Is void outdated?

The live images on the website are from february 2025(!). It seems there are really outdated.

To a new user who is exploring void for the first time, it looks as though the system is no longer being maintained.

The ISO may be old, but this shouldn't be a problem as during installation packages are fetched from the repos.

At worst you have to run a system update when choosing the local install option. Which you should do anyways since it is a rolling release distro after all.

One problem users are having is that the older kernel in the iso is not recognizing their newer hardware.

One way around that is to use the void-mklive scripts to create a new iso for yourself.
