I’d get myself banned this way. I forget the -p flag at least once per week.

I’ve had good luck with these guys: https://cloudfanatic.net/pricing/

I think they would fall in the less resources category. But they offer unlimited data transfer, and you can use any distro you want. I run slackware btw.

I’ve been daily driving linux since the late 90s and have no idea what wine prefixes are!

Gold star for you!

Nextcloud was too high fallutin for me. I share a zfs pool with proxmox’s file server appliance.

There are tools to download, compile and install packages! Whether or how you use them is left up to the slacker. I use them, but I scrutinize most deps so that I’m not adding support for features I won’t use.

I think Slackware’s reputation for being difficult dates back to the 90s when all linux was difficult. Slackware has evolved just like everyone else, just differently. It’s easy to install, and works like any other kde plasma based distro if you choose the default full install.

The two biggest differences are no systemd and package management. Slackpkg functions somewhat like apt-get, but only for official packages and updates. Everything else can be installed with slackbuild scripts that can be automated with sbopkg. This process is similar to using the AUR with a helper like yay. And I have some flatpaks installed too.

I should take another crack at sway. I didn’t know about EOS. I started with nwg-shell.

Nope! Everything just works and it’s rock solid. It’s also been my daily driver for over 20 years.

I was doing a lot of tech support when my wife was on endeavouros and my daughter was on bazzite. Tbf, my problems with bazzite were probably down to me not understanding the immutable distro concept.

My other thought was “obnoxious American tourists,” but the bacon thing sealed it.

Arch users are the sanctimonious vegans of the linux world. Bacon is delicious, and you are not special.

I’ve got my wife and 5 year old on slackware. They wouldn’t know how to screw it up if they wanted to!

No ads and unlimited YouTube music. I do the family plan for my mom, wife and young daughter. We get our money’s worth for sure.

I’m an American and I canceled mine years ago! (Except youtube premium)

My wife loved orphan black! I didn’t know it was Canadian. We both loved Kim’s convenience. And Kenny vs Spenny is an all time great.

Install slackware instead! But if you must, yay.

Batocera linux and retro games!

I found soulseek after Napster went away, and I love that it’s still going all these years later.

Check creality’s offerings. I’m happy with my ender v2, and it was about $130…before I started sinking a bunch of money into the hobby lolzzzzz
