>owner of the project vehemently against systemd

>all linux software now practically depend on systemd

>also linux kernels moving against slack philosophy

I went back to Windows. Linux became a worse Windows.

Not my problem. Hurd works just fine. I've heard good things about BSD too.

Slackware will only die when Patrick dies
Also being against systemd is a good thing
>>
>>109701267

No, it fucking doesn't. Even its webpage says as much.
>>
>>109701267
Proof that hurd works at all? I would love to move to hurd if so.

Somehow PCLOS, Devuan, MX Linux, Antix, Artix, Guix, Peppermint, Chimera, and many others, continue to function.

Slack is too hard for nu/g/. Nu/g/ can barely install Ubuntu with AI guiding them through it.

>>109705055
Has been the case for over 13 years now.

I wanted to try the other day, until I learned that the default install didn't even use grub but lilo. this thing was already obsolete when I started tinkering 10 years ago
>>
>>109704391
t. never used any of them

Devuan is rock solid and works better than Debian at this point

>>109705325
How much do you get paid per post? It has yet to produce a single working installer.
>>
>>109705333
works on my machine

>>109705333
i've installed Devuan in virtual machines, on a 20 year old laptop, on a 3 year old cheap laptop, and on a brand new Dell laptop, and the installation has gone fine every time
if you've had trouble, sounds like a PEBKAC issue

>>109705542
yes, a community-run project is paying people to shill their for-free operating system on a board full of retards on a dying website in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty six
you're a deep thinker, anon
>>
>>109701244
What even depends on systemd? gnome? It's been kicked from the slackware repo for ages, just use kde
>>
>>109705782
So, $0.5 per post?
>>
>>109701244
They have at least one developer who wants Slackware to use systemd. He is the one who made the change from ConsoleKit2 to elogind for the 15.0 release.
>>
>>109701244

openbsd already exists and its miles better than any loonix distro

I hate FOMO zoomers. Your motive is the reason we get Rust shoved down our throats.я

>>109709109
It's more like cargo cult than fomo

>>109709118
the lead developer himself said so. why don't you go complain to him instead of busting my balls? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973850

>>109709195
Congrats, you're retarded.

last time i tried the release was ancient and alien live iso one was unrecognizable to me. The system comes with tons pf bullshit probably because of qt5/6 plasma bullshit desktop. Slackware is install everything and a kitchen sink, so when you import something as big as plasma you get absolute bloat. I was so annoyed when O saw fuckton of rc scripts and sysv scripts at that - something brought sysv compat which broke chmod style rc files management - it seemed that sysv literally became init or something which is NOT Slackware way of init scripts management! At that point I just given up on turning off unnecessary init scripts. Later I needed to build something from slackbuilds and it fucked itself bad spectacularly. The scripts are made for 15.0 and that rolling release live system is too detached from that point release rendering slackbuilds useless. At that point I just given up completely on it. Slackware was good when it had an actual release from Patrik. Alien BOB live system sucks dicks.
