From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looking at the install script, they seem to be using the linux-lts kernel from void which has very few patches applied on top of upstream.

But the README indicates that this is a work in progress. It would be nice if, once done, they upstreamed and maintained it in void as a kernel-hardened package.
