Do you have experience with Void Linux?

Well done. I see you have dinit init system and turnstile login manager.
Sway is your choice, I stayed with KDE.
I think Chimera has a future… it is more than just a demonstration showing that one can mix parts of Linux and BSD… it chooses modern efficient software instead of traditional overdeveloped software. I like that.

It’s screenshot program for Wayland.

I think you mean the difference between glibc and musl?

glibc is the gnu c library, it’s short for Gnu LIBC. It’s not just your standard c library, but it contains lots of non-standard functionality which would be practical to have. This one is most commonly used c libary for Linux.

Then there’s musl, I think this was also an acronym – but I don’t remember what it stands for. It’s a c library which keeps itself extremely close to the specification. It’s maintained by one guy. Keep in mind that when you’re using this as your c library, not all Linux software works.

The part that doesnt work with musl is systemd.
In Void with musl, everything works for me… runit is fine with musl.

Honestly, there’s more. In general, that’s big software, though.

I have not found any issue yet in Void/musl. They probably omit packages that dont work.
Chimera also has musl by default. No issues for me there.
If a package uses non-posix features in glibc, it will fail to compile with musl.

Thanks for the replies

Yes correct

Big thanks for that! … interesting the bold part

Very interesting … if it is theoretically the most close to the spec why there are no more developers involved … it remembers me in some way the xz case (1 developer)

Thanks to all for your support :clinking_beer_mugs:

One developer can easily maintain a C library. It is small and modular and not rapidly evolving. More software should be like this.

Interesting point of view. Of course it depends of the complexity of the app itself
