Highlights

  • Updates without reinstalling. The suckless tools come from the signed Abyss Linux PMR (https://mrzakaria.github.io/AbyssLinuxPMR/current, key c6:f0:d1:05:cb:f1:89:83:58:c2:e2:e4:4c:c9:09:9a), which is preconfigured next to the Void repositories. sudo xbps-install -Su updates everything.
  • A clean, minimal bar with a one-click Menu (Apps, System settings, Tools, Power).
  • HiDPI out of the box in Apple Virtualization and on large screens.
  • A readable installer: dark theme, large font, one-step automatic UEFI partitioning.
  • Silent boot straight to the desktop.

Full details are in the README and the CHANGELOG.
