Stephen 🦇 @sbattey.pnw.zone.ap.brid.gy · 03/10/2026Last night I installed Slackware on a spare laptop. That was a refreshing and weird experience. In some ways, it felt just like 2002 on the family’s surplus computer. Part of me wants to ditch bazzite and see what I can accomplish on my gaming machine with Slackware. 001

Stephen 🦇 @sbattey.pnw.zone.ap.brid.gy · 27/07/2026I spent some time testing various Plex apps, and I found the default app is better in most ways. So many of them have terrible design, or compatibility issues that are deal-breaking. There are a couple I’m keeping my eye on though. Infuse has a user profile switching issue that’s a deal breaker […]pnw.zoneOriginal post on pnw.zone 000
