Can say what you want about Slackware, but some ports in Slackbuilds are updated faster than you can say update.
Cases in point for me: Vivaldi, Librewolf and Softmaker Office 2024.
All contributors: much appreciated 👍 !

Heaping praise on Slackware doesn't hide the fact that setting up LUKS, on EFI and with grub is a glorious pain-in-my-you-know-what. Most write-ups are outdated or reqiure adding keys to kernels or what-have-you. This isn't 2012. Recommends requested, specifically for Slackware!

Thanks Jay!

Universe is another word for Cosmos, hence Universix as the name for the bootc Cosmic image I've cooked today. And it worked out very well. More on that tomorrow. Back home an updated MangoWC on Slackware waited for me! Great diversions from a shiite day at the races.

All things aside, that Slackware with Niri and the DankMaterialShell is rocksolid.

Spend my day in Slackware Flatbrew, a one-off from my mate in Motown. Synced KDE dots, brew installs and installed flatpaks between Aurorix and Slackware, to achieve that at-home feeling, anywhere i go. It worked out great. Tomorrow it'll be Larry and dwm. Can't go wrong with that one either.

With @… you gotta daily-check those repo's. Updated KDE liveslak, updated window manager goodies, updated testing (minimal KDE, with homebrew, flatpak and distrobox): on a roll!

Junkies are Waiting for the Man (cf. Lou Reed).
Not so with @… and his Niri and DankMaterialShell repos.
The Goodies have landed already 🥳
So: Niri 25.11 and DankMaterialShell 1.0 in full action on Slackware Current.

Scrot of the settings window for DankMaterialShell 1.0 on the Niri windowmanager. And the config file of Niri in an adjacent window of Geany. All on Slackware Current!

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.

But with one keybind it scrolls as well 🤓
Slackware Current, MangoWC, DankMaterialShell, another fine production by @…

I'm suffering from distro-hop burnout. Slackware is too good.

Actually, with Slackware Tilers (Sway, Niri and River) and my laptop with VoidLinux and DWM all my computer needs are taken care of. Other setups have hardly been touched the last couple of weeks.
Will 2026 be the year to do more with less?
