So, The Core (in no particular order):
1. Slackware with nwg-shell Sway, Niri and Mango
2. Gentoo dwm
3. Aurorix, my KDE container spin.
4. FreeBSD 15 with Mango
5. Slackware Flatbrew, a KDE QT6 experimental iso, with Brew and Flatpaks (thnx @… 😉)
All working superbly.
Contemplating a bootc Cosmic spin 😜

This analysis 100% encapsulates my sentiment about the #StarWars Sequel trilogy with one key difference:
I really never preferred 'The Last Jedi' over 'The Rise of Skywalker'. Yes, choosing between two evils... but TLJ committed the unforgivable sin of not just being BAD but also being perpetually IRRITATING.

Quahogs are VERY long-lived clams. This wise one was born 100 before Shakespeare. Cherish them. If you eat them, venerate their little clam bodies, first.
From "New Scientist", Tom Gauld comic.
#AncientWisdom equals #GoodEating

A quahog clam born 500 years ago, perched upon an Elizabethan collar, declaims wisdom:
Clam: Dost thou seek a life prolong'd?

Then heed my wise council:

Dine modestly 'pon root and herb.

Chill thy bones in icy waters.

Be not a sloth nor a sluggard.

So. That iso with Slackware, nwg-shell on Sway and Niri plus a shitload of goodies (thnx @… ) installed nicely. Cleaned it up a bit and added and compiled Mangowc (aka maomao) myself, to have a closer look at it. Added Homebrew, Flatpak is there by install.
Surprisingly enough this means also I'm out of KDE for the first time in about 5 years.
I had a …

So, I'm getting down to the core:
1. Slackware with nwg-shell Sway and Mango
2. Gentoo dwm
3. Aurorix, my KDE container spin.
All working superbly.
One SSD left. FreeBSD? I think so.

6:30PM.
Finally getting round to compiling that minimal Slackware try-out.

Let it run overnight, but the end result is worth waiting for: a very clean, fully functional KDE 6 session on Slackware. Exactly the base you would get when installing Plasma on ArchLinux, and thus a perfect base to build on.
Later today: adding homebrew, distrobox and flatpak to get additional applications installed.
Thanks @… !

Changing the name to mangowm almost kept me from using it. Looking forward to a geek-out with maomao (the original name) today. From what I read it can combine tiling and scrolling. A short compile on Slackware was a piece of cake; advantage of the kitchensink is that all prerequisites are already installed.

Okay, a brief recap of today's trials.
Alpine with Cosmic was no success, with an cosmic-OSD running at 100%.
AerynOS blew up the install at 97%.
FreeBSD River showed the audio output device in pavucontrol, but produced no sound.
The Slackware QT6 spin shat the bed again with SDDM.
Gentoo KDE update got interrupted by me; compiling kwin takes ages. And i mean 2 hours or so.
The Slackware Cosmic iso downloaded, but got corrupted in the process.
The exter…
