About Vay

Inspiration and the why

I’ve been using Linux for a long time. In my earlier days, I switched between distributions quite frequently, trying different setups and figuring out what worked best for me. Over time, I realized something important: the distribution you choose doesn’t define what you can do with Linux. While some tasks might be easier on Arch Linux than on Debian or Fedora, all three give you the freedom to build a system that suits your needs.

Documentation

Welcome to the Vay documentation. Here you’ll find everything you need to build the ISO, install Vay, and get started with your new system.

Building the ISO

Prerequisites

Currently, Vay ISO images must be built manually. You’ll need a working Void Linux installation to build the ISO. Prebuilt ISO images and automated container-based builds are planned for the future.

Before you begin, make sure you have:

A working Void Linux base system
The required build dependencies installed
An active internet connection
Enough free disk space for the build and resulting ISO

Note: The Makefile does not install build dependencies. You must install the required tools yourself before building Vay.
