I'm too lazy to try to main slackware again, but I did have a great time because ignoring package management means the ideal way to use slackware is to just install everything. There were a few things I needed that weren't distributed by slackware, but having all the dependencies already there made compiling everything no effort.
>>6 my desktop is on Bazzite now and that system basically does just go "flatpak is the one true way to install software" because the main install image is immutable there are other workarounds (the second true way to install software is just use distrobox and be beholden to your sub-distro of choice's package management)
I do wonder just how long the support guarantees for flatpaks will actually last in practice. How far in the future could I expect a flatpak from today to keep working on later systems, I wonder...?
