Just finished updating my SlackBuild to build QEMU 10.1 cleanly on Slackware 🎉
✨ Highlights of QEMU 10.1 on x86_64:
- Improved CPUID handling (guests see cleaner CPU flags)
- KVM backend improvements (TDX/SEV-SNP support for servers on newer kernels)
- TCG accuracy improvements
Still runs great on laptops for daily Slackware VM use
I’ve updated my SlackBuild so it compiles QEMU 10.1 without Meson option issues.
Grab it here:

Small but mighty news for UNIX fans:
GNU ed 1.22 is out! Now you can filter specific line ranges through shell commands directly in ed, ex(1)-style:
1,10!sortJust like in ex or sed, this filters addressed lines through your favorite shell tools a great upgrade for scripting and editing workflows.
Even better: Today’s batch of Slackware -current updates already includes ed 1.22. If you’re running -current and up to date, you already have the new version!

On this day in 1993, Patrick Volkerding released Slackware 1.0, the oldest Linux distro still maintained!
Still simple, still solid, still Slackware.

@r1w1s1 Oh, my journey in the *nix world started with one of the #Slackware derivatives, developed by Russian community 
It was #MOPSLinux 3.1 and it was based on the Slackware 10.1 with some additionals, like support of Russian language and custom installer.

Dreaming of getting my hands on a Lenovo ThinkPad X201 tablet someday! Imagine the possibilities with a clean install of Slackware. That legendary keyboard and robust build would be perfect for a lightweight and customizable Linux experience. Anyone in Brazil 🇧🇷 know where to find these gems? Let's make it happen! 🤩

Why Slackware does things differently — and why that’s by design.
It's not about being better, it's about being Slackware.
Insightful for those who want to understand the design choices under the hood.
