Update on Void and system crashes

These days I was struggling with 3 crashes (kernel panics? idk) on my void linux machine. I was using emacs that I suddenly could not do anything on the system at all. The system suddenly crashed for a long time, not letting me to interact with programs or even change into another TTY, and when I tried to save my open buffer I faced this error: Directory /home/behnam/.emacs.me write-protected. Moreover, I was unale to use any commands in my already open terminal, and I could not open another one. However I was finally able to change into another TTY screen, but I could not login; after entering my username, whether behnam or root, the TTY would get stuck, not even asking for a password. ...

Enter The Void

updated at [2024-08-15 Thu] I always thought voidlinux looked cool and wanted to try it, but I couldn't use the normal live images with gnome boxes on my fedora 39 machine, and I was not daring enough to go for it. However, after upgrading to fedora 40, one of my old problems resurfaced, and I pushed myself to enter the void to save myself. ███████╗███╗ ██╗████████╗███████╗██████╗ ████████╗██╗ ██╗███████╗ ██╗ ██╗ ██████╗ ██╗██████╗ ██╔════╝████╗ ██║╚══██╔══╝██╔════╝██╔══██╗ ╚══██╔══╝██║ ██║██╔════╝ ██║ ██║██╔═══██╗██║██╔══██╗ █████╗ ██╔██╗ ██║ ██║ █████╗ ██████╔╝ ██║ ███████║█████╗ ██║ ██║██║ ██║██║██║ ██║ ██╔══╝ ██║╚██╗██║ ██║ ██╔══╝ ██╔══██╗ ██║ ██╔══██║██╔══╝ ╚██╗ ██╔╝██║ ██║██║██║ ██║ ███████╗██║ ╚████║ ██║ ███████╗██║ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██║███████╗ ╚████╔╝ ╚██████╔╝██║██████╔╝ ╚══════╝╚═╝ ╚═══╝ ╚═╝ ╚══════╝╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝╚══════╝ ╚═══╝ ╚═════╝ ╚═╝╚═════╝ Why Voidlinux This gets back to my maind problem, but as a disclaimer, I am not a pro and I don't know basics of debugging. So don't take the stuff here as a matter of fact. I used Debian and Fedora for some time, maybe 3-4 years, alternating between the two. At first, my WIFI was not properly suppoerted on the old Debian kernel so I used the backports. I also experienced some kernel panics which I didn't properly know about. Then I finally moved to Fedora for an easier experience, the kernel panics were still present. Sometimes they would be fixed after an update and, sometimes they would get worse. ...
