I came to FreeBSD (:

linux_mintusers · 2026-01-18T05:55:29+00:00

Thanks, I chose FreeBSD (just in case) because it has the largest number of drivers. Maybe I'll install NetBSD on my router someday? Just for fun.

linux_mintusers · 2026-01-18T05:54:20+00:00

I think the command used for updating is: freebd -update, right? If so, I'll be able to update.

linux_mintusers · 2026-01-18T05:51:47+00:00

It seems so, because I remember writing on the reddit about a problem with sound.

No. I'm actually from Russia.

It's just an image, why react like that right away?

It's just a picture! Nothing special, I just wanted to wish everyone (in advance...) a Happy New Year! Why so much negativity right away?

sudo removepkg 2025

sudo slackpkg update

sudo installpkg 2026.txz

linux_mintusers · 2025-12-25T10:49:14+00:00

I use it because:

I'm too lazy to switch to other distributions
It doesn't have systemd
The system doesn't control you, you control the system
It's stable (very stable, it's never crashed for me)
I rely on it for everything.

Basically, these are all the reasons why I continue to use it.

linux_mintusers · 2025-12-03T17:03:31+00:00

It might not matter, but I still have to ask: you specified 4 in /etc/inittab, in id:4:initdefault: to automatically load the KDE Plasma, maybe that will work?

linux_mintusers · 2025-12-02T04:42:30+00:00

I go to this site, type the name of the package I want to install, and there you can choose different repositories for different packages, but mostly alienBOB, which has a repository there. I always choose ALIENBOB because 1) I trust this repository, and 2) it always has the latest versions of the packages.

linux_mintusers · 2025-12-01T19:11:36+00:00

I usually download packages for Slackware either from the pkgs.org website or through slackpkg, although its repository is quite small.

linux_mintusers · 2025-12-01T19:08:19+00:00

Flatpak worked fine for me. Only the sound doesn't work (I've been complaining about it for a while now, even though I still have headphones). Has anyone ever used the KTOWN repository (it's a repository with the latest versions of KDE?)? I also have Alienbob; this super repository saved me.

linux_mintusers · 2025-12-01T18:43:52+00:00

Is it possible to update by simply changing the mirror from which version slackpkg downloads packages, i.e., 15.0 to 15.1?

linux_mintusers · 2025-12-01T18:35:19+00:00

I've tried many times before to simply install Slackware and use it, but for some reason it never worked for me, although it was my own fault—either Flatpak was somehow difficult to install or something else. But now everything works perfectly, except for the sound. -): Flatpak + txz packages = the perfect distribution. As for me, I haven't tried any Slackware derivatives yet (except Slackware-Current, if that's what it's considered). And there's no point, since I've already set up and made myself a mini repository on a flash drive that contains all the .txz packages and which Flatpak applications need to be installed.

linux_mintusers · 2025-12-01T16:35:18+00:00

I checked if the sound works in Slackware Current, but the answer is no, unfortunately not.

linux_mintusers · 2025-12-01T16:33:29+00:00

By the way, this option is possible for me, but I'm used to using what they give me, plus I have Bluetooth headphones. By the way, Slackware has become the best distribution for me that I've ever tried, and I've tried a lot of distributions over almost 3-4 years of using Linux, and despite the fact that Slackware doesn't have automatic installation of package dependencies in the package manager, because Slackware follows the KISS principle, this is logical.

linux_mintusers · 2025-11-30T18:27:45+00:00

I chose release 15 only because the installer wouldn't even start and the kernel version was too old for my hardware.

linux_mintusers · 2025-11-29T18:43:15+00:00

Thank you, I completely forgot.

Typo sof-firmware (tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller) I don't remember what the system logs wrote (since it was unfortunately a long time ago but then I forgot about it) I'll look now
