Where are they at for the next version number?
Daniel Butler
first post is right. Unix boomers.
I like the concept of slackware, but it should have more tools for sysadmins and, is not supported by most software vendors or developers. So mostly just hobbyist use it.
Alexander Hall
slackware seem like a great distro
Dylan Diaz
He does.
Cooper Rogers
>hobbyist use it.
like international megacarporations of world domination

Everyone needs more slack in their lives.

Never use it. I dont know.

Alexander Russell
I use it bc it feels like living in BSD land, but with all the drivers and goodess of the linux kernel.
Basically it's just the most "plain" or "clean" linux a regular dumbass like myself can be bothered to install.
Also p much everything is upstream so there's very little distro-specefic bullshit to be dealt with.
Isaac Barnes
it scares me to hear there's no patches. If there are security issues do they update the whole package then? Or do they backport to the version on slackware?

been using slackware based distros, they're fast and stable. never used actual slackware though. may need to play with it.
Eli Cooper

What are you talking about no patches?

You should be the one keeping up with the security meme and not rely upon others to do it for you, if you are truly security conscious.
Ryder Lewis
40 year old sysadmins who havent used anything else
Gavin Green
I was born in 1998 and I use Arch.

>just figure out a patch yourself bro
truly a pointless distro, thanks for confirming this to me
Connor Taylor
>just figure out a patch yourself bro
Not what I said.
I said you need to keep up with security releases, not rely upon maintainers to apply them for you.
Don't you know the #1 concern in opsec is trust?
Why should you trust some rando maintainer more than yourself?
James Brooks
All its users got fed up and left the distro.
Matthew Collins
I dunno but maybe someone can explain what the fuck is going on with their latest slack current live iso, because I didn't run into issues with one from around October
why the fuck does it take you to the bash shell during the loading process? I sign in under live but all that does is wait for bash commands and I have no clue what to do

Debian, ubuntu, RHEL, all of them apply a lot of CVEs backports. If your distro patches none, that is a little big job you got there, I'd rather just do Linux from scratch.
The absolute state of slackers, relying on the obscurity of linux

Not what I said, faggot.
You are a huge faggot though.

They don't use computers, so it's Android and iOS.
Camden Kelly
1) wget package set
2) install package set
Alternatively use slackpkg or something.

Why would you even use this scuffed distro when ubuntu and Debian exist???
Blake Johnson
Android, the most popular Linux distribution.
Cameron Rogers
I miss that 80s/90s zine aesthetic
Daniel Edwards
Reminder that there is a anti-slackware campaign going on for some reason. Notice the fud and lies. Why they want to dissuade people from trying or using it idk. Why they are trying to change normal perception of it idk.

I've been getting the feeling that slackware users are fifty or older.
Grayson Scott
Lazy people, the name implies that people are slacking off.
Asher Lee
I can't comprehend if you are baiting, are retarded, or you just didn't understand what we were talking about
Dylan Moore
the kernel is still in 4.4.x

What kind of retarded brainlet do you have to be that you fuck up using a live iso?

Heh heh...including all the lanthanides and actinides.
Good luck.

slackware current uses 4.6.x, it gets updated constantly but is unstable
if you try to use the stable 14.2., it is already quite old.. and still there isnt a new version out
John Wood
nah, 14.2 is fine
if I want newer packages I can simply compile packages from -current on 14.2, this scenario is similar to debian's backports
Nathan Green
have you tried to use -current packages in 14.2 already and were there any troubles?
I would be interested to update XFCE if it works after such tweaking and I would like to hear if you did this
Xavier White
It's my preferred linux os, but I use haiku as a daily driver now.
t. trans gal
Daniel Gray
yeah, since forever and it works fine
the only problem I can think of is that -current packages were built against gcc 6 while 14.2 still uses gcc 5 so they won't run on 14.2, that's why you have to recompile it
another thing to consider is to read the SlackBuilds file before compiling, -current packages tend to enable features that requires dependencies that aren't present on 14.2
example: vim 8.0 on -current has this
CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
./configure \
$* \
--prefix=/usr \
--enable-pythoninterp \
--with-python-config-dir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/python$PYVER/config \
--enable-python3interp \
--with-python3-config-dir=$(python3-config --configdir) \
--enable-perlinterp \
--disable-tclinterp \
--enable-multibyte \
--enable-cscope \
--with-features=huge \
--with-compiledby="" \
--build=$ARCH-slackware-linux || exit 1
14.2 doesn't ship python 3 so you have to remove the following lines that enable that feature:
--enable-python3interp \
--with-python3-config-dir=$(python3-config --configdir) \
also NEVER try to upgrade your gcc or libc, library, compiler, etc to a major version, i.e. 1.x.x to 2.x.x, upgrading minor version is fine, i.e. 1.2.x to 1.3.x
