Void Linux Desktop Environment Installer

NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE VOID LINUX PROJECT.
An script that installs GNOME or KDE on Void Linux. This project was started so that there would be a somewhat easy way to set up a desktop environment, just as Arch Linux has. If you are looking for the official void-installer, that can be found here.

Installation Instructions:

Warning: If you have an NVIDIA GPU, replace the NVIDIA graphics card packages with the recommended packages for your GPU, which can be found in the Void Linux Documentation.

  1. Install Void Linux using the void-installer script included in the ISO. Install from network source, or else you will have to run a few extra commands on some occasions.
  2. Boot into Void Linux and sign in as any user.
  3. Run xbps-install -S git as root.
    NOTE: If you have an issue running this command, try updating XBPS by running xbps-install -u xbps as root.
  4. Download and run the installer by running the following commands:
    git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/rockpods/void-de-installer
    cd void-de-installer
    chmod u+x install.sh
    sudo ./install.sh
    If you want to view the script before running, run the following command: cat install.sh | less. Press q to exit less.
    If you want to not install printer drivers, open printer.sh at desktops/extra/printer.sh in a text editor and edit line 3 to say install="n".
  1. If you are using an SSD, after log in, check the Void Linux Documentation to learn how to enable periodic trim. Cronie should already be installed and enabled.
