So after accidentaly using Arch for 5 months, and then accidentally using Gentoo for 7 months
|
|
(It was supposed to be 1 month per distro, but life happened and didn't have the time and peace of mind for a switch)
|
|
Today I'm finally hopping to Slackware
|
|
I love the setup's retro/classic ncurses gui <3,@retoor As promised, I edited O'Caml onto it. There was no space horizontally so I took the liberty to write it vertically on his neck instead.
|
|
Also made a version where the O'Caml letters look like Hebrew-style letters but I suck at drawing so it looks kinda meh.,I need to finally learn CMAKE at some point
|
|
I've been using make for many years now and it's good enough for me so I never bother with trying CMAKE but I can't be lazy forever,Needed to show dad something on my PC, realized I needed to install something, was about to.
|
|
Dad: "Which Linux are you even using?"
|
|
Me: (Oh boy) "Ummm, currently I'm on Slackware... 😬 😅"
|
|
I can literally see the intense pain forming on his face as he copes with it, takes like a minute to recover from the mental damage I just inflicted on him and fucking yells (paraphrasing)"Slackware?!?! Really?? That is literally the first Linux I used back in *1993*" in a semi-desperate tone of surprise.
|
|
So yeah, that was funny. Gave my poor dad emotional damage today.
|
|
|
|
I am, SO sorry, dad xD,Context/Prev: https://devrant.com/rants/12530035

Well, my time with Slackware is nearing it's end.
|
|
It's quite an interesting one, I could really feel it's age, tiny mirrors into the past are thrown around here and there between the modern stuff, reminding you just how ancient this distro actually is. It's really unique (in a good way).
|
|
Compiling software to install/update kinda sucks tho, and compared to Gentoo you have less control over the compilation and the options.
|
|
The installation was VERY simple and easy, you can definitely see how it became popular back in the day for being an "Easy to install SLS", and to this day it was THE fastest install I have ever seen from a distro, took literally minutes, was surprised.
|
|
I also love the ncurses look that keept popping up every now and then, I like the ncurses TUI style.
|
|
It was a pretty fun experience.

Next: OpenMandriva.,"Any language is memory safe if you don't give a shit anymore"
