From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Isn't it in xbps-src? IIRC the Void guys don't want to package things that don't have a blanket redistributable clause in their license.
Yeah, my mistake, xbps-src... they might even have it in the repo repackaged, not sure, though it was in src only back when I installed it.
Yeah, I know that. They got permission for Vivaldi some time ago (like a year ago I think), so that's great, I just love Vivaldi ☺️.
I was also working on some old niche wares, like Nero 10 for Linux and some other packages long out of date, but still work. They wouldn't include them, so I might just put the templates on github or codeber.
