So fellow #slackware users (I know we have a few of you on the fediverse), what are you installing on new machines these days. Still 15.0 or are you all moving to -current?
My main work machine on 15.0 is fine but I am thinking of setting up a new machine and 15.0 feels a little old now. I sometimes have to spend longer upgrading a bunch of stuff when I need a new version of one pack…

After my blurb y'day of enjoying it on Kalpa, I liked it even better to see that AlienBob has Ungoogled Chromium in his repo, great stuff! Also, slackbuilds for Brave-Origin, Librewolf and Bottom are available (not by me) and up to date, so my SlackoSundries will get a big overhaul by September 1st.

Minor update of the sundries this weekend, only Librewolf gets updated to 1.56. Curious minds will have seen though I added version 0.16 of Zig to the collection last week 😎 Enjoy and be careful out there!

Get out of that gloomy rut and grab some updated packages while you're at it!
Find them here and read about some packaging updates.

Yep. Slackware is outdated. Or is it?
Hyprland 0.56.2, Ghostty, Fresh editor, DankMaterialShell and Zen browser. Enuff said.

Yep. Yep. Updates to Proton Pass and LibreWolf are available for ye Slackers.

There's a lot of nice software being made in the Slackware eco-system. I particularly like slacker and slackfetch. See the dep resolution for the Kitty upgrade in Slacker 🥳 Have a look on https://forge.slackware.nl/ for some goodies.

What the last couple of days have shown me is that, with some help from rclone, FreeBSD has become a truly viable alternative for my D2D for me. A triumvirate of Slackware, Chimera Linux and FreeBSD gives me everything I need and want, both in work and in private. A big relief.

Nix is probably a pun by Eelco Dolstra, the creator of Nix, on the Dutch word 'niks', which means 'nothing'. "What are you doing? Niks!" Niksen means sth like doing nothing specific, just procrastinating. As such it's no coincidence I'm both a Nikser and a Slacker. I've found my space.

Basically what I want from a wm. No frills, just a bar, a bg, a couple of workspaces, some applications and a bit of color.
River-classic gives me just that.

Tranquillity. Slackware xfce, running on that 63 USD potato. And doing just fine! It'll be the base for all my tilers (and for the sundries as well).

As busy as last week was, as quiet has it become right now 😆
Only Librewolf gets an update and you'll find it here:
#slackware #slackosundries

@… : Just to give you a heads-up: all's well that starts well. After the 1273 updated Slackware pkgs (including yours) all is good on this end. For the sake of it I briefly switched to dms on hyprland: all good 👍🏻 Mango and noctalia ditto. Thanks mate 🍻
#slackware

Chores have been done. A new LibreWolf and Proton-Pass are available at:
#slackware

You know you still haven't lost it when the first tiler you re-install is dwm.

You thought NixOS users were vocal? Listen to the Slackers chirping away, with version 16 presumably on the horizon 🤣
Let's check the mirrors and join in 🥳

Another week has passed. Time to pass on the updates. This week fresh-editor and librewolf get updated. You can find them and more at:
#slackware

In the weekly kerfuffle we have 5 updates, this time bottom, brave-origin, fresh-editor, librewolf and vivaldi go one up.
#slackware #librewolf #brave-origin

For the sharp eyes out there: zig has been updated to version 17, but not by me 😆
Let me consider if I'll continue with oxwm, it being the reason for my homebrew.

It is Saturday.
It is time to update my SlackoSundries.
I spent the better part of the last hour checking and tweaking all options in Noctalia.
Somehow this feels grand.

Yes, I'm an MS Office 2013 refugee.
Thus: loving the new LibreOffice 26.8 tabbed interface!

Changeling Or The End Of?
It's time to crawl out from under that rock. Although I kinda liked it there....
