TODO:
compare sizes of glibc and musl installations
try running multiple MC versions on musl (incl ThatModPack)
need xdg menu maker?
test that the (RAM) boot option allows you to install to the stick the system booted off
adjust required USB stick and RAM size in README
do not rely on the RTC
  - change the message when configuring UTC/localtime to reflect that this is only for offline usage
  - use ntp to get time
    - only fall back to using rtc if offline
  - do not set the RTC
move /boot to /run/void-usb/container instead of its own partition
show user-friendly status instead of scrolling output from all sorts of tools
shutdown squashfs updater can’t get user input!?
make our own or extract (if feasible) kb selection and time zone selection to hijack them for our purposes
fix EFI boot

musl downsides:
  - no nvidia drivers
  - may be janky in regards to running some Minecraft versions
musl upsides:
  - ??


Stage 1:
  - select kb layout
  - install base system
    -> select installation type (x86_32/x86_64/aarch64, glibc/musl)
      -> if musl, add that bit to repo url
    -> configure time zone
      -> selection dialog?
      -> symlink /etc/localtime
    -> prepare 2nd stage installation
      -> auto login root and put stage 2 script in .bashrc
    -> build squashfs
  - prompt user to reboot to finish installation

Stage 2:
  -> configure services
    -> dbus
    -> NetworkManager
    -> acpid
  -> ask user to connect to network using nmtui
  -> install packages
    -> setxkbmap xauth xorg-video-drivers mesa mesa-dri xorg-server elogind xorg-input-drivers xrandr acpilight xhost xinit xrdb xinput xgamma xset iceauth sessreg transset xcmsdb xkbutils xmodmap dejavu-fonts-ttf
    -> terminal?
    -> browser?
    -> prism launcher
    -> java (multiple versions?)
    -> pipewire (pulsemixer?)
    -> ask about nvidia driver
      -> install if needed
      -> find out when and where to set `nvidia-drm.modeset=1`
    -> ask whether to use CTWM or IceWM
      -> short description of up and downsides
      -> if CTWM, also install
        -> xclock
      -> if IceWM, also install
        -> network-manager-applet
        -> sound applet
      -> configure zram swap
  -> passwd -l root
  -> populate /etc/skel
    -> ultimate bashrc bc why not
    -> first run message in xinitrc
      -> auto-deletes itself
      -> displays README.txt on root dir of the F2FS partition
    -> if using CTWM
      -> put xclock in xinitrc
      -> configure more sane defaults
    -> prepend bashrc with a thing that checks of xorg is running
      -> if not, run startx and ask user whether to shut down, reboot, or do nothing afterwards
  -> set up user
    -> ask for username
    -> run useradd (non-interactively)
    -> run passwd (interactively)
    -> add to groups
      -> including sudo group
  -> build new squashfs image and reboot
