Hi everyone,

I'm considering installing Void Linux on a AMD Evo 14. I know this machine usually ships with Ubuntu or Fedora-based distros by default, so I was wondering about its compatibility with a rolling release like Void.

Has anyone here tried running Void on this specific model? Specifically, I'd like to know if there are any issues with:

  • The kernel/drivers (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.)

  • Power management and battery life

  • Special hardware features (touchpad gestures, ecc)

Also, if the vendors happen to have any official info or community documentation regarding non-mainstream distros, I'd love to hear it. Thanks in advance!

=================================================

Hola a todos:

Estoy pensando en instalar Void Linux en un AMD Evo 14. Sé que este equipo suele venir de fábrica con Ubuntu o distribuciones basadas en Fedora, por lo que me preguntaba qué tal es la compatibilidad con una rolling release como Void.

¿Alguien ha probado Void en este modelo específico? Me gustaría saber, concretamente, si hay algún problema con:

  • El kernel/drivers (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.)

  • Gestión de energía y duración de la batería.

  • Funciones especiales de hardware (gestos del touchpad, etc.)

Además, si los vendedores tienen alguna información oficial o si existe documentación de la comunidad sobre distros menos comunes, agradecería mucho la información.

¡Gracias de antemano!

Good morning, mizi

While Void Linux specifically hasn't been tested by us, other rolling-release distros have been tested and do work properly
The Wi-Fi driver should pick up correctly as it is supported in the vanilla kernel, as well as bluetooth

However, as this distro runs with runit, some packages that we distribute are only intended to be used with systemd's udev, so you might need it if you want to have these packages running

You can find which packages this laptop needs to work properly here: https://slimbook.com/en/blog/guides-2/post/software-and-drivers-evo-meta-package-495

The GRUB packages that we distribute also offer a kernelstub option if your system does not have GRUB, we do not offer for other loaders, so you will have to put the kernel parameters by hand. In any case, in the URL I linked before you can find which kernel parameters do you need for your EVO

As for the rest of the information you mentioned, it should run fine, but hasn't been tested by us so take it with a grain of salt.

Regards,
