ive just started using voidlinux as my main for my pc. everythings running smoothly, i run mango as my wm and that works well. today i tried installing steam. first it was missing some 32bit libraries but i solved that and got it working. the app launches and i can look around in the ui and enter my library and stuff. however, when i hover over a dropdown ui such as under view, friends or even store or library it crashes my whole session/window manager. the crash is so instant theres no log on the screen or anything before it crashes, my mouse hits the dropdown (not even pressing anything) and it goes kaputt. im guessing its some missing ui toolkit or driver thing (i have nvidia drivers and nvidia 32bit drivers)? ive installed gtk+-32bit and gtk3+-32bit, dunno if that helped. i had a similar issue yesterday with prismlauncher for minecraft where it was doing the exact same thing basically, i figured out i was missing some qt packages and then it started working but for steam i have no clue whats missing/broken.
I've noticed the last year or so a fairly large influx of ex-Arch users in this subreddit, much more than before that...
I'm genuinely curious what made you guys (girls?) want to switch.
void linux was the only distro that worked when I used proot-distro in termux to have an xfce desktop experience. Then proot-distro ipdated to version 5.5.0 and it all went up in smoke! NONE of the OCI containers work. I get transient resolver errors and informed i do not have root access to ping not , not , not
So i downloaded a rootfs tarball and tried to extract it and make changes for installation from the temporary folder. after entering xbps-install -Syu, I'm told to run xbps-install -u xbps but when I do. I'm getting glibc errors and file not found errors. I'm at my wits end!!
Because void worked so well before, I installed it on an old laptop and use it everyday. Now I'm screwed because I have to find something else unless i get help.
My requests at the proot-distro github are ignored. Honestly, the team doesn't want to do anything except mark comments invalid and clise them. Well after 1 month trying, maybe it's time to move on?
