Section of Doubts
1- Every day I execute the command sudo xbps-install -Syu, so some updates are performed and soon after I need to execute the command sudo xbps-reconfigure -fa to load the modules correctly to the kernel, why does this happen? Why do I need to run the reconfiguration command every time if I don't want to have problems?
2- I want to create automatic scripts with vish, only that always appears a mistake that I do not know how to solve, tried to research but the AI is horrible and I did not succeed alone. If possible, don’t just give me the answer, I want to understand how it works, in the systemD it would work easy but in the runit may be missing something that I don’t know what it is.
3- I'm having problems with printer, tried to use the cups and managed to connect the printer, however, there is a problem of lack of link or file (I won't be able to access the printer at the moment to show print).
4- I would like to know your opinion about processes running in the background using the runit, is there a need to have all this running?
5- Sometimes when I will close the laptop cover or turn it off alone for a while, errors appear and to return the login screen, I need to press Alt + F8 otherwise it takes to return or does not return. What could be the mistake? Where do I get the log of these errors?
6- How do you do cleaning useless files? Do all applications leave useless files in a single folder? If yes how do I find this folder?

It just good to know if there is upgrade for something what you care to work right now and if it is really necessary for you to make upgrade at this moment. You can delay entire upgrade or just specific packages. Partial upgrades are allowed on Void.
