# Updates
Update all packages with
```bash
sudo xbps-install -Su
```
See [xbps](xbps.md) for more.
# Remove old packages
Void keeps *every* version of everything you install, so you can roll back to them.
Remove old packages with:
```bash
sudo xbps-remove -O
```
# vkpurge
Old Void kernels are left on the boot partition. List them with:
```bash
vkpurge list
```
Remove one with:
```bash
vkpurge 2.8.2_4
```
Remove all but the latest with:
```bash
vkpurge rm all
```
# Brightness
Look in `/sys/class/backlight/*/brightness`.
You can change this number to change the screen brightness.
For an easy utility, install `brightnessctl`.
```bash
brightnessctl s 10%-
brightnessctl s 10%+
```
