LinuxQuestions.org - JFYI Pantheon DE ( ElementaryOS ) for Slackware

Hiya guys,

a while ago, I was wondering if it possible to install the ElementaryOS Pantheon desktop environment on Slackware?

The good news is, the most things working, just few limitations....but I am still testing.

switchboard-plug-about
6.0.1 required systemd with switcheroo-control
the last working version without systemd is version 2.6.3

Elementary Appcenter
The Appcenter based on packagekit and packagekit-slack backend just supports blacklist single regex.

The project based obviously on ElementaryOS and the Gnome from Scratch- GFS-Project.

I had to rebuild GFS and a couple of other changes....gnome-keyring as an example

Code:

--- gnome-keyring.SlackBuild        2021-05-06 20:09:48.000000000 +0100

+++ new/gnome-keyring.SlackBuild        2021-12-22 11:02:34.892111432 +0000
