Hello 2023: Current Setup and State of Affairs
It's been a while since I posted anything original here. Testing various distros eventually loses its appeal and we settle on one or a mix of distributions. I'm not really using Slackware anymore except very occasionally in the form of Alien's LiveSlak on a USB stick and experimenting with Porteus. Slax also once again has a version based on Slack but I find Porteus the better choice these days if a system working around modules is what you want. All this is toying around though.
My day to day work is done on a mixture of MX Linux KDE, and for a while prior to that AntiX, and Linux Mint. Yes, the one with systemd. Simply due to the fact that it is the one distribution that I tried that managed to set up the Nvidia driver without further fiddling and work correctly with my hybrid graphics laptop to allow for some advanced Steam gaming. The other reason would be that it is the one distribution where Cinnamon really shines in combination with the Mint tools. If not for that I'ld be going Plasma only. This combo has proven to be more than adequate to deal with anything I throw at it and is a great production setup.
As a side note, I'm still confused about the difference between AntiX and MX Fluxbox and if there is any.
