Comment:
Indeed it would be better to have all these packages I'd wish to have in an official repository, supervised by official Void developers, but most of them are not redistributable and some of them are open source but hard to compile. Some examples:
* Master PDF Editor 4.3.89 (the last free version with full functionality)
* ProtonMail Bridge 1.5.2 (now open source – but as far as I know depending on some non-free Qt component – maybe I'm wrong)
* Sublime Text Dev 4094
* The closed source VS Code
* Ubuntu Audio Recorder
I converted them with XDEB and they work perfectly. Of course this is just a quick an dirty solution, but because of this I was able to migrate from Artix runit to Void. The AUR is quite handy in such cases, although of questionable security :D
For CrossOver, I decided to install it in my user folder instead of systemwide, using the official generic installer.
What do you think about that?
