Meanwhile NixOS users
alone and very far away from the real world?
yes but also superior beings who cannot connect to their erstwhile siblings anymore
I like nixos because it means my computer is objectively better than anyone else’s because I’m very smart.
This isn’t a joke, more commentary on how I compensate for my insecurities that is both a criticism and a brag.
Here is what I don’t understand about Slackware. Why does the installer recommend on installing everything. Not just a few applications most people might need. It recommends everything. Of course you can do a more minimalist installation but the installer recommends against it. Every application possible.
Because Slackware doesn’t have dependency resolution in the base system.
Additional software you install from slackbuilds includes dependency info, but dependencies that are in the base system aren’t considered.
The maintainers test against a full installation and anyone giving support assumes you have a full system. You can do a more minimal install but then you’re on your own. Similar to installing Arch without following the wiki.Thank you for the great reply. I am not saying one way is better but coming from Debian that was very foreign to me. I have a lot of respect for Slackware and people who use it.
