A Void Linux story

Greetings , I will tell you of a journey....

Was in Windows 10 lag hell with this 2GB pc of mine , but I had already knew Linux was the solution , little did I know at what level. I was lagging hard with just Chrome ( imagine :( ) trying to get the ISO to burn...

These PC specs let you know that we are living on a prayer with this system however... I installed Void Linux at first with XFCE , but had to just get it more bleeding edge by installing the lighter LXQT , did some zram tweaks and such with this fine operating system that give you total control "Enter the Void". I then made a script to monitor performance in depth and voila this is how great and efficient resources are thank you Void Linux team.
