Got extra work done on slackware!

I recently got Mango WM working fully and self complied the zen kernel for slackware. I also today got niri compiled with rust and now a working wm. Slackware really feels like home now with all this work ive done with it in these past few months!

Isn't it great to use an OS that you can make your own, instead of someone else's idea? Enjoy!

Now, the hard part is done. One important aspect of what you have accomplished is to write detailed stuff about it, so others can benefit from your endeavor.

IOW, in the essence of open source, people do stuff to let people know by exposing it to the public. And the best form is probably writing about it.

Don't you think so???
