In this post I'll be sharing some screenshots of my Slackware installation.
Slackware has it's own package management system and the tools are fairly easy to use.
I installed Slackware about 3 weeks ago and it's been very stable and reliable.
It comes with the KDE Plasma 5 desktop as well. Here's a screenshot of the XFCE desktop with MPlayer running.
There are a lot of KDE applications and the GUI's of the applications can be set to a dark background.
Learning all of the elements on the periodic table can be challenging but useful.
The Home directory in KDE Plasma is displayed by Dolphin the file manager.
The KDE settings are easy to work with as well.
The rest of the screenshot's are under the XFCE desktop and I'll give details.
Gimp works very well if you want to edit a picture, resize it and so much more.
One of the many games that comes with Slackware is KMahjongg, one of my favorites.
Libre Office is nice as well but it's not in the SlackBuilds repo so you will have to go the the Alien repo to download it.
The Settings for XFCE-
The terminal is pretty basic and get's the job's you need done.
You can change the colors of the font too.
Just go to Edit> Preferences.
In the below screenshot you see the .xinitrc file. I had to edit it to add an argument to the file.
QT5 installed-
At the moment all of the KDE applications under the XFCE desktop environment on my system have white backgrounds. I'm in the process of trying to fix that.
I am planning a blog post for the future for how to run Slackware, list the tutorial on how to install it and how to set it up after the first boot.
In the meantime if you'd like to learn more you can visit Slackware's website.
