Try Slackware 10.0.  You will be pleased.

exactly, not only doesn't it have apt-get, it has no package manager at all!

Any idea what is left out/crippled in the Ximian Desktop Evaluation version, if anything?
considering its available for free download, I'd be very suprised if something was missing.
dont be so sad about it. im thinking of getting rid of it and going back to MEPIS. its slower, and it dosent have apt-get, a giant negative. althought it dose look awesome, there really isnt much there to be jealous of.

Have you tried adding the Open Carpet repos to Red Carpet?

Funny, I must have been hallucinating when I was using 'installpkg', 'upgradepkg' and 'removepkg' a few days ago.

Oh, you probably meant a cobbled mess like RPM. No thank you. I've seen RPM render a system useless far too many times.

I was referring to slackware (though plain rpm's aren't any better) and yes, the sarcasm detector was off the charts. A package manager should actually manage packages (dependancy resolution, conflict resolution, search).

btw, sry for taking this post offtopic, but TGZ is definitely no solution to RPM.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
