Does anyone here REALLY use slackware as their main OS?

[Triplum.fm]

Like you I too have discovered that the enthusiasm and drive of Slackers is not there anymore. I noticed a decline in some of the Slackware Forums about 5 years ago.
It was my experience that some of the members in those forms didn't illustrate or practice much empathy, kindness <or> respect to new or old Slackware users.

I'll continue to run Slackware regardless and practice my dedication to assisting others who want to learn and run it:-

Yeah, you're right. Kindness and respect aren't what they used to be 10 years ago. The tone has become harsher. Of course, I'll still keep Slackware on one of my laptops. You don't just throw away an OS that you've been working with for over 20 years. It's really sad.

Sad indeed.

Slackware 14 ran great on my Sony Vaio for years. Now it's on my custom built desktop.

What kind of laptop do you have Slackware on?

Putting forth the effort and not giving up are the first steps.

I have installed Slackware on a Lifebook E736 with Skylake and a Lifebook U9310 with CometLake. Both are perfectly configured.

Lifebooks are, in my opinion, great laptops. They're robust, reliable, and easy to configure for Linux. What I particularly like about the Lifebook is that the fan doesn't run constantly; it only kicks in when it reaches a certain temperature. By configuring it accordingly, the fan stays off, allowing for work or enjoying music without fan noise. Especially with the ultra-thin U9310 CometLake, which often reaches temperatures of 100°C (212°F), it should be configured to stay below 65°C (149°F). This keeps the fan off, resulting in a quiet & cool laptop. For me, it's important to have a laptop that runs reliably for many years. With the combination of a Lifebook and Intel, you can hardly go wrong.
