Redpill a dumb debian babby on void or slackware, which takes less time to install and configure, i am also assuming slackware is more stable.

Slackware is even more stable than Debian and requires very little configuration. The only problem I have with it is thar the default install has a fuck ton of stuff in it.

It has 10GB worth but all dependencies are met and you have a complete operating system. Also 10GB is nothing with the size of hard drives today - a 30GB root partition is nothing. My /home partition is 178GB which is plenty.

So i should just git gud and go for slackware, i have an optimus laptop so im assuming i will have just as much difficulty with it on both o.s’s, keep in mind im a total noob. I can fix things by reading wikis or asking for help on irc, but who cant.

I need to learn how to parition a. Hard drive properly, i will probably just watch a youtube video on it, im sick of debian breaking my shit

Also bear in mind community. The Slackware community on LQ is a very knowledgeable place. Also the Void maintainer is AWOL and the forum is down.

Slackware is reallt easy to install and isn’t really that hard to use honestly and the wiki is good enough to walk you through the installation, updates, and the little configuration you need, so yeah just go for slackware.

Alright im sold. Slackware it is, i originally wanted to install slackware but void seemed like it was easier to install than void and i am really busy with schoolwork atm. Slackware will be worth it im sure

Others have taken his place, not to mention he appeared again recently.
I'd go for Void but I use it since years so whatever. Never had anything break except an upstream driver regression that was fixed in little time.

i tend to turn off the DE's and I don't think I ever needed most of the programs in the xap set. disabling some of the stuff in ap might be good too if you know what you're doing.
obviously, emacs and the tex suites are up to you. you can get rid of a few networking programs too but unless you understand UNIX networking you shouldn't fuck with it. libraries are not worth messing with either.
