Reason: typo - what else :O}
Finally began using my custom installation (I used to call it "minimal"; but I realized I never did this for the sake of minimalism). I made this with tagfiles, the command line instead of the "setup" installer, and a lot of patience and love. It's just a hobby. I made documentations of my own setup for personal use. Slackware made me grow as a Linux user. Next, I'll move to ksh and compile a custom kernel.
254 packages, 1.9G of space. Including music trackers, Seamonkey, sox, transmission-cli, ffmpeg, emulators, etc. Recompiled some stock applications with custom configurations.
I chose twm as a window manager, and I'm impressed with how comfortable it can be. I loved icon managers and the ability to warp the cursor through keybindings. My theme is a little dark, but I find it calming.
Getting a bit tired looking for wallpapers. I go through hundreds, if not thousands, I'm so picky. Finally today I realised the formula I've been looking for which makes me stick with one: simplicity, symmetry and scope. My other two Slack installs also have very minimalist walls. They should be attractive, intriguing, dark, mysterious, have depth, and be simple but thought-provoking. Maybe that's a big ask for a wallpaper but it makes sense to me. When I find one I like, it stays there for months. I like this current one a lot.

Looks good, maybe you could include a link to it :-)
EDIT: I also made a blue version of the large red grid. Very simple to do in GIMP. Open the file, go to Hue/Saturation and move the hue slider to -150. Done.

I am running the 14.2 but with a kernel i have grabbed from current tree.
My plan is to watch current's changelogs and when i read that there is a new kernel release that fixes a severe vulnerability, then i ll go for the upgrade.
(Kabylake was playing well with Stock 4.4 kernels, but the saying was that newer kernels offering better support).
"Καρτέλες" is the usual word for "Tabs". Strange that i almost haven't notice it.

Yes, I'm still endlessly tweaking my setup because I get bored if it always looks the same. (I do actually do real work too, sometimes. )
Added plank for a more Mac OSX-like layout. I'm also showing rofi in this screenshot, which is a really awesome application launcher that I highly recommend. I have it set up to search through .desktop files and plain executables.
