I call it butter fuss. Yours is better.

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

The garden city!

Think of the quarterly profits, won’t someone please think of the shareholders?!?

I’ve been on slackware almost exclusively for 2 decades-ish. I’m team kde. I always liked it, but I had shitty hardware from like 2010 - 2020, so I was on xfce because it’s a lot lighter. But I always had kde installed so I could use some of their native apps.

3rd, but I recommend getting the kde variety (used to be called kubuntu). This will give you the most windows like experience. Regular Ubuntu ships with gnome and has a different feel to it.

Also, gnome suxxxxxxxxxxx! There, I said it!

Probably linux mint. Everything tends to work out of the box and function the way you’d expect. If you’re used to windows then cinnamon will have a familiar feel to it. I like xfce myself, but I move things around to make it feel like windows 95.

You’d probably end up having to explain citizens united to her during your handjob.

KDE comes with its own office suite. I’ve always preferred libre office so I don’t have much experience with it, but it’s there.

Ahoy!

Come say hi at ##seven on libera.chat if you are so inclined. We’re a group of wild slackers who all met on the main irc channel.

Holy crap, how did I forget that existed? I would use that for complex stuff like vlc back in the day.

I’ve not heard of ROCm, but I think I get the gist. It’s something like Cuda for AMD?

Are you going to upload and maintain it if you get it working?

Are you your own dependency manager too?

Some day I’m going to get someone in one of these “what distro should I try?” posts to install slackware and fall in love with it.

In a word: yarrrrr

Now that’s presidential!

That’s actually next on my list to check out.

Armbian is a really cool project. So is batocera. I have a few SBCs to play with.

Nah, I’m just a hobbyist. I’m a n00b compared to all the regulars in the slackware channel on IRC. But I love tinkering and learning. I’d need your help to install vanilla arch, just like you’d probably need mine to get started on slackware. (The slackware install is actually super easy).

I’ve been trying to distrohop the past couple months, see what else is out there. I wasn’t paying attention installing Garuda and borked my EFI partition. I did manage to chroot into my still working slackware partition, but I couldn’t figure out how to re-install grub. So I formatted and did a fresh slackware install.

Haha, I’ve been daily driving slackware since the late 90s. I like to tinker and install a lot of stuff. I seem to break anything with an automated package manager and dependency resolution.

How can it be both the year of ARM and the year of the linux desktop?
