  • It does also have third party repos such as sbopkg. This does a bunch of the movement for you when installing packages though you still need to manually install dependencies, BUT If you also add sboui which is a front end package resolution for dependencies then the process is much faster. I like the stability of Slackware, and also because its helps me get better for when I try the BSD since its very much like them as well.




  • Its still going strong.

    Though there are a lot more tools.

    Still sysinit system and as reliable as ever on its stability.

    New things are stuff such as -sbopkg(can deploy slackbuilds a lot faster as it will sync, custom the slackbuilds scripts if you want, build and install applications[though you still have to install depenencies in there proper order])

    • Sboui gui style package management tool that will work with sbopkg and take care of the dependecy resolution for the applications you want to install(includes previous mentioned details of sbopkg)

    I can say even on me when i was new to using it, slackware is forgiving if you make mistakes.

    Alien bob still making modern packages to use as an alternative package resource if you want stuff like vlc, libreoffice and such that do not come with the default package resource.



  • As someone who works with tech, here is my 2 cents on basic knowledge.

    If your computer is “not working” restarting the computer can generally fix 80 percent of the issues. We are not trying to make you mad, this is literraly first thing I am doing if you present me a problem.

    Stop downloading things from unknown sources.

    Use generic effects/fonts on your powerpoint. Just because you bought something cool doesnt mean it will magically transfer when you pass your presnetation to another computer for your presentation. (Microsoft does not migrate your paid effects)

    For gamers Stop playing pvp on your pc/console on wifi, are you a mad?

    Everyone in general We are at an age of computers. Learn how to type, it will save you tremendous amount of time, literally.



  • Sorry for late reply

    For about 4 hours i beleive. Though it used to be longer as i have had it for over a year and the battery not like it used to be.

    Kde is the default desktop eviornment.

    It helps that its a non systemd init system so it doesnt pull as much resources on the backend since systemwide is controlled via scripts.

    If i were to run a lighter one such as xfce, qtile or dwm it would run longer(varies on configuration though)
