There's a closed pull request on the void-packages repository

New package: pantheon-session-20200331
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/20538

Description:
[Finally](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/13243) pantheon desktop is ready for void users!

To use it, you have two options:
1. Install a display manager like lightdm or gdm.(recommended)
    1.1. There is a [greeter](https://github.com/elementary/greeter) for pantheon, and i'm going to send it as a separate PR.
2. Use `startx`(has some drawback)
    Edit your `.xinitrc` file like this:
```
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=X11
export DESKTOP_SESSION=Pantheon

wingpanel &
plank &
session=${1:-i3}

case $session in
  dwm             ) exec dwm;;
  i3|i3wm         ) exec i3;;
  pantheon        ) exex gnome-session --session=pantheon;;
  *               ) exec $1;;
esac
```

And run this command:
`sh -c "/usr/bin/startx /home/linarcx/.xinitrc pantheon; killall -9 wingpanel; killall -9 plank; killall -9 gala"`

**Bonus**: To make life even easier, make an alias in your `.zshrc` or `.bashrc` file:
`alias startp='sh -c "/usr/bin/startx ~/.xinitrc pantheon"'`

### Switchboard
One of core components of pantheon-session is switchboard and its indicators. Please notice that I've intentionally didn't include any [switchboard-plugins](https://github.com/elementary/switchboard). Instead I've created most of them as extra packages and you can install them as you want:(I'm going to send them as separate pull requests after this PR merged)

## Greeter
- [ ] [lightdm-pantheon-greeter](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/20652)

Hint: to use `lightdm-patnehon-greeter`, first install `lightdm` and enable it's service. Then install `lightdm-pantheon-greeter`. You can set the default greeter by changing the `[Seat:*]` section of the LightDM configuration file [`/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf`], like so:

```

[Seat:*]
...
greeter-session=lightdm-pantheon-greeter
...
```

One way to check which greeters are available is to list the files in the `/usr/share/xgreeters` directory; each `.desktop` file represents an available greeter. In this example, the lightdm-gtk-greeter and lightdm-kde-greeter greeters are available:

```
$ ls -1 /usr/share/xgreeters/
lightdm-gtk-greeter.desktop
lightdm-pantheon-greeter.desktop
```
And the config file of pantheon-greeter[ `/etc/lightdm/io.elementary.greeter.conf` ] contains:

```
[greeter]
#activate-numlock=true
#default-wallpaper=<path-to-your-favorite-background-image>
#high-contrast=false
#onscreen-keyboard=false
#screensaver-timeout=60
```
