@stefano : Just a quick shoutout and thank you!
Your tutorial on setting up VoidLinux, on ZFS, with encrypted swap worked great. Followed all steps, and everything (including hibernate and restore) works exactly as expected.
Learned some things along the way (encryption, zfsbootmgr) and, most of all, had a lot of fun doing it ;-)
Tomorrow I'll be adding the Cosmic desktop environment to it and off we go! Mille grazie 馃

@thesaigoneer thank you for the shoutout! I'm glad it worked for you. I'm using it daily, and it's a joy. The fans are much more silent than with openSUSE Tumbleweed - because of a lot less (useless) background activity.
@stefano I'm curious: What was the extra activity that OpenSUSE was doing? Do you know?
@thesaigoneer
@pertho @thesaigoneer First of all, the Btrfs snapshot creation and destruction activity seems to be more intensive than ZFS. I haven't measured it, but while ZFS keeps CPU usage low, Btrfs puts a noticeable load on the CPU.
I'm also fairly convinced that it is checking for updates, running systemd-related tasks, and so on. It's more automated, but that鈥檚 not something I need.
@stefano Already enjoyed that hibernation restore, worked very well. A great daily driver for the new year. Enjoy your holidays still 馃
@thesaigoneer thank you, enjoy your holidays, too!
Hibernation isn't that important on my minipc (while suspension is) but it's a life saver on laptop
@stefano Yes, I took the daring plunge to put it on my 'work' laptop, as I bring that along during some days. I personally find it a bit impolite to have a screen open during a meeting, so that immediate hibernate is great 馃挴
