Welcome

My name is Daniel, I'm a pharmacist and an open source enthusiast.

Areas of interest

. simple, minimal and usable software;

. open source bios replacement Coreboot;

. old hardware and its resurrection for today's use.

d77void

I had been interested in developing "my own" Linux operating system for some time and so I decided to take a solid system like Void to make my respin with an easy to use window manager like Fluxbox/Openbox (both ideal for newbies and experienced users) with my usual suite of apps (abiword, gnumeric, scribus, zathura, nextcloud, cmus, mpv, github-client, firefox, geary).

Initially the idea was to have my own system ready to install on the computers that pass through my hands for testing.

After I had it ready however I thought: why not make it available on sourceforge?

If anyone is interested, even just seeing how it works, here is the link:

If you test or use it, be sure to make your suggestions or repairs; I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Venom ports

Trying a new OS; it's called Venom Linux. Very similar in ideas and work to CRUX, but simpler to install and maintain.

The excellent scratchpkg feels like an upgrade to an already great prt-get from CRUX; it works really well and is updated regularly.

The community is very helpful and always accessible at telegram.

But I was missing a few components that I had ported to CRUX, so decided to port them to Venom as well.

my Venom ports repo is available here

Hope it can be useful to someone else.

CRUX ports

After a few years in Arch, decided was time to try new things as daily driver;

Tried NixOS, OpenSUSE, Gentoo...for one thing or another, all of them failed to convince me. The nearest one, that I still have installed in one of my machines, was Void.

The simplicity, frugality and sane config options of CRUX convinced me; it's a hell to start, but once you get to know it, it is fantastic!

my CRUX ports repo is available here.

NEW:

My d77crux ports repo is increasing in ports; since August I added like 15 or more ports, but having a system that already suits my needs in every aspect, will probably port less often from now on.
