Hakunah matata you piece of shit
i discovered it around the same time, but i forget how. It’s been my only daily driver since then. I can fumble my way through a .deb distro if I have to, but slackware is my comfort zone.
You should throw -current up on a distrohop partition and re-live your youth.
I’d be offended if I weren’t so busy managing my own dependencies.
I recommend slackware exclusively. Sometimes times it feels like I’m pissing into the wind.
Why can’t we get banana milkshakes at McDs over here in the land of the free?
If you are still dual booting, btrfs has a very good windows driver. Btrfs is newer and only recently started becoming the default on a couple mainline OSes. Ext4 has been around forever and is assumed to be much more stable.
Fwiw, I’ve been using btrfs for the last 18 months or so without any issue. I don’t use any of the tools. There’s no obvious or immediate performance difference like there was in the old days. We’re all on SSDs now and they’re fast no matter what.
Distro-hop? Never. But getting something to work is way more satisfying to me than using that thing. (Slackware user since late 90s, recently diagnosed with adhd)
Slackware users won’t! At least not so far.
Or, kick it old school with reiserFS
Oh sweet child
Slackware current on btrfs for snapshots. Slackbuilds make the text go weeeeee, but the scripts will compile and build the package for you.
Plasma 6 hasn’t come over officially yet, but the main guy who put plasma together has a testing version out.
You could probably get the official proton app running, but I’m good with protonvpn-cli.
It’s been led by the same one dude since the early 90s. There’s nothing close to corporate about it. And there are great communities on IRC and matrix full of knowledgeable folks. And there’s linuxquestions.org too.
Thank you brave pioneers. I just felt confident to switch to btrfs last year.
I’m a long time slackware user, but I joined the party some time in 99 or 00.
I never had the pleasure of installing from floppies, but I did compile my own kernels to speed up boot time. Sometimes they would boot, sometimes they wouldn’t. That was part of the fun.
I’ve been on a retro kick lately. I have a pentium 200 mmx based machine that will eventually run a floppy installed slackware. Or at least it will if I can get it to work.
I’m doing trisquel on a sugar toast for my 5 year old and she loves it!
I had a 5600x on a b450 board with Kingston pc3600 too. I had no problems running xmp profiles and optimized defaults. If cool & quiet was enabled by default then I didn’t mess with it.
I rarely use suspend or hibernate, and I don’t encrypt my drives, so I can’t speak to those issues. But even though you say you don’t need the speed, I think you’ll be very pleased with this upgrade if you go through with it.
No reason here, other than the fact that it’s not slackware.
Shift + insert
It’s nice to find another slacker in the wild.
Slackware needs to learn how to be hip like arch. I’m the baby in our irc group, and I’m 40. All the cool kids are using arch BTW.
I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school you piece of shit
