P-OEM's void linux setup

About this setup

• it is a public version of my personal setup, meaning that it's not the same, but it contains a lot of smaller installation guides, and packages I've installed to shape my system to my needs

• this does not have an install guide (yet). for that I recomend the official installation guide here or this youtube video here, the same youtuber have an installation guide for the musl library version as well

• I've been using the xfce glibc version of Void linux, and this setup is shaped around that

  • that doesn't mean that some of the solutions can't be applied to other systems to, but they may not work

• for the most part this setup should be self explanatory, read the titles
