I remember it was painless, except for some drivers.

But I also remember having to choose how to set up the partition table, including what format it would be in. I didn’t know the difference between any of them, just that ext3 and reiserfs were “good”. So I flipped a coin.

Slackware has a gui, but it’s not a simple “click here to install” type. It has you creating your own partition table, with all the options.

Hell, I looked at installing Slackware again a few months back. I think I’ve said enough.

Coincidentally, I actually did install Slackware as one of my first distros some 20 years ago. I actually had one of those old Linux for Dummies books, which made the experience close to painless.

Sadly, the call of PC gaming pulled me back to windows for a while. But with Steam, and more specifically Proton, now those calls are coming from inside the house.

Jefferson was a massive hypocrite. A slave owner who often spoke of freedom. People of the time called him out for the hypocrisy.

But specifically, it’s been proven through genetic testing that he impregnated one of his slaves, who was the much younger half sister of his wife, because Jefferson got his slaves from his slave dealing father in law, who also raped his slaves.

More hypocrisy, Jefferson wrote about how Americans should live idyllic lives on small farms in touch with nature, and ran a slave powered nail factory.

Specifically, young teen boys, because their hands were smaller, and could more easily operate the dangerous equipment.

There’s so much more, and all of it bad.
