The final straw for me was automatic updates wrecking my system. Happened a couple times in the space of a few weeks across two distros, so I decided to try Slackware a go, so I could have a bit more control over everything, even though I didn't really know what I was doing.

It's really a great way to learn too, because all the solutions to your problems involve showing you how to find the fix yourself. Everything in the scripts you find are well commented, and there's a fair bit of friendly community support.

Once you know what you're doing, it's not that hard either. I spend about fifteen minutes a week keeping my system up-to-date. Lack of dependency resolution isn't really as scary as it sounds, and it means if anything goes wrong, I'll have a much better idea because I performed all the steps myself.

Basically, it being harder makes it easier.

Try harder, mate.
Your bait's getting boring.

Nigger I've been using Slackware ever since it came out in 1992. Go crawl back into your mom's cunthole, asshole.

>>55315762
Nice IP, 6th guy.

>>55315762
>>55315785
I have no idea what's going anymore

I use Slackware as my daily driver, although the lack of dependency resolution can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
>>
>>55315873
What are you talking about? Slackware has package managers now, it's come a long ways.
>>
>>55315785
I miss when 4chan was anonymous
>>
>>55315919
4chan was always only anonymous on the front end
>>
>>55315951
and it no longer is
>>
>>55315978
It's no different on /g/ though.

I use slack. My life lacks excitement.
What exciting things can you do on slack?
>>
>>55316579
download gentoo and install it
>>
>>55316600
Gentoo automates almost everything, I suggest he remains on slack and recompiles everything manually
>>
>>55317317
There's probably already tools for it but making a quick script to rebuild every SlackBuild in Slackware's source tree would take like a minute
>>
>>55317317
no it was so much trouble doing first time around. I want to do something new.
