Props to @volkerdi for standing up to the #ageverification . If you’re not using #slackware yet ask yourself why ?
The screen res on this old macbookpro isn't large enough to get more data onscreen but here's #gnome 50.0 running on #slackware.

DAW question for Slackware 15.1: Pipewire or JACK Audio?

I bought a new laptop to do some more serious work on, and while I was setting up the audio, installing JACK Audio Server and friends, I wondered what would be the proper path forward for a Slackware DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) when Slackware 15.1 is released with all the improvements over the 15.0 stable release. Should I stick with JACK or look into Pipewire to get rid of the Jack server?

I have been running a couple of very long term analysis programs on #slackware 15.0 :) These will run for much longer.

This was typed on #NetBSD which I have 11.0 RC2 on. These are my 2 favorite systems.

Softlanding Linux System (SLS) is (probably?) the first linux distro. Slackware is the oldest linux distro that is still being maintained. If you're curious there's lots of people active on #slackware on liberachat and linuxquestions.org.
Yesterday I made an appreciation post. This morning it was gone. Not sure if snac decided to do a thing on its own or if I accidentally pressed the delete post button when trying to turn off the alarm on my phone this morning or whatever, but here it is again, slightly expanded and modified. No “AI” was used in the crafting of this message:

Finally Friday! Well, now Saturday!

I’ve been boosting and posting some negative content lately, and I really don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, so I’ve decided to focus more on stuff I like. So here it goes:

I really really like #OpenBSD, #Slackware and #9front. They do what I want from them, never complain and never break on me. If they break, I can easily find information on how to fix them, or a member of the community will come to my aid.

I really like #herbstluftwm. Cool sounding name, easy to customize and handles my windows really well. What more could I ask for in a window manager?

I really like #zathura. Easy to customize and blends well with my color themes.

I really like #mpv. It does what it’s supposed to do.

I also really like #anonradio and #hackerpublicradio (#hpr). Thanks for keeping me entertained.

Also, @[email protected] : Thanks for constant content.

An honorable mention to #wife, #kids, and #cat. I enjoy your company.
@santiago no de 32 bits, pero en una de esas tareas de "algún día voy hacer", quiero instalar #Slackware, sólo que como si no fuera suficiente complejidad pasar a una distro así, me gusta tener el disco cifrado y le sumo un paso extra a esa complejidad, que ya soluciono fácilmente en #Devuan.

¿De casualidad tendrás algún "paso a paso" de como se haría como para tomar nota para cuando ese día llegue o al menos probarlo en una máquina virtual?
