I haven’t really been announcing any normal updates I do to things, but I’ve pushed some rebuilds against the accountsservice upgrade in both repos against #slackware ‘s updated package. This affects Gtklock, gnome and stuff. I also pushed the latest #firefox 149.0.2 for #slackwareaarch64 and other updates I’ve been neglecting for days. #slackaroni https://slackware.lngn.net/
slackware packages/repos for aarch64 (and one or two for x86_64)

#Slackware just keeps pulling me back in.

I tried running it in a production machine and I ran into some trouble (my fault) so I went back to Debian, but I always want to go back to slack.

I recently installed 15.0 in an old netbook and it runs smoothly as butter. XFCE takes a minute to start, but after that it is 100% usable.

I'm sure I'll keep trying Slackware on machines more and more critical, maybe even a server. I just love it and I want to master it. It's such a great learning tool!

Final de semana serviu para resolver problemas com o meu Thinkpad L14
(L14 parece nome de linha de onibus interurbano. Na Alvorada tem o L10)
Bom... testei algumas distros e nao funcionou, sao elas:

- Trisquel
- Guix
- PureOS

Bom... cheguei a fazer o setup do slackware 15 mas vi que nao tenho mais a paciencia que tinha antigamente em compilar muita coisa e etc. Rodei o Arch e foi bom, mas ao instalar Teamviewer o installpkg entrava em looping... então resumindo:

O bom e velho Debian, na sua versão 13 deu conta do recado. Sigo feliz!

Testing some updates to the Slackware AArch64 U-Boot configurator, and decided to bring one of the original RockPro64 systems back online -- the same hardware used at the beginning of the AArch64 port.

Hardware Model: Pine64 RockPro64 v2.1
Linux bladswede.arm.slackware.com 6.9.5-armv8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 18 09:07:28 BST 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux

This machine hasn’t been powered on since 2024. It already feels like a different era.

@r1w1s1 I'm glad he can enjoy programming again after his burnouts and vanishing like that from the internet. With the farm that he founded with his family, I doubt he has too much time to spend on computers anymore. I guess this is a good thing for his mental health.

I'm not sure why you tagged #slackware in this posts but in any case, I'm glad I found it because of that.

Malgrado un incidente di percorso commesso da emerito imbecille degno del più niubbo dei niubbi ho completato lo slackbuild per la creazione del pacchetto di installazione del #middleware Software #CIE sulla #Slackware. Installato e testato il pacchetto, funziona egregiamente con lettore contactless collegato al pc.
1) firma digitale di documenti
2) autenticazione di livello 3 per accesso ai siti della PA senza usare app o smartciofeche
Non potevo chiedere di meglio: SOLO TRAMITE PC!

Question, is the kernel.org #Slackware repository really slow for anyone else? I am going over a vpn, but dang. They gonna make me break out the protocol analyzer...

Reinstalled Slackware today on the NUC, after installing KDE on Alpine on the laptop. This time I used the 'generic' Slackware Current iso, not a liveslak. For me this will be the way forward, since it allows me to build the system exactly how I want it, from scratch. Prune anything I want. And then add the great Slackeroni repo from @jloc0 to get MangoWC and Niri installed. Plus a lot of goodies, like yazi and noctalia (or dank if you prefer that) 🤓 .
It is good to be back on the right track again, sway with nwg-shell and dwm need to come back home again also.

@one_old_coder @moonpiedumplings The source distribution was #slackware the destination will be a successor of #guix ;)

EDIT: 😂 Please let me apologize. I read your question out of the context in which it was meant! I thought you were speaking in biblical terms. Still, food for thought...

Dylan Araps is back and working on dfm (Dylan's File Manager), a terminal file manager written in C. If you know Dylan's work from KISS Linux, neofetch and other projects, you know what to expect — tiny binary, no dependencies outside of POSIX/libc, vim-like keybindings and does absolutely nothing when idle. Looks like a solid suckless-style file manager worth keeping an eye on.

I tried it and really liked it, already submitted a SlackBuild to slackbuilds.org so Slackware users can easily install it.
