Setting up networking ​

Run dhcpcd first (doesnt work if you run wpa_supplicant first), then run wpa_passphrase 'SSID' 'passwd' >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlp2s0.conf, then run wpa_supplicant

Updating the system and adding nonfree repositories ​

sh
xbps-install -Su
xbps-install void-repo-nonfree void-repo-multilib void-repo-multilib-nonfree

If those commands return something along the lines of "Operation not permitted.", run SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER=true xbps-install -Su. This will remove the SSL verification, which is an issue on older installation media.

Add a user account ​

sh
useradd -m -G wheel,plugdev,video,audio,usbmon ahwx
passwd ahwx

Check the Void documentation for sudo permissions and about adding to other groups if needed

Installing needed packages ​

sh
xbps-install opendoas neovim zsh curl wget git gnupg lf dbus xdg-user-dirs xdg-utils xdg-desktop-portal-wlr dbus psutils htop
ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/dbus

Installing video drivers (please refer to the handbook for this as my info might be outdated) ​

For AMD/ATI cards:

sh
xpbs-install mesa-vaapi mesa-vdpau mesa-dri vulkan-loader xf86-video-amdgpu xf86-video-ati # choose if you need ati or amdgpu here!

For Intel cards:

sh
xbps-install linux-firmware-intel mesa-dri vulkan-loader mesa-vulkan-intel libva-intel-driver # use libva-intel-driver up to coffee lake, else use intel-media-driver (from broadwell)

For NVIDIA cards:

sh
xbps-install xf86-video-nouveau mesa-dri mesa-dri-32bit # last package is glibc only
