Linux

void is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic linux kernel. its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the xbps source packages collection.

it is available for the intel x86, arm, and mips processor architectures; software packages can be built natively or cross compiling through the xbps source packages collection.

not a fork!

void linux is an independent distribution developed entirely by volunteers.unlike trillions of other existing distros, void is not a modification of an existing distribution. void's package manager and build system have been written from scratch.

rolling release

install once, update daily. your system will always be uptodate.thanks to our continuous build system, new software is built into binary packages as soon as the changes are pushed to the voidpackages repository.

runit

we use runit as the init system and service supervisor.runit is a simple and effective approach to initialize the system with reliable service supervision. see the usage page for a brief introduction.

libressl

we were the first distribution to switch to libressl by default, replacing openssl.due to the heartbleed fiasco we believe that the openbsd project has qualified and proactive developers to provide a more secure alternative.

xbps

xbps is the native system package manager, written from scratch with a 2clause bsd license.xbps allows you to quickly install/update/remove software in your system and features detection of incompatible shared libraries and dependencies while updating or removing packages (among others). see the usage page for a brief introduction.

xbpssrc

xbpssrc is the xbps package builder, written from scratch with a 2clause bsd license.this builds the software in containers through the use of linux namespaces, providing isolation of processes and bind mounts. no root required!
