I’m not a student, I got a full time job =P

Only for 3rd party repos, but for main updates, I use slackpkg since it automatically prompts me for updating configs and all that.

You’ll also be probably shocked to hear that i’m a Slackware user in their 20’s =P

Been using Slackware going on 3 years now.

KDE was an example, but a lot of other things come out of the box with Slackware. And of course, that package isn’t a thing that comes out of the box.

Regular Slackware user here.

The biggest reason I use Slackware personally is that it’s the only distro I’d consider a “full system” out of the box. What that means, is that I install it, and I don’t really install much outside of the repos.

For example, the kde set comes with pretty much every KDE app. I do mean all of them. With other distros, I either have to go hunting for what packages are named what in the repos and spend hours getting everything setup and installed. While on Slackware, I pick the partitions, install, and I have a full desktop with everything I could possibly need.

Some would say “Oh, but that would take a lot of disk space.”, and funny thing about that, is with BTRFS compressio enabled. A full install of Slackware is only 4gb =P

If you go down the VPS route, a headscale server on a cheap $3.50 VPS would be the way to go. Wouldn’t even have to deal with IP addresses at that point, while still being able to self-host all your services, with the cheap VPS being a glorified switch/firewall.

I bought it back when it was in early access. The main hate is how long it took to develop, and how many bugs it has/had.

The most recent time I played it, about a year and a half ago. You were able to wheely a motorcycle up a skyscraper. Zombies would randomly clip through things, the physics would bug out and loot on the ground would kill you from nudging it, sometimes you were able to just ride through buildings, and the multiplayer lag was abysmal. Just to name a few things.

I could go on, but for a game that’s been in development for 10 years, it barely shows it.

They’re moving to ZIP Disks!

Follow this, it’s a known issue, but is fixed in the bleeding edge branch of Proton: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7486#issuecomment-2174772421

Desktop: Windows Vista Home -> Windows 7 Home -> CentOS 7 -> Debian 8 -> Arch Linux -> OpenSUSE Leap 15 -> Debian 10 -> Slackware

Slackware is probably where i’ll be for the rest of my time on Linux, as unlike other distros, I have no major complaints.

I’ve always hosted stuff at home, even as a kid, so for my homeserver:

Server: Windows XP Pro -> Windows 7 Pro -> CentOS 7 -> CentOS 8 -> Artix Linux -> NetBSD -> OpenBSD -> SmartOS

I don’t miss the days of using WAMP on windows lol

Oh, it’s worse than blocking certain wifi cards, it blocks all wifi cards except what came with the laptop. I mispoke when I called it a blacklist, it’s a whitelist.

You can find good used Dell Latitude’s on ebay for pretty cheap. I’d avoid thinkpads as they have wifi-card blacklists on them.

Slackware with it’s Xfce session would be pretty good

He basically pulled a Linus Tech Tips, and i’m all for it! It worked out great for them as LTT became way higher quality afterwards, so I don’t doubt this will work out for Arrowhead too

I’ve done it before. It’s not particularly difficult, just very time consuming. And at the end, you’re left with a distribution that’s not really that useful without repackaging everything you did into a package manager so you can do updates without borking it.

Great as a learning tool to see how the whole GNU/Linux stack works, but not something you’d use practically.

Gnome breaking shit for no reason as always =P

Seriously, this is as simple as keeping symbolic links for compatibility, but they won’t do it because it maybe might possibly lead to issues.

Eh, you can host a gitea instance on a $3.50 VPS pretty easily. I don’t think money will be an issue when it comes to hosting and serving.

It’s not tor, it’s supposed to be it’s own anonymizing network since tor doesn’t support UDP or something.
