I am burning Linux disks to give away to people!
why would you do something so evil?
>>101094859nicei assume they all have backdoored software, including a gcc that will poison software compiled with it with additional backdoorsyou wily devil, you
still have some old ubuntu and kubuntu discs from when they still shipped them out for free
>slackwareGive them something a little normie-friendly
computers can't read those anymore
>>101094986mine can
>>101094952the first distro i installed was gentoounless you want lvm, encryption, or some unusual setup, Slackware installation is mostly pressing Enter in the installer
>>101095000your computer must be 10 years old then
>>101094859>burning>give awayhow the fuck do you give it away if you're burning it?
Give them away to kids for Halloween. Save gen Alpha
>>101095100out of 10!
>>101095100picrel>>101095171>Save gen Alphaunsavable
>>101094859Give out Yuzu either on a USB or burned disk instead
>>101094859nothing tainted by systemd, i hope
It has begun to be quite a few... I wonder if they will become anything. Maybe the next big website like Facebook.
>>101095171This is actually a hilarious idea and I will try doing it sometime
>>101094859>iso with no patch for XY Utils installedGood Job My Boy, Good Job!
>>101095468it's like giving kids your mixtape for halloween
>>101095081setting up lvm+luks is straightforward for me with these guideshttps://blog.edie.io/2019/06/16/slackware-lvm-over-luks/https://blog.aktsbot.in/slackware-install-lvm-luks.htmlskipping lilo/elilo and using grub was tedious to do
that's piracy
who the fuck even has a disk drive in their desktop/laptop these days?
>2024>DVD-R disks
>>101095723mine's an external unit, i dust it off maybe twice a year when i feel like watching a dvd
>>101095723kindly see >>101095222, retard
>>101095936Who the fuck has an external optical drive? For what purpose? I haven't seen one of them in like 15 years.
>>101095936if that's your solution, just putting the distro on usb storage in the first place would be way cheaper
>>101095948>Who the fuck has an external optical drive? literally millions of people>For what purpose? installing Slackware from DVD>I haven't seen one of them in like 15 years.you haven't seen a pussy in 15 years (i.e. at your birth), but that doesn't mean nobody has one
>>101095976>you haven't seen a pussy in 15 years (i.e. at your birth), but that doesn't mean nobody has oneI literally just licked my wife's. Cope.
>>101095952>if that's your solution,i don't need a solution, because i don't have a problemtry to understand what's happening here
>>101095976Millions of people have a fetish for eating shit but that doesn't make it a solid recommendation on sheer numbers alone. I could give a fuck what the BRs and chinks are doing in their third world computing scenarios. There's no reason to have optical drives in TYOOL 2024 in the West.
>>101096004>doesn't make it a solid recommendationnobody's making a recommendationthe question was asked>Who the fuck has an external optical drive? the answer is millions of people; these drives are still mass manufactured and sold new, refurbished, and used on major websites and in retail storesi wouldn't recommend someone buy one or not buy one, because i don't give a fucklearn to follow a simple conversation, dimwit
>>101094859LMAO, 99% of those would get thrown away, especially since almost no one has optical drives anymore
>>101094859How many people use optical drives in 2024? I don't even have a PC that has an optical drive in it.
>>101096233No, 100% will get thrown away.
>slackware isslackware is what? SLACKWARE IS WHAT, WHAT THE FUCK IS IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i am NOT inserting a dvd from a complete stranger that says "it is totally slackware bro trust me" into my pc
>>101094859>>101095976MILLIONS MUST INSTALL LINUX
>>101094859>slackwarego to bed, grandpa
>>101094859Aw sweet, free coasters.
I remember when you could buy Linux as a boxed retail product. Got Mandrake and SuSE that way. Also Books and Magazines used to come with Linux cds.
>>101094859salt water 15 is my fav distro
Better try usb sticks. Go for 8 or 16 GB ones
>>101095948I bought one to watch my Azumanga Daioh! DVDs
>>101094859no one but hardware enthusiasts still has an optical drive
>>101094859Make a drone that delivers a solar powered RasPi running ipxe that will install Linux on any computer that is netbooted. Drop of those solar powered RasPi's at every coffee shop. Someone is bound to network boot by mistake. Dont add a menu or delay, just instantly install Linux.
>>101094859>>101095303Thats cool! Are you burning any other distros besides slackware?
>>101094859This is fucking stupidYou shouldn't be teaching people to trust software from random CDs. You should teach people the opposite: that they shouldn't trust random CDs that could contain malware.Also teach people to download Linux from reputable sources (e.g. the official websites of distros). If they don't have an internet connection in 2024 then, well, they're never going to do anything interesting with their computer anyway, so who cares what OS they use.
>>101094859>physicalsovl
>>101099737>muh secuuuuritysouless, you securitards killed internet
>>101094859Cool
>>101094859You’re a pedophile trying to get close to children.
my first linux distribution was Slackware, installed from floppy disksyep *crack*
Thread full of zoomers. I still burn CDs regularly, I hate touching my phone or screens while driving.
>>101094859you are a retarded autist and you won't give it to anyone. no one even has DVD players anymore.
>>101095100>goyim, just throw away old hardware>why?>because..... just do itwhy are jews like this?
>>101096004>THERES NO REASON TO OPEN BOOKS GOY. YOU CAN GET ALL THE MEDIA YOU NEED FROM THE CLOUD.seriously, kill yourself. people like you, you are a danger to society. there is absolutely nothing wrong with having various drives or utilizing old storage containers.
>>101095081 any linux installation, aside from the newbie friendly GUI installers, are just copying and pasting commands from a wiki anyway. You're no smarter than the average person.
>>101094859
>>101100489you overestimate the computer operating capability of the average person
>>101100208Used to share burn and share CDs with a friend, but didn't often decorate them fully with marker, just a little flair. He's dead now and I've lost any of the CDs we had.
>>101094952Nah, trial by fire!>>101095301No systemd on Slackware 15!>>101099294Nope, if it don't run slack I am taking it back!>>101099737I am not "teaching" people to do anything. They either know how to use these or they don't.>>101100208Based.>>101100229I just gave 12 disks to my friend in a cybsec program!Anyways, I am partly thinking this may create a market for sysadmin. If people end up running and installing this, they may need to ask me for help, and I could charge! Also, the disks are just the stock iso and people may check the image hash to see that it matches if they would like to.
