I think Slackware's reputation for being difficult dates back to the 90s when all linux was difficult. Slackware has evolved just like everyone else, just differently. It's easy to install, and works like any other kde plasma based distro if you choose the default full install.

The two biggest differences are no systemd and package management. Slackpkg functions somewhat like apt-get, but only for official packages and updates. Everything else can be installed with slackbuild scripts that can be automated with sbopkg. This process is similar to using the AUR with a helper like yay. And I have some flatpaks installed too.

Same, except I bought the domain through namecheap

I use a microSD to usb adapter and have 2 spinning rust disks. So it's /sdc for me, but i still always double check. Dd isn't called the disk destroyer for nothing.

The loyalists who replace the fired workers, duh!

Plug your usb drive in and run lsblk to figure out which letter to use instead of x in /dev/sdx

sudo dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=1M status=progress

EDIT: I totally didn't read your request. This is not gui or Mac based, but it still might help someone.

I should take another crack at sway. I didn't know about EOS. I started with nwg-shell.

Remember the first time you got a printer working in Linux? Better than sex....

Nope! Everything just works and it's rock solid. It's also been my daily driver for over 20 years.

I was doing a lot of tech support when my wife was on endeavouros and my daughter was on bazzite. Tbf, my problems with bazzite were probably down to me not understanding the immutable distro concept.

I'll probably finally get around to standing up an arr stack. RD is just too easy.

My other thought was "obnoxious American tourists," but the bacon thing sealed it.

Arch users are the sanctimonious vegans of the linux world. Bacon is delicious, and you are not special.

I was worried when I saw the news, but it's had next to no impact on me. I think I only found 1 or 2 streams removed, but the 720p versions were still up.

 

My 5 yo daughter officially loves graphic design! The app description says it's for children, but I had a blast playing with it too. The effects are really cool, and the sounds panning with the cursor is a nice touch.

Hold your downvotes people. I can't delete this post, and it seems image uploads are still down for the instance.

 

And guess what is on back order at every nearby pharmacy? I'll give you a hint: it's not the $300 per month name brand.

So I guess I switch to Adderall xr tomorrow?

 
 
 
 

of course this month steam catches me for the survey on my $100 microcenter special that i lovingly call "the craptop." but i still hit submit.

 

I finally found a use for an underpowered sbc I bought during the pandemic. I put Debian base, lightdm and sugar on it. It was a fun project for me. Hopefully it introduces a lifelong love of computers.

She already had a text to speech robot saying things like poopy, fart, butt stink and fire in the hole. The apple doesn't fall too far from the dingleberry.

I posted a picture of my little girl playing the slots yesterday. We had actually just come from an immediate care place. We told them she was starting a new UTI/kidney infection. She just got out of the hospital less than 2 weeks ago and has previous history with this problem.

These infections go from zero to 100. She'll go from no fever to 106+ in under an hour. So we were desperate for some help yesterday. The doctor listened to our story, looked at the chart, and decided she was fine.

Today we're back in the ER with another runaway infection. We came because we couldn't control the fever that blew up out of nowhere. She's being admitted and will be here for several days. We are exhausted and disheartened.

 

She was up $0.80 at one point, but chose to reinvest her winnings into more spins. This proved to be a strategic blunder, though, as she walked away penniless and disheartened about 15 seconds later.
