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

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…

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?

Once you Slack off, there's a lot to do ;-)

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.
#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

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

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 Slackware is outdated.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

It's that day again, Saturday....
Updates for Brave, Fresh and Vivaldi available!

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

With 4 updates (bottom, fresh-editor, librewolf and vivaldi) it's impossible to keep on reclusing 🤣 See y'all next month!

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

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.
#slackware

So much for being crusty.
Slackware Current, kernel 7.0.10 and Plasma 6.7 beta 2 (6.6.91).
Thnks @… 🍻 🥳
#slackware #kde

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.
#slackware #riverwm

Time for Saturday's updates: new versions of fresh-editor and brave-origin-beta are available at:
#slackware

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

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/…

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

Wednesday's updates have landed, including the latest Librewolf 152.0.2-1, published just 6 hours ago. Gotta love that sync!
#slackware
https://codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/slackosun…

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 🤓

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

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

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.

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

I was trying out Gnome, then this happened:
