  I guess now that gdm, gnome-shell, & gnome-session have been updated for 51 I should start updating gnome slackbuilds.... I'm always waiting for the day where it just doesn't work anymore, but that day never comes. 🤣

  @inlovewithpda@chaos.social I don’t remember if Debian disabled os-prober or not, but check /etc/default/grub and make sure it runs os-prober and as root run “update-grub” on the main system. If correct, it should show all the kernels for each install and at a reboot should offer both installations.

  @mwl@io.mwl.io depends on the scent. I prefer lavender if so.

  I'd not been able to get bazaar to play nice on slackware, so I figured if I have Plasma Discover instead, I don't need it anyway. I included niri and it boots to sddm but DMS needs configured before use, so in a plasma session you can run "dms setup" to configure that, then logout and choose niri and you'll have DMS going like a champ then. Its not a production ready system, things might not even install cleanly even, but it's a fully functioning toy, hooked in to my...

  The "LuckyCyborg" has released a Plasma 6.3.6 series of packages for #slackware 15.0. https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/building-the-plasma6-for-slackware-15-0-stable-in-the-ktown-style-a-build-based-on-the-alienbob%27s-ktown-4175764168/ Bravo to him for seeing it thru but damn that looks like a mess.

  I had re-done and cleaned up the sloppy mess I made last fall for plasma 6 on 15.0 but after looking at it a second time, I realized there was plenty of things one should avoid on a stable system, so I just left it alone. It was fun to see it running but it seemed counter-productive to put time into such an old release at this point. But the full experience is out there now for anyone running #slackware 15.0.

  I had reported that wifi on the pinebookpro had gone poof on kernel 6.18 series packages on slackware. As a way to sidestep missing wifi I'd built my own 6.12 kernels from an old config I'd found I had backed up. Went I went to test/compare modules and such today and re-upgraded to kernel 6.18.... wifi just worked. Of course that would happen, makes total sense to me wifi just randomly works again. In hindsight, what should I expect from a $200 laptop? 🫠

  Ok, I'll be uploading the #ktown aarch64 updates shortly, but in the meantime I should at least mention yesterday I did upload the latest 150.0.2 releases of #firefox & #librewolf for #slackwareaarch64. Anyone using the repos in a normal fashion would have gotten those updates by now, but if you just pull a things manually, well, I didn't mention it so maybe you didn't know. And of course, since they aren't even mentioned on my website, you may not know I...

  #Hyprland 0.55.0 is now available within the #slackaroni repository along with various rebuilds following an update for the required #hyprutils as well. Cheers! I'll push arm64 packages soon for the minority of people not only using #slackware but #slackwareaarch64 and using my repos (this has to be like 3 people ;) https://slackware.lngn.net/#hyprwm

  @thesaigoneer @dobbie003 gentoo just complicates building things from source for me. Like it’s compiling programs with training wheels. I imagine everything has a “use flag” but unless you have mapped out where you’re going, you’ll likely end up in a world of hurt if it’s not quite the detailed map. But I guess that’s where the nerd-ism comes in. 🤓

  @thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizza @dobbie003@fosstodon.org yeah I won’t use Fedora. Not a fan of it, red hat, or rpm (PTSD from late 90s). I have Debian “bananas” installed which hasn’t been booted in prob a year now but it worked fine too. The gentoo guys are directly involved in Asahi, so it’s a wise choice if wanting to install. I just lack the dedication to learn gentoo. 😂

  @thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizza @dobbie003@fosstodon.org Fedora is the main asahi distro. But there’s flavors for gentoo, Debian, arch, void, maybe even alpine by now. I used to have slackware running but I lack dedication to a single platform and basically no one cared. lol But yeah most M1/2 machines are all supported and it runs great. Would recommend.

  I really need to pick up a cheap ssd some day, the onboard emmc is absolutely terrible. It works, but makes the system 10 times slower than it actually is. This is almost a usable system, as long as I don't open more than 3 things and completely forget about browsing the web. 😜

  I've uploaded #libreoffice 26.2.3 & #firefox 150.0.1 along with some #hyprwm updates and rebuilds to match for a download heavy update to #slackaroniaarch64 today. https://slackware.lngn.net

  I updated the #crux port overlay for #lxqt to the latest 2.4.0 release. To use the overlay, one needs to add the 'kde-plasma-6' overlay and then 'lxqt' on top of that. Of course, LXQt supports many WMs, from openbox, xfwm4, to all the latest Wayland compositors like hyprland, kwin_wayland, sway, and even niri, as seen in the attached screenshot. https://codeberg.org/jlngn/lxqt

  @thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizza I drink my hot coffee black but cold is another story. Cold is jarring, i need sugar for that. 🤣

  I finally got around to updating my #xfwl4 port for #crux and testing it out to see how things are coming along and it gave me a full xfce desktop right off the bat. Didn’t expect that. Things are a little off yet, but it is functioning. Impressive, most impressive.

  So when I'd updated the OBS packages for arm64 I'd noticed that screen recording wasn't working in gnome but worked fine in plasma. So it appears the gnome session isn't starting pipewire properly any longer, as no sound device is registered. I guess I overlooked that since I prefer silence, seems I need to look into this issue. #slackaroni

  I feel like this is a trap…
