Why what? Are you going to offer an alternative to DistroWatch or just ask open-ended questions?

yeah why does it take so long to install things? and still only distro that I know uses lilo aha.
Once you figure out how to use slacks packaging it's probably pretty good, but lilo default means on libreboot I need to use seabios. as lilo need bios interrupts.

As if the Windows 11 trash heap didn't already do that.

OpenShell is pretty much mandatory for both 10 and 11.

win11 is going to make me use my linux partition until maybe win12 or w/e comes out, the next non stink version of windows. maybe.

the whole microsoft plan of 'release a good one, release a bad one' is so tired. lol.

No, I mean as in they're more than willing to tell everyone they are, demonize others for not being like them, and have a contemptible level unwarranted self importance and superiority over everyone else. Also, very fragile egos and prone to replying to any dissonance towards them, often with questionable facts, logic repartee or insults that fall flat.

I'm saying everyone is using Minix and PSP now so use whatever works for you.
but debian on ppc64 is pretty cool if you geek out on computers.

AmogOS or nothing

Or, perhaps, that is jusy all in your head and you're the one with a fragile ego. You need to improve yourself. =)
