 If you are on a TTY and don't wish to reboot, you should be able to use `--now` with both commands. It's likely to kill your current desktop environment if it was launched from it.
 
+## Void Linux
+
+Lidm can be installed from the official Void Linux packages:
+
+```sh
+xbps-install lidm
+```
+
+To enable the service that starts on boot:
+
+```sh
+ln -s /etc/sv/lidm /var/service/
+```
+
+It is recommended to disable any other display managers that are still enabled:
+
+```sh
+touch /etc/sv/lightdm/down # replace lightdm with your previous display manager (e.g., sddm, gdm)
+```
+
+
 ## Fedora
 
 Thanks to @KernelFreeze there's a COPR repo available at <https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/celestelove/lidm/> to install lidm. (<https://github.com/javalsai/lidm/discussions/92>)
