I had been using Xubuntu for a some time.

Then I installed i3wm.
Then I made a shell script which installs all my rig from mini.iso
Then I migrate that script to Gentoo Stage 3.
Then I added also Openbox + tint2 configuration to my script.

I don't see any point anymore in using Xubuntu, if I move to a precompiled binaries distro, it will be Debian.

>slackware doesn't fix any bugs
What are you trying to claim exactly? Slackware doesn't add distro specific code, it focuses on using stable versions of it's packages which have already had many of their bugs worked out. This is only vague if you have no idea what you are talking about. The lack of distro specific code reduces the change for the introduction of new bugs, sticking to stable proven releases of packages means you get less buggy versions of the packages, the thorough testing the slackware under goes to ensure that the packages function well together ensures stability. It has a well earned reputation for being the most stable.

No, I said it's so stable because it doesn't add distro specific code, it focuses on using stable versions of it's packages which have already had many of their bugs worked out, and because each released is tested thoroughly for stability and only released when done as well as having it's entire design philosophy based around stability.

>Slackware is considered one of the cleanest and least buggy distributions available today - the lack of Slackware-specific enhancements reduces the likelihood of new bugs being introduced into the system.
>While this philosophy of simplicity has its fans, the fact is that in today's world, Slackware Linux is increasingly becoming a "core system" upon which new, custom solutions are built, rather than a complete distribution with a wide variety of supported software. The only exception is the server market, where Slackware remains popular,

If you had even so much as checked distrowatch you would have learned what I was saying is true. You are so lazy you don't even know the most basic of information about the oldest and one of the top distros for linux. Things you would have found within the first results on a search engine query.

Slackware is in the top 10 distributions. Now you are just reaching.

>yet to have a meaningful place in desktops or servers
It's still popular in both, especially servers. It's light weight versions of it distro are used in embedded systems. Now, they have an arm version of it too which will likely increase it's popularity in embedded systems.

LiLO works well, is fast, reliable, and easy to configure. Secondly if you have any idea what you are talking about you would know that you don't have to use lilo with slackware, it's just a loader you can use GRUB or any other one you want.

How are you making any claim to knowledge when you think Distros are tied to specific bootloaders?

That's not what abandonware is. It's less than a year old. How often do you think a bootloader needs updated? Did you even check the release cycle of lilo releases? Most of them are a year or more apart. You need to stop using words you don't know the meaning of.

1.) Xfce's window manager lacks the functionality to remember window positions, which is one of many reasons I don't use Xfce in the first place.
2.) Xubuntu's implementation of Xfce is possibly even more bloated than Gnome, which defeats the "lightweight" claim.
3.) *buntu botnet.

I don't even use DEs. No practical reason for a DE over a window manager alone.

Not cute enough
On my setup even using compton and all that I still have tearing issues with applications such as chromium, which I don't have in different DEs for some random unknown reason

Then it looks like you should use Windows 10! It's perfect for this, you're literally being forced to update almost every single day! And you even get the 2% games completely unplayable on GNU/Linux even with WINE, with some additional proprietary software you can buy or even pirate if you'd like!

Not him but the no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.

The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.

I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

My man. Irfanview, Faststone, Photoshop, Lightroom, Nik Collection, Microsoft Office, Sony Vegas, Notepad++ don't run natively on Linux. The alternatives are pure shit, I used them for some month. I mean, "used" because I couldn't do really much. Kdenlive crashed, Gthumb frrezed with many RAWs, Rawtherapee crashed, Gpicview is shit compared to Irfanview and slower. Windows is good for work, Linux is good for security and internet.

>>

Thanks but I tried these already. I know how to work with Sony Vegas, Photoshop, I find them easier to use. Krita is going through a rewrite in some parts and the multiline text tool is fucked up, I really needed that, GIMP doesn't have it. I don't want to start again with these problems, I'm already very confortable on Windows with the software.
>>
>>57113716
Because it will use gtk3 in future releases
Because there's DEs or WMs even less bloated
Because if I had to choose a *buntu i'll choose lubuntu first
>>
>>57114562
IIRC it comes like that by default, however it's funny that you're trying to push the notion that a bar on top and a dock is a mac-only thing. Being fair most DEs on linux provides levels of customization mac and windows can only envy, that along with much more benign terms of use i consider you're putting apple on a undeserved high position.
>>
>>57122528
if you have to ask then probably not
>>
>>57122532
Sure, no problem, i'm not suggesting you to stop using windows or something like that but you made a claim:
>Windows is good for work, Linux is good for security and internet.
A lot of people can interpret that as linux not being good for work so that's the claim i challenged.
>>
>>57115734
Doing it wrong senpai. You should be using gentoo stable and adding an accept_keywords rule of ** or ~amd64 for packages you want to use that are more recent. For example, experimental gcc versions quite often contain bugs, which can be as dangerous as successfully compiling unrunnable programs. And since you need to compile gcc with gcc to downgrade, you're in a bind and end up having to redownload a tarball or some such - if you even manage to get that far without throwing your computer through the window.

On the other hand, a massive advantage of source-based distros is that you can install unstable or bleeding edge packages within a stable system without having to pull many, if any, unstable or bleeding edge dependencies or reverse-dependencies. This allows you to enjoy a perfectly stable experience while still having complete access to up-to-date packages where it actually matters.
>>
it has no advantage over osx el capitan, or windows 10. i don't have an issue with the function of those two OSs, and not being a paranoid fuck worried about botnets, i'm not going to waste my time bothering with a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
>>
>>57122607
Right, sorry. It really depends on the work. If you are doing programming, it is heaven. For video editing and photo editing, it is good but not that good. For office, it depends on how well you can work with LibreOffice. I think I am more familiar with the software I grew up. I discovered Linux 3 years ago and tried to like the software but couldn't.
>>
>>57114616
Archfags prefer abandonend and unstable AUR packages.
>>
>>57122614
On Linux, you gain privacy but lose lots of things. There is excellent freeware software on Windows that isn't crossplatform so it doesn't work on Linux. Windows has a good DE and a compositor that is not buggy or shit. The drivers are good once you install them. The support and user base is huge. Many devs on Linux lack money and power so the software is not that good in the end.
