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 🤣
#slackware
I was trying out Gnome, then this happened:

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! 🍻
#slackware
Wednesday's updates have landed, including the latest Librewolf 152.0.2-1, published just 6 hours ago. Gotta love that sync!
#slackware

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 🤓

It's Saturday and Librewolf is nicely keeping track of me 🤣
So, this time: minor update to Librewolf, another one up with fresh-editor and of course brave-origin-beta (which is basically a nightly).
Get your gear over here:
#slackware #librewolf
UltraGeeking:
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 🤓
#slackware #gentoo
It's Wednesday; and your update is up for grabs. The updated x86_64 Slackware pkgs for this time are:
- librewolf 151.0-1
- fresh-editor 0.37
- brave-origin-beta 1.91.156
Have a good one!

Righting some wrongs.
How come I never installed 'plain' Slackware Current with just dwm on my laptop??
Corrected!
#slackware #suckless
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?
#slackware
Once you Slack off, there's a lot to do ;-)

#slackware
A unique moment. Having 7 packages in the repo now and they're all updated this week ;-).
One returnee (Brave Origin) and one new entrant: Tixati, the GTK torrent client I've been using for almost a decade now.
#slackware #archlabs
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.
#slackware
@…
Bug hunting 101: for some obscure reason Spectacle wasn't working in Slim 6.7. (Re)install tesseract and leptonica (available in your repo anyway), all good!
It's always the user that effs something up 😆
#slackware
Whaddya all think I'm doing in this hermitage? Configuring River-Classic with DankMaterialShell, yazi, eza, you name it. Noctalia works also.
Thanks @… , another fine part of your repo 🥳 🍻
#slackware
Hot on the heels of Firefox Librewolf has been updated to v151.0.4-1 also. You'll find the Slackware X86_64 package here:
#slackware #librewolf
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 🙏🏻
#gentoo #slackware
It's that day again, Saturday....
Updates for Brave, Fresh and Vivaldi available!
#slackware
https://codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/slackosundries
Slackosundries is turning into my own little repo, with at least the packages that i use myself also. Hence the addition of Librewolf x86_64 in there.
#librewolf #slackware
There's never that much going on in jtown. Just being the latest and most updated KDE out there.
#slackware
With 4 updates (bottom, fresh-editor, librewolf and vivaldi) it's impossible to keep on reclusing 🤣 See y'all next month!

Looking forward to this one!

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:
#slackware
It's Saturday, updates are available.
Most notably Fresh Editor getting a bump to v.0.36. And Brave origin obviously.
Go get them before it's Wednesday again 😎
#slackware #braveOrigin
Really appreciating all great work @… has done in bringing all extra goodies to Slackware. Case in point: Mango, Noctalia shell, Ghostty terminal. And i brought Fresh editor along 🤓 More on that tomorrow!
#slackware
For posterity. The distro I ran the longest was ArchLabs, for 18 months. Epic!
Next month it will finally be surpassed. Then i've been running Slackware KDE by @… for a grand total of 19 months. Thanks mate 🍻 !
#slackware
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 😝
#slackware
It's Saturday in our neck of the woods. Grab your updates for Brave Origin, the Fresh editor and Vivaldi now at:
#slackware #vivaldi #fresheditor
So much for being crusty.
Slackware Current, kernel 7.0.10 and Plasma 6.7 beta 2 (6.6.91).
Thnks @… 🍻 🥳
#slackware #kde
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.
#slackware #braveOrigin
Time for Saturday's updates: new versions of fresh-editor and brave-origin-beta are available at:

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 😝
#slackware
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!
#slackware #librewolf
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!
#slackware
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).
#slackware
All available here:
https://codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/…
Yep. Done. Version Beta v1.91.135 of Brave Origin for Slackware by yours truly is available. Plus some additional tweaking tips by me. Happy browsing!

My two cents on the new Hyprland:
Hypr, hypr, bring out the mango 🥭 !
