During the installation I opted in for the hardening options which includes Apparmor, Audit, and hardening sysctl however, it does not include any firewall. I installed UFW myself as well and enabled it using the void linux way. The Gnome desktop has been customized with additions of Mac like and Windows. By default, it also includes quite a few gnome extensions which I turned majority of them off and chose Dash to Dock instead of the bar so it looks more like stock gnome. I intent to keep it as I do like the fact it is based on void linux, just hope the project does not get abandoned by the developer. Was this review helpful?

Secondly, it was the only Void-based system that was able to mirror my HDMI screen at 1920x1080 to match my laptop - out of the box, no xandr script to write. Thirdly, the package management system is excellent and everything I use from video and audio, photography and image, CAD and drawing - all were there just as they would be available in Debian, Fedora or Arch. I don't know about these scientists who put this OS together in Romania but I know they have made a crackerjack system that checked every box for me and I now use it on a regular basis. It deserves a far higher ranking and more attention than it's getting and my hat is off to the developers of a remarkable OS. By the way the laptop it's installed on is a vintage ASUS G74SX with 16GB of RAM, intel Core2 processors running at 2Ghz, an Nvidia Geforce GTX 560M with 3GB of RAM and a 2TB Crucial SSD. Hope that helps someone. Was this review helpful? Yes No
