A profitable business based on good old #Slackware in 2024 (!):

@r1w1s1 I could consider Slackware some day to replace my Fedora installation. It is like "Arch for adults" ;-) I use Linux first and foremost for executing work with the same set of tools I've used forever. I used in the distant past many years with zero issues.
In a leisure time I use Mac with the logic that changing operating systems gives me as a remote worker feeling of moving between workplace and home. And it is better place for watching crap and trying out new and flashy stuff because it is broken to begin with anyhow ;-)

@r1w1s1 yeah, so my packages change rarely :D And both Rust and Go provide pretty good environments to install tools implemented with them to the home directory. And for desktop, Flatpak today is pretty good (l install e.g. Signal from there).
So the packages that I actually install from distributions repositories are pretty basic and boring: git, vim (the regular one), gcc, msmtp and that kind of old and dusty stuff, which exists everywhere.
And I use my desktop exactly for doing work and not much else.
