I installed void linux on a ThinkPad T420 laptop today using this guide by "Jake@Linux":
https://jpedmedia.com/tutorials/installations/void_install/index.html
Had to go through it twice, due to my ThinkPad BIOS being set to boot to "legacy first" instead of "UEFI only", so the first time I booted the Void USB it booted in Legacy mode and I was not aware of it.
Learned quite a bit and was successful in the end.
Super minimal. I did install the cwm Window Manager and created the .Xauthority and .xinitrc files with enough to get x11 to start with startx and get into the graphical environment.
I haven't imported my cwm config or other files yet. Another day.
