<h2>The Void (Linux) distribution</h2>
<p>
Void is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic <a href="https://www.kernel.org">Linux</a> kernel. Its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection.
</p>
<p>It is available for a variety of platforms. Software packages can be built natively or cross compiled through the <a href="https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages">XBPS source packages collection</a>.
</p>
<p>Follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/voidlinux" title="Void on Twitter">Twitter</a>, visit the <a href="ircs://irc.libera.chat/#voidlinux">#voidlinux</a> IRC channel on <a href="https://libera.chat">libera.chat</a>, and join the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/">Void Linux subreddit</a>.
</p>
<p>Visit the <a href="https://build.voidlinux.org/console" title="Void builder">Void build server console</a> for package build status updates.
</p>
<p>Contribute to the Void Linux project by <a href="https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">adding and updating packages</a> and <a href="https://github.com/void-linux/void-docs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">extending the documentation</a>.

<h3>Not a fork!</h3>
<p>Void Linux is an independent distribution, developed entirely by volunteers.</p>
<p>Unlike trillions of other existing distros, Void is not a modification of an existing distribution. Void's package manager and build system have been written from scratch.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>Stable rolling release</h3>
<p>Void focuses on stability, rather than on being bleeding-edge. Install once, update routinely and safely.</p>
<p>Thanks to our <a href="https://build.voidlinux.org">continuous build system</a>, new software is built into binary packages as soon as the changes are pushed to the <em>void-packages</em> repository.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>runit</h3>
<p>We use <a href="http://smarden.org/runit/">runit</a> as the init system and service supervisor.</p>
<p>runit is a simple and effective approach to initialize the system with reliable service supervision. Refer to the <a href="https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/services/index.html">Void Handbook</a> for an introduction.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>C library diversity</h3>
<p>Void Linux supports both the <a href="http://musl.libc.org/">musl</a> and <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/">GNU</a> libc implementations, patching incompatible software when necessary and working with upstream developers to improve the correctness and portability of their projects.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>XBPS</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/void-linux/xbps">xbps</a> is the native system package manager, written from scratch with a <em>2-clause BSD</em> license.</p>
<p><em>XBPS</em> allows you to quickly install/update/remove software in your system and features detection of <em>incompatible shared libraries</em> and <em>dependencies</em> while updating or removing packages (among others). Refer to the Handbook for <a href="https://docs.voidlinux.org/xbps/index.html">an overview</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>xbps-src</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages">xbps-src</a> is the xbps package builder, written from scratch with a <em>2-clause BSD</em> license.</p>
<p>This builds the software in <em>containers</em> through the use of <em>Linux namespaces</em>, providing isolation of processes and bind mounts (among others). No root required!</p>
<p>Additionally, xbps-src can build natively or cross compile for the target machine, and supports multiple <em>C libraries</em> (glibc and musl currently).</p>
