Re: Slackel update malaise
Slackel is on sourceforge.net which is free. Sourceforge has its rules. Do not allow cron etc. Slackel do not have financial resorces for having its own server. It is a miracle that Slackel still exists since 2005. As a long-time Slackel user, I can tell such minor issues happen sometimes, and they...

Re: Salix Xfce 15.0 is released!
I have been a Salix user since 2012. Started out with the Ratpoison edition just to feel like a pro :lol: XFCE after that. Just upgraded with a new old HP laptop, and gave Slackware KDE a spin before I installed the latest Salix 15.0 XFCE. For me, this is all I need and want for a home PC. A big th...

Re: Cheers from a Devuan User
what makes Thunar a keeper for being being that you can add user custom actions (UCA). ... It is still limited to two panels, but it's definitely an improvement over PCManFM in my book If you liked Thunar's UCAs you will like Worker even more, because it has a lot more of those, plus the ability to...

Re: Adding More Retro Gaming Emulators to Salix
I have zero experience about the consoles those emulators are about. And even if I knew about those consoles, emulators typically require hardware ROMs to "boot", not to mention the game ROMs themselves to actually use the whole thing. However, after a quick look: Snes9x provides binaries ...

Re: Cheers from a Devuan User
Now, if ONLY SpaceFM was still be developed, I could stop using Thunar once and for all. ;) Thunar lacks functionality. PCManFM is better, but still lacks things I use on a daily basis - not to mention any file manager that needs a mouse to work is slow to use by design. I prefer a simpler, lightwe...

Re: Cheers from a Devuan User
antiX is a decent choice if you want an even more minimal system than Devuan, but I find that the vanilla approach is best when rebasing, and my politics do not agree with its "philosophy". I'm not sure what you mean, but if you mean what I think you do, I have to say you don't judge a di...

Re: Cheers from a Devuan User
After getting fed up with the whole Systemd thing, my next best plan was to switch over to Devuan, a really stable, Systemd-free version of Debian with (in my opinion) better defaults. I've been using it straight-up since then, having my needs completely met, and then some. Debian refugee, I salute...

Re: Hello!
Ho Goltrek, and welcome! Old Debian user here as well. More than eight years ago, when dodging systemd in Debian-Testing was becoming impossible, I decided I had enough so I looked for another distro. After a long research, and after trying several distributions, I ended up with Salix - and never lo...
