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

Help me choose a distro/stay on NixOS

Disclaimer: I know there’s a lot of questions and posts like this but generally they’re aimed at noobs. I consider myself an intermediate user, and I know generally distros don’t matter much and you can have anything another distro has on any distro but I’m looking for something a little “specific” that better suits...

Slackware current on btrfs for snapshots. Slackbuilds make the text go weeeeee, but the scripts will compile and build the package for you.

Plasma 6 hasn’t come over officially yet, but the main guy who put plasma together has a testing version out.

You could probably get the official proton app running, but I’m good with protonvpn-cli.

It’s been led by the same one dude since the early 90s. There’s nothing close to corporate about it. And there are great communities on IRC and matrix full of knowledgeable folks. And there’s linuxquestions.org too.

Thank you brave pioneers. I just felt confident to switch to btrfs last year.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

Streamio and RD are so easy that even my luddite wife can test all the linux distros she wants without my help.

I’m a long time slackware user, but I joined the party some time in 99 or 00.

I never had the pleasure of installing from floppies, but I did compile my own kernels to speed up boot time. Sometimes they would boot, sometimes they wouldn’t. That was part of the fun.

I’ve been on a retro kick lately. I have a pentium 200 mmx based machine that will eventually run a floppy installed slackware. Or at least it will if I can get it to work.

I’m doing trisquel on a sugar toast for my 5 year old and she loves it!

Everything has some sort of top:

Slacktop, craptop, proxtop, oldtop, wifetop, and batocera (because I keep forgetting to ssh in and change it).

Trump’s McDonald’s bill is big, but its prices have ballooned (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump’s appearance in criminal court on Monday has raised many questions, constitutional and otherwise, but on the evidence of the first day I find myself most curious about the former president’s McDonald’s order. During jury selection last week, the Daily Mail reported on a $700 (£560) McDonald’s order put in...

Not Mackey D’s, but I placed an order for $100 of taco bell recently. They were still making it when I got there. It was the manager and 2 employees busting their asses to crank out the order as fast as they could while a line was forming at the counter and drive through.

The manager brought me the food and apologized for the wait. I handed him 3 x $5 bills as thanks. I genuinely appreciated the service and wanted to say thanks.

I’m 40 now and have been in recovery for over 8 years. A lot of people in my old circles never stopped partying, and many of them aren’t with us any more. I feel like I see a new tribute popping up every couple weeks on social media. More of my friends are dying than my parents’ friends.

I had a 5600x on a b450 board with Kingston pc3600 too. I had no problems running xmp profiles and optimized defaults. If cool & quiet was enabled by default then I didn’t mess with it.

I rarely use suspend or hibernate, and I don’t encrypt my drives, so I can’t speak to those issues. But even though you say you don’t need the speed, I think you’ll be very pleased with this upgrade if you go through with it.

You’ve described capitalism and not the corporate socialism our pharmaceutical overlords get to enjoy. In many cases, the same company produces both the name brand and generic versions of a drug.

Not sure, I’ve only ever been on Adderall and Vyvanse. And I don’t like Adderall. I was diagnosed late in life and just started this journey about 1.5 years ago.

No reason here, other than the fact that it’s not slackware.
