Don't ever say "slack" to me, expecting me to think of a horrid corporate chat system. Never used it, never want to.
Slack is Slackware. (Even though I've never used *that*, either. Someday!!)

@RL_Dane The Church of the Subgenius. A fake religion made to make fun of Scientology. The followers primary goal is to collect as much slack as possible through various means. Their figure head is a man named J.R. "Bob" Dobbs. He looks like a generic 1950s man smoking a pipe, and is the ultimate salesman. Slackware was named after the church.

@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org If you're on the fence because Slackware installs everything. I've been having a good time with Salix, which adds dependency management to Slackware while keeping the same feel =)

@RL_Dane I started using Linux on Slackware in 1995 Slack-the-messenger is what happens when Electron meets corporate bureaucracy

I've always had a soft spot for good old slackware, I've also never used it, but when I started out with linux it was the arch of those days :)

I used Slackware since 3.6 and then for many many years. Never referred to it as "slack" 😉 |
@RL_Dane This is the way.
