "saving us from ourselves" goes much further I'll need to find another planet. All the best.

    Hello jjcab, thank you for your review. It is very important to know your problems with “my system”. I think I know how to prevent both issues you have encountered. I have to test it but most probably it is because better-control panel system; one of its dependencies is USBguard. I will test it as soon as possible and if the problem is solved I will release new ISOs without better-control and of course USBguard. All the best, Daniel
  • Excellent work. I would like to try void linux (next, better arch, I hope), but it will be in my multiboot linux zoo, so it has to be calamares installer. Please confirm, calamares exists for every iso, or, at least, for Cosmic. Thanks!

    Thank you for your review. At least for now, every ISO has a Calamares installer. Void doesn't have it by default and sometimes I can´t make it work until I figure how to recompile it again and working. But for now, I confirm that every ISO has Calamares.
  • Great work! Thanks for Cosmic =)
