Slackware is still a thing?

    It always will be so long as Pat maintains it, I stopped using it years ago though. It lost its way trying to compete with Desktop OSes, and pretty much Arch replaced that niche, now we have Artix, Void and Alpine.

  • How do you hope the DCU will be different from the DCEU?

    I was so unhappy with the DCEU myself. MoS and BvS were not at all what I wanted from Superman and Batman on screen. I can't wait for Superman Legacy myself.

  • What would you say are the advantages of Void over Alpine?

    Alpine has gcompat which has worked well for me, and when I did try void so many years ago, I remember running into some problem after choosing musl only and then trying to get glibc to run after installing glibc packages. It was a long time ago and I'm sure the issue no longer exists though.

    xbps-src does seem nice though, similar to checkinstall which I used to use on slackware.

    Ultimately I just have to give it a try again and see if I like it better or not.

  • For many DC fans, the DCEU was largely a disappointment. For others it was a breath of fresh air. Now that the DCU is coming, how different do you want it to be, if at all? If you do want it to be different, how do you hope it will be different?

    I'm a longtime Linux user, starting back in 1998 with an early RedHat release before switching to Slackware, and then basically Kali for work. Most recently after getting back into Desktop Linux I switched to Alpine, because it met my needs for how I used to use Slackware. I like as minimal as possible a system, with everything clear and laid out not hiding behind tools or obfuscation, with security in mind. I did try Void once before, but ran into issues getting some package I wanted to work, and Alpine was working better for me so I stuck with it. I'm still very interested in Void, but I wonder at this point, are there any distinct advantages it has over Alpine?

    It's mostly just creative automod rules, it's not that big a deal and plenty of users would come up with solutions in short order.

    I used to use Slack, but it lost its way. Arch is really, really cool, but I've become more interested in Void. Currently, perhaps surprisingly, I use Alpine because I like how minimal it is.

    I loved it. No issues with the cliffhanger or it being a two-parter except for the wait time. Fantastic use of the medium fantastic story, great pacing etc.
