Announced About the termination of the development of a custom distribution Trident , originally developed on the basis of FreeBSD and Trueos (PC-BSD), but two years ago the Void Linux batch database. Distribution used the ZFS file system and the OpenRC initialization system. The decision on folding was accepted by key developers, the life circumstances of which recently changed, as well as personal preferences. The gradual conclusion from the operation of infrastructure elements will begin on November 1 and will end on March 1, 2022, when the project site works will be stopped and the package repository is disabled.
Recall that the cause of the TRIDENT project migration on Linux in 2019 was the inability to get rid of some problems limiting the distribution users, such as hardware compatibility, support for modern communication standards and availability of packages. Thanks to the transition to Void Linux, the developers tried to expand graphic card support and provide users with more modern graphics drivers, as well as improve audio card support, sound broadcasting, add support for sound transmission via HDMI, improve the support of wireless network adapters and Bluetooth interface supports, offer more Fresh versions of programs, speed up the download process and implement support for hybrid installations on UEFI systems.
distribution void linux , on a batch database of which the transition was carried out, adheres to the model of the continuous program update update cycle (rolling-updates, without individual distribution releases ). The project applies to initialization and managing the services system manager RUNIT , uses his own batch manager xbps and package assembly system xbps-src . As a standard library, instead of GLIBC, it is possible to use MUSL. Instead of OpenSSL, Libramsl is used. Developed in the Void system distributed under the license BSD.
