I used to be Slackware user. Then I sold my soul to RedHat, then to Debian...

I just installed Slackware after reading your message to see what is new, here are my findings:

  • There is still no auto install. I had to manually configure a lot of things using a terminal based fdisk and setup.

  • The default package manager, pkgtool, does not have a default way to auto install packages from web (something like yum, apt, up2date). It only installs from your own HDD.

  • The other tool for managing packages, slackpkg, was not installed on my system by default.

  • The default configuration for X and KDE has problems on my system. I can see the mouse move then nothing.

I can understand why somebody would like to play around with this kind of system as a fun/entertainment/puzzle solving in their free time. On the other hand, if you plan to run some kind of microservices architecture on this, then I wish you best of luck finding a new job once you are fired.

If you don't mind me asking, how much does it cost to run all of the servers?

Come to the Debian side, it's all unicorns and rainbows here 🥳🦄

Peter Norvig and LISP.

Then I learned Haskell on my own.

The worst case of this I heard was a crypto developer that lost 300k$ of clients money when he accidentally pushed some crypto keys to GitHub public repository. Last I heard he was getting sued.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you not like systemd? I like it a lot and in my humble opinion it makes life really easy.
