Hi. I recently downloaded build 13 2020 .iso from alien bob I believe. It is not as stable as I would like. anyone know where to find a current .iso less than a year old. I like to game so need multi lib for wine.
alien bob is generating a Slackware64 current iso after each update.
It can be found at https://slackware.nl/slackware/slackware64-current-iso/. As said current is pretty much stable these days. So you'll just need to add multilib, wine from alien bob current repository.
tried build 17 today. whole system froze getting into KDE. turns out my old copy of current is from 3-5-19.
would be nice to use a newer current thats stable but I dont seem to be getting the stability others are.

In KDE try to turn off Baloo, go to System Settings -> Search (under Workspace) ->File Search and unchecked "Enable File Search." Baloo could be causing problems. Plasma 5 was added to slackware64.
Please run
Code:
slackpkg search dolphin
so we can see what version of dolphin you are on.
Also please run
Code:
slackpkg search slackware64
to see if you have everything installed since there have been packages added to Slackware Current.
There you will find instructions to generate an ISO file and burn it to a dvd or USB.
Every time you want an ISO with the most recent updates, just update your local Slackware Tree (that you downloaded previously) by doing a sync with an official mirror using rsync and repeat the steps.
I downloaded build 18 and it appears stable so far. need to see how to get nouveau removed and nvidia drivers installed.
also installed debian 10.7 buster and its nice as well. removed windows. had uptime with my old current from 3-5-19 of 155 days no rebooting.
