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?

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.

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.

If you are still dual booting, btrfs has a very good windows driver. Btrfs is newer and only recently started becoming the default on a couple mainline OSes. Ext4 has been around forever and is assumed to be much more stable.

Fwiw, I’ve been using btrfs for the last 18 months or so without any issue. I don’t use any of the tools. There’s no obvious or immediate performance difference like there was in the old days. We’re all on SSDs now and they’re fast no matter what.

I’m in over my head a little bit. I’ve got an old desktop converted to a server running proxmox. But I can’t ssh into it or access the web interface. It’s obnoxious.

I use it with real debrid and a vpn. I have it on a few android TV devices. I need the ease of use for my luddite wife and 5 year old.

I never considered the re-seeding issue until now. Do the debrid servers not re-seed?

I’m working on a homelab and will eventually try to set up jellyfin, but this is a work in progress.

Distro-hop? Never. But getting something to work is way more satisfying to me than using that thing. (Slackware user since late 90s, recently diagnosed with adhd)

Slackware users won’t! At least not so far.

Or, kick it old school with reiserFS

Oh sweet child
