Slackware = Good old South Africa
Ubuntu = New (((South Africa)))

>no virtualization software by default

slackpkg and sbotools
it has kvm compiled in. Just install qemu or virtualbox like any other distro.

arch is the best distro fuck off

Slackware is nostalgia for me.
But right now im comfy on Solus.

> Also yes, i can install arch & gentoo.

Hi grampa

is it really an option? how up to date are the packages?

Gentoo is a better choice until they get a real package management system.

Not officially blessed by The Big P Man Himself, that's basically recommending 3rd party software for package and dep management

That's not Illumos.

i love slackware, I do, but idk man.
maybe i'll put in on a pc im building out of spare parts

>It won't be bleeding edge, but everything on it will be absolutely rock solid stable

This is such a fucking meme. "It's old, but stable!" Yeah okay grandpa it's stable you can use Firefox 4.0 to check if you've received a Gmail beta invite yet and play the hottest games as well, I hear Quake may be ready in the next stable release that comes out in 2030.

"Old and stable" means nothing. Even fucking Arch is stable if you are aware of what packages you are installing and upgrading. You don't have to use ancient packages to make a stable system.

You also don't have to use bleeding edge to have a performant system.

It's like Arch except not shit

he said boomer which correlated to how old the distro is, not freedom

compared to the average debian user

werks on my machine

anybody tried slackpuppy?
I found that the newest version based on slackware-current was realeased literally yesterday?
How is it compared to slackware, will it work with slackbuilds etc?

Yeah, that's what happens when package management is left to the regular user. You also have 1224 packages, 400 of which I imagine are the different DEs, WMs and themes you have installed.

I bet you don't even know how to uninstall packages/applications in Slackware.

what is slackpkg

what is a full install

what is a one terabyte ssd

the themes are so that the non qt programs don't look like ass

>it is 2019 and people still argue about packagecount as if it's not arbitrary
I can bundle my entire system into a single package count is 1 or have every base component be separated into its own package and have 8 billion.
Package count has never and will never matter.
This is by far the worst pissing contest of them all.

why should i do it

this is a good thread
FRIENDLY REMINDER TO INSTALL SLACKWARE LINUX

you seem to be considering the common misconception here that package count can be used as a linearly scaling and universal measure for defining a bloated system, which it is of course not

Yes I am. They work pretty damn well Divinity runs without a glitch that I can tell. Updating them can be a bitch if you don't follow the instructions properly because the drivers replace some Mesa files. They have a script to swap between the Nvidia replacements and the original Slackware ones but if you forget your originals get nuked. It's not a huge deal to go download them again from a Slackware mirror.

let's see your desktop, you always lurk for Slackware mentions

at work now, will post when I can

So i messed around on antiX os but have never compiled my own kernel is slackwarw for me or should I just go hardcore and do gentoo?

why not drop an 8 core fx in that?

The good ol' Slack.
I can say I learned Linux and Unix/*BSDish using Slackware, who uses it knows what I'm talking about. I can swap to any bsd and feel at home.

It's still a very important distro but these days I don't see the need of using it as main. Sure you can use the rolling release, it's pretty stable.

last year I herd about void runit and gave it a try, I didn't knew much about it just installed to find myself again at home.

Dont really need it, it runs fast enough for all my daily tasks. Plus, I dont really play games outside some emulation every now and then.

understandable. It would probably half your compile times though.

cute

In mr. robot, theres only one appearance of slavkwarw and its a black guy using it

>mr reddit at all

I used to love Slackware... Now though I use Manjaro as I can't justify spending days of my life compiling source for software I need. Slackware is great for servers but not so good for the desktop. An example: I wanted XFCE to produce thumbnails of videos (other distro's do this out of the box) - I spent hours compiling source - only to find I needed to recompile Thunar as well... UNCOOL... Good video though!

Hi Zoomer
No
Try months.
That’s gay, but Pat is the man
Then compile newer versions, you aren’t at the mercy of a package maintainer
