Impromptu Linux Install

Posted by deathchimera - December 16th, 2023


Damn, I just spent the last two days OS hopping from Artix to Void linux because my GRUB got all fucked after a system update. Happened directly after I posted the last audio. First time doing something like that so I spent most of the time backing up all my files. Luckily Void has an easy GUI installer and I didn't accidentally partition my home folder or anything.


This being my only computer that's worth putting linux on, it was quite scary. Still got some stuff to work on for this install, but I actually replicated my system pretty spot on. I'm back to business as usual as far as I can tell. Was kinda hoping for a reason to distro hop anyways. I feel Void will be much easier to manage than Artix, and the documentation has been pretty good so far. I did spend half a day on just Pipewire alone, but when it works, it works damn good.


It was a nice break from routine. Now I feel reinvigorated to pursue the animations I was planning beforehand (but also, it being midnight, I'm also pretty drained).

"[...] so I spent most of the time backing up all my files."
Smart! There are two things I have learned by reading these kinds of posts:
1) Back up everything beforehand.
2) Do not leave your backup drive plugged in.

I wish you and your new system the best.
