- The homepage maps Return, b, v, h/j/k/l, q, and r to desktop actions.
Field notes
The page gives a substantial tour of Void Linux alongside the desktop, including its runit service model and xbps package manager. It explains how a service is enabled by linking its folder into /var/service/, and shows commands for updating and searching packages. Vikix is described as using Void’s glibc variant; the page also links to the Void handbook, download page, discussions, and issue tracker.
