        Then you’re doing it wrong.

        ctrl+space > scr > enter > enter > enter

        It’s uploaded to imgur before you can even pick up your phone.

            ctrl+space is the keyboard shortcut I have set to open whisker menu then typing scr and enter opens the screenshot program (xfce-screenshooter), then two more enters to take the screenshot and upload it.

                Because that’s how the application was programmed to behave by the developer.

        What is lazier than pressing Printscreen? KDE’s screenshot tool even has an export to imgur function.

    Ah yes, the Slackware approach to package management. Don’t need dependency resolution if you install the entire repo.

    package total count is the worst measure ever. Debian splits one into many packages meanwhile arch has x no of packages combined into one.

    BTW, if you have the time, can you please share your views on openSUSE (Leap) vs Debian? I’m divided between these two for my next Linux install.

    I forgot about an old install of tumbleweed and had thousands of packages that needed updating. To my shock it worked.

    Where do you mostly download your packages from? Discover and Flathub? Just curious as I switched to Tumbleweed yesterday, and not a big fan of Discover so far… 😅

      If you are ok with using a terminal, just use zypper.

          As someone who also switched from debian-based, the commands are pretty easy to pickup. Instead of apt-get upgrade you have zypper dup, and instead of apt-get install you have zypper install. Have fun with it!

            Another very useful command, if you are searching for python packages for example (they get installed via zypper not pip), is zypper se “package name” to search for packages in your repos

              Just wanted to say that zypper search works too, it might be easier to remember fore some people.

          Also don’t forget the --clean-deps flag when uninstalling a package with zypper to remove unneeded dependencies, for example “sudo zypper rm --clean-depts package_name”

      Discover is trash imo, it always crashes when trying to list all the packages to update (maybe that’s because of the number of packages i installed? No, impossible! xD)

    apparently scrot isn’t among those packages.

    just use slackware, the whole point is it comes with all the packages
