A huge Slackware-current update just landed: 1927 updates, including 1876 rebuilt packages. The entire distribution was rebuilt with GCC 16.2.0, glibc 2.44 and binutils 2.47. Patrick Volkerding: "Fine, it's 16.0 alpha 1." www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sl... Time to upgrade. #Slackware #Linux
A few days ago we released #SonicDE 6.7.4, compatible with #KDE Plasma 6.7.4. We have up-to-date packages for #Slackware and #VoidLinux, and #ArchLinux packages are ready too. If you’re running another distribution, head over to sonicde.org to see what’s available.
Xorg/XLibre: DontZap disables Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. DontVTSwitch disables Ctrl+Alt+Fn, but removes VT recovery. For most systems, DontZap alone is the better trade-off. More details: raw.githubusercontent.com/r1w1s1/code-... #slackware #x11
On #ArchLinux, you can now get both the “oldstable” #XLibre 25.0.x and the latest “beta” 25.2.x packages from our XLibre third-party repo. Please see xlibre-arch.github.io for setup instructions. The old x11libre.net/repo/arch_ba... repo has been removed in favor of the new repos.

Found UW ttyp0, a beautiful bitmap font for X11 and Unix consoles: people.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~uwe/misc/uw... I’m using its dotted-zero variant with cwm, dmenu, xterm, tabbed, and xscreensaver. A UW ttyp0 SlackBuild will be available on SlackBuilds.org next week. #slackware
The Slackware maintainer Ricardson @r1w1s1.bsky.social has created third-party packages for #SonicDE on #Slackware. You can find the installation instructions, SlackBuilds, package status, and project documentation at sonicde-slackware.github.io. A big thank you to Ricardson!

Happy 33rd birthday to #Slackware #Linux @volkerdi thanks for all the awesome work you do, and may there be many more years of Slackware to come :)
We're happy to announce that the #Slackware Core Team member @r1w1s1.bsky.social started to create SlackBuilds for #SonicDE. Please check them out at forge.slackware.nl/r1w1s1/sonic.... You're also welcome to provide feedback in our chats listed at sonicde.org. #SlackwareLinux
Trying out NextSpace on Slackware -current with XLibre. A modern implementation inspired by the classic NeXTSTEP desktop. It's interesting to see how its design and workflow still feel relevant decades later. Definitely a fun project to explore. #Slackware #NextSpace #XLibre #Unix #X11
Got some ripe Apple? XLiberate it! ;-) In this shot: #XLibre 25.2.0, MacBook Air M2013/E2014, #AntixLinux 26, Linux kernel 6.6.119, IceWM 4.0.0, 748 MiB of 3.77 GiB RAM in use. More #LiberatedScreens at github.com/orgs/X11Libr...
In April we promised x.com/XLibreDev/st... to create a place for #XLibre on #ArchLinux. With up-to-date binary packages and technical information. We've got it now: github.com/xlibre-arch. Please provide feedback if you run into any issues. We'll take care of them for sure.
A quick rundown of the #XLibre for #ArchLinux packaging changes: 1. New pipeline. Faster updates. 2. New mirror. packages.xlibre.net/arch/stable/... 3. New key. xlibre-arch.github.io/xlibre-archl... 4. New doc. Like the #ArchWiki, but more XLibre. github.com/xlibre-arch/...

If you are an experienced #Slackware user I would really like your help now. On a non-production machine or in a virtual environment with slackware64-current installation (only) try the slacker a slackpkg & slackpkg+ in 1. Written in rust. Testers are needed not to fix bugs but to find them!
