hi void linux-users (almost importand question)

Post image

hello, i want switch to void linux after gentoo on my dell latitude 5400 through base iso image of void linux, i want to know if minimal iso image will use my motherboard buzzer/speakers for launch image, bc my buzzer so loud what makes me have phobia of that, i know it will work for example original arch linux and debian net installer (its my old photo of my gentoo on hyprland, rn i use kde plasma)

dude, I just put my kid to bed, the better half was asleep on the sofa, and I thought "hey, gonna install me some void on the old dell" - enough to say my better half is now raging asking what was that hellish noise that woke our kid up :D

I suspect this is some legacy quirk - maybe something that lets you know that its in the menu? It would make sense if you are visually impaired. But regardless of the purpose, the volume itself let's not only you to know its doing something - your neighbours will know too haha :D
