This week's Gang of Four (the distro's/spins I use) will be Slackware KDE by @jloc0 , Idefix (my immutable Fedora with hyprland nwg-shell by @nwgpiotr ), NixBook by @codemonkeymike and Gentoo dwm, inspired by @dobbie003 . I like to use spins and take inspiration from fellow FOSS'ers. It makes for great experiences and conversation. You can't go wrong.
After weeks of little maintenance needed for my #SBo #slackbuilds, suddenly had four releases this week :
- #dracut #dracut-ng 107
- #keychain 2.9.0 & 2.91.1, first releases in 7 years, #danielrobbins back
- #mbuffer 20250429
- #openzfs 2.3.2
Decided to fire up my old #PinePhone and upgrade #postmarketOS Plasma Edition to the latest release as of today. Using the #Slackware laptop to SSH into it and perform the upgrade because "there be dragons."

so much #slackware from OSL
Potentially bad news for Open Source projects like #Slackware that use OSUOSL as their primary mirror server: https://osuosl.org/blog/osl-future/
I pushed changes to sddm, if you choose to overwrite the conf, it will now default to use kwin_wayland and on tty7. Been working well for me, let me know of any issues yall be havin. #kde6 #slackware
Here are my notes about running #firejail on #Slackware #Linux to isolate Web browser applications and don’t let them access my precious data.
