  • Slackware users!

    From Gamgee@1:135/115 to All on Fri Dec 22 19:49:00 2023
    Hello all,

    Just wondering how many other Slackware users are out there! I've been
    using it for 20+ years now, and of course have tried many others, but... always come back. I have a couple of "test" boxes that I play with other distros on, but all my main/daily stuff is running under Slackware64 15.0.

    Who else out there is a Slacker?! ;-)

    Slackware 15.0 x86_64 here also; been using Slackware since 10.0 or so. These days I play with other distros in VMs, and I do have a Devuan Daedalus machine running for testing MBSE under Debian-style distros.

    Excellent. I need to take a look at that Devuan myself. I find Debian
    (and offshoots) interesting, especially one that doesn't use systemd...

    This is precisely the reason I went with Devuan for my Debian-style test machine.

    You can remove systemd from any debian based system quite easily and install any manager you like. I usually do.

    ... A social life? Where can I download that!?

    Devuan is pretty cool. I used it a couple of times.
