Having to use the wrong slash everywhere

I…I didn’t know you could request that…omg

Late reply, but I suppose you’re correct; I think the option to choose what to install, the lack of pre-created desktop stuff (“home/$username/Videos” for example) and the requirement that you handle software that isn’t in the base install all make a Slackware installation less bloated than most. Maybe not at install time, but over the life of the install you end up with less garbage IMHO.

If you hate bloat you like Slackware. It doesn’t assume anything about how you want to use your computer, so it’s more painful for a lot of folks. Other distros will try to do things for you and will ultimately end up doing something someone doesn’t want. With Slackware you learn a lot and you get a rock-solid system that will do whatever you like, but you have to be willing to manage it.

Not FOSS, but Mega Hit Poker is the one I play.

I’ll look into that, thanks!

I just don’t want to be a windows systems engineer anymore, and I’m having trouble getting interviews for linux administration roles.

For sure, my company is willing to pay for it, I wouldn’t be paying for it myself.

I just don’t want to work with windows anymore, and every job I get is windows centric; therefore I get a small amount of linux experience on my resume and the cycle continues. I’m contemplating getting the RHCSA and the RHCSE in order to get linux-centric roles (because although I’m down to take a cut in pay and settle for a junior position, most of the jobs available seem to be for senior or mid-level positions).

NMH!

SLACKWARE!!!

Brain - I want to be able to perform real multitasking.

I’m full WFH, and if I plugged one in it would be an instant firing. I don’t have time any for anything but work in the day anyways, they have very high expectations.

You WILL actually end up with a boring, white collar job, and you can make a lot more money a hell of a lot easier if you don’t get any tattoos from the neck up.

Also, you hate them but you’re really good with computers.

NM has what you’re looking for; cost of living is very low, you can kind of pick the climate you want. We’re also blue as a twitter check-mark. We’re not super-diverse though; mostly white and Mexican descent depending on where you hang your hat.

SLAAAAAAACKWAAAAARE!!! Slackware is good.

Debian is a nice second.
