The bad thing is, it's pretty hard to compile Linux with musl. I don't remember the specifics, but it had to with the #define mess that glibc uses.

- onli 7y agoI also stayed away from musl because of compatibility concerns. I see the appeal, and void even has a musl version. But I remember posts about software not being available, maybe sometimes just not being as easy to install. Thinking of steam there for example, though I'm sure there are solutions to make it run anyway.
- KitDuncan 7y agoYou can just use flatpacked Steam if you want to use Musl Void. There might be still a few issues, but that's not because of Musl, but because of the Flatpack version.
- friend-monoid 7y agoBut the kernel itself doesn’t use glibc?
- alexdowad 7y agoDefinitely not. The kernel has its own implementations of any standard C functions which it needs.
