I use unbound with pi-hole inside an Ubuntu lxc container. No additional device needed.

Slackpkg or slackpkg+, without a doubt.

I have bazzite on my daughter’s machine. I still had to enable compatibility for other titles. It’s not a huge deal if you know it’s there, but it can be a stumbling block for someone testing the waters.

Valve needs to enable Proton by default.

Slackware!

If it’s a steal, buy it and try it. Worst case, you could turn a small profit by reselling it.

May i see the output of neofetch?

You delicious bastard! Thanks for the rook tip.

I too was a bit underwhelmed by sway. I also bought an amd gpu, but I don’t regret it. I couldn’t get Wayland to work at all on my 3060 ti.

Compiz fusion! I spent so long trying out different effects for different actions. I smoked a lot of reefer in those days.

I’ve used slackware more or less exclusively since the late 90s. It’s been my daily driver since I deleted my windows XP partition some time in the early 00s. It’s really all I know. Sure, I can find may way around a .deb based system when I have to. I’m also likely to apt install something, say yes to 50 dependencies, brick my system and have no idea what did it.

I love to tinker, and I love to learn. There’s no shortage of either in Slackware, and that’s why it’s not for everyone. And I don’t mean that in an “i use arch btw” way. I’m an intermediate user at best. I ask for help way more than I provide help. Lucky for me I’ve made some good friends in the Slackware community over the years.

I used linux all through the years I should have been in college, but was instead a hopeless drug addict. I regret nothing!!!

…apart from the drugs…

…and not going to college…

NBA jam, tag mode on.

Wow, you’re an ass. I bet I could update a dual monitor setup with different resolutions, refresh rates and positions with nvidia-settings faster than you can editing xorg.conf in vim. My point is that people should use the best tool for the job instead of stroking their superiority complex to prove a point.

slackware has been my daily driver since the late 90s. It still boots to CLI by default. I’m more than comfortable in a terminal emulator. I’m also fine with clicking on stuff. I don’t use portainer, but there’s nothing wrong with people who do.

Beautifully said. I can’t say I’ve come across too many GUI purists, but I’ve definitely been shamed by terminal absolutists who are fine with turning a 1 second process into a 10 second one. There’s a time and place for both.

Crack cocaine use is nothing to joke about.

i discovered it around the same time, but i forget how. It’s been my only daily driver since then. I can fumble my way through a .deb distro if I have to, but slackware is my comfort zone.

You should throw -current up on a distrohop partition and re-live your youth.

I’d be offended if I weren’t so busy managing my own dependencies.

I recommend slackware exclusively. Sometimes times it feels like I’m pissing into the wind.

What about neither and tailscale (free) on all your devices? Or are you often phoning home on outside devices?

I personally bought a domain name (namecheap) for my vps. Then I set up ddclient on my home pc to fetch my external IP every so often and update namecheap. But I didn’t feel it was secure enough. Tailscale is easier, and i feel like it adds a layer of security.
