Currently testing the age-verification support for the Slackware Installer.

I got #Slackware 15 on a #ThinkCentre M73 SFF (i3-4160 with 4GiB and an SSD), no sweat.

Then installed #OpenBSD on it just fine, it's running now.

However, #NetBSD fails on "no root devices" or similar and #FreeBSD, which is what i'd really like to install due to native #ZFS, just freezes on the boot screen.

These are all ISOs on the same Ventoy USB disk.

Boosts and suggestions appreciated.

In an effort to push even deeper into GNU/ #Linux Nerd-dom, I've been considering my options for going #Systemd-less so I can be just a little bit more snooty about my #OSS software choices. `/s`

- convert existing #Arch install to #Artix
- go real old school with #Slackware
- #void #voidlinux

As much as I have a soft spot for the nostalgia of slackware, I think pacman and the Arch repos have really spoiled me.

I may wind up on Artix, but I'm going to at least give void a try and see.

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?
