Dream scenario. Whilst everyone is gloating over the new Nvidia RTX laptop, everyone also forgets the previous flop of the Arm powered laptops was not on the hardware, but bcs of the lack of decent software to run on it.
It's close to 2028 now and I pick one up for around 500 bucks.
And put Slackware ARM on it 😝

Hypr, hypr, bring out the mango 🥭 !

Yep, that's what you get with that pkg stuff. The day after publishing LibreWolf pushes an update 🤣
Their v151.0.2-1 is available in the sundries!

No news is good news. No updates today, and then we roll into my July Slowdown.
NB: Librewolf and Vivaldi will receive updates, once a week on Saturday. You'll have to look for them in the repo though, since I'll be off the FediShizzle for a month. Enjoy your summer!

In today's updates for x86_64 you can find librewolf (to 151.0.1-2), fresh-editor (to 0.3.9) and obviously brave-origin-beta (v1.91.162).

Because I always use eza, I also had to install rust-opt on Slackware. Which is a straightforward install, but it takes some time. All this for your beautified ls 🤣

Of course Vivaldi got updated once I posted my updates 😂
Well, technically it's still Wednesday here , so Vivaldi 8.0.4033.54 is up for grabs 🤓

Using Slackware Mango to ssh into a new Gentoo install (musl, openrc, rust, cosmic, zfs if it all works out this time) and writing a install manual is a very nice way to spend this Saturday morning 🤓

I run Testing on Slackware and I see some Xorg drivers being replaced with Xlibre ones (Wacom, AMD GPU). What's the bigger picture here? Oh, and let's put that out there prior: I have zero interest in unfounded ranting allegations, except my own's. Is Slackware moving to Xlibre?

Procrastination might sound wasteful, but it's actually great
Slackware Mango/Niri up and running, with all extensive goodies from the slackosaurus. Received some great feedback during my travails, so all's dandy now.
That leaves Gentoo dwm for tomorrow, and luckily enough that's a public holiday here. Or was it already in the back of my mind? 🤔 Probably 🥳 Cheers! 🍻

So, this time: minor update to Librewolf, another one up with fresh-editor and of course brave-origin-beta (which is basically a nightly).

A fresh delivery of slackosundries, my totally random collection of Slackware sw packages.
The latest version of Brave Origin (1.91.149-1) is there for the taking.
Also: a desktop client for Filen encrypted cloud storage is included in slackosundries now. I use that myself. The other packages had no updates.

Think I've gone through 4 kernel updates in a week (7.0.4-7) on Gentoo and Slackware. All went without any notable hitch. We should be grateful and happy with such responsible and dedicated maintainers among us 👍🏻 I certainly am 🙏🏻

Done and dusted. I've created SlackoSundries, my totally random collection of Slackware pkgs. Right now: brave-origin-beta, the fresh-editor and bottom, a great h or btop replacement. Updates where applicable every Wednesday and Saturday. You can find it here:

You know what's the problem with Linux Mint? It's so damn good.
Apparently yesterday's update borked sth in my Slackware Current. SDDM and then everything stops, usb mouse and kb dead, radio or bluetooth. Look at it later.
Made an LMDE iso, booted with that and start salvaging some files, prior to surgery. Has always worked.
Because I have this Gentoo project to finish 😝

Yep, the odd one out. I downloaded Brave Origin (on Linux it's free) and made a Slackware pkg of it. Even opened a repo to share, but I'll have to upgrade my Codeberg to upload files with a size over 100Mb. Fair enough, another to do. I'll be back.
