I dont have any issues with enabling things with certain distros, but I deal with mainstream users and I prefer to have many things auto-enabled. After my install I go through and drop services I dont need. Void simply wouldnt serve my needs nor that of friends or clients, speaking to tlmillers comments.

Well, everything is pretty decent right now on here. It's been getting faster to boot as it's been used (still not fast), and off the dock it actually boots pretty decently fast. Printer working, most applications other than an office suite are good to go (I don't want libreoffice as the only one due to using it at work). They helped me fix the power issue with it ignoring the KDE power setting to do nothing when lid was closed. I installed ksudoku from flathub.

So the only issue left that would allow me to consider adding Void to my list of OS's that are good enough to use is to be able to get a MS Office compatible Office suite.

It is.

I'm actually giving it a shot at creating the xbps-src template to install them. Right now I'm waiting on Firefox to compile (xbps-src has 69, but the main repos are still on 68), and then I'm going to test my templates. I tested with updating the template for Vivaldi which was at 2.6.whatever, so I modified that to install 2.7.whatever is current. Seems that the template for a proprietary binary installer is moderately easy looking, so figured "why not try it". Who knows if it'll work, but if it does, I'll be good to go.

I will say, hopefully I don't have to regularly compile Firefox...it's been going over an hour now...
