I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

    Sbopkg has a slackbuild queue generator sqg which builds the dependencies for applications in it for you. apart from that I’m trying to package ROCm.

      Holy crap, how did I forget that existed? I would use that for complex stuff like vlc back in the day.

      I’ve not heard of ROCm, but I think I get the gist. It’s something like Cuda for AMD?

      Are you going to upload and maintain it if you get it working?

        Its easy to forget it cause the name is forgettable lol.

        yeah basically. Its annoying af to build from source.

        yeah i would like to do that but baby steps it needs to build and work.
