Does Unraid count? It's based on Slackware and I'm adding a few extra Slackware packages.
Unraid is kinda slackware in a straightjacket
I remember using slapt-get when I used Slackware and that alleviated most of this sort of issue. Is that not still a thing?
Slackware was my first distro coming from Windows. I would get so frustrated when I wanted to install some software and I had to download it, open the cli, run some commands, check for dependencies, etc. I thought it was completely idiotic. Why couldn't you just click on the file and install it. I thought, "no wonder no one uses Linux."
Then a friend showed me slapt install, slapt update, and slapt upgrade. It was absolutely amazing. I wondered why Windows was so far behind.
There they fixed it!... sorta 😬
Running Slackware as your daily is great for learning about linux.
Although I haven't used it in about 12 years. Is it still like this?
I think Slackware has not changed much
Ports?
Surprised this isn’t an ubuntu meme, with how much Lemmy hates that distro.
It is not entirely unjustified
And not just Lemmy, most of the Linux user base.
I use Arch btw
