This is very important to understand.
I have a computer with Pentium 4 540J at 3,2GHz on socket 775, 8GB DDR2 800MHz on 4 slots, the on-board graphics from motherboard supports OpenGL 2.1 .

This box is 32bit only and it runs fine Slackware -current with Plasma5. The Plasma5 has all its grafics effects active and overall behavior of this particular box is quite decent.

Also I have two Asus EEPC netbooks which are 32bit only and runs fine Slackware -current with XFCE.

Long story short, 32bit only computers are still around and they do a fine job.

Yeah, I'm definitely not suggesting stopping development of 32bit Slackware. It still certainly has its place and there's still a lot of 32bit hardware out there that can still use a modern distro.

Yes ! Is true !
But the 32-bit era, is over. Absolutely.

There is also an integral part of industrial equipment that will certainly use 32-bit applications.
Ditto for embedded or industry embedded.
Therefore, do not be afraid to be left without 32-bit support in Slackware or somewhere else!

I mean switching the mainstream from 32-bit to 64-bit is prefer, and this applies primarily to
the increased system requirements of applications (what make programmers and ask users).
Therefore, there will definitely be and 32-bit Slackware.

I have a whole rack of old faulty and working 32-bit PCs and several DVDs and СDROMs,
that no one needs even for free. Everyone switched to 64-bit and USB flash.

32-bit start does not mean full-fledged 32-bit work yet !
The 32-bit era is over.
Thank you for right understand !

May be this ? :
......................./---> 15.0 64-bit (kde5) mainstream
....................../
. ----> 14.2 (kde4) ---> 14.3 (kde5) old 32/64-bit mainstream

Here is a clean patch to be applied against current libusb sources to fix the bug I wrote about here:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post6215338

multi-cfg.patch:

Code:
From f6d2cb561402c3b6d3627c0eb89e009b503d9067 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Chris Dickens <christopher.a.dickens@gmail.com>
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2020 15:49:19 -0800
Subject: [PATCH] linux_usbfs: Fix parsing of descriptors for
 multi-configuration devices

Commit e2be556bd2 ("linux_usbfs: Parse config descriptors during device
initialization") introduced a regression for devices with multiple
configurations. The logic that verifies the reported length of the
configuration descriptors failed to count the length of the
configuration descriptor itself and would truncate the actual length by
9 bytes, leading to a parsing error for subsequent descriptors.

Closes #825

Thanks and kudos to Eric and Patrick for this. I really hope that 5.4.21 will make its way in -current (5.21.0 expected next Tuesday 16 February 2021).

A thought bubble for the Slackware installer.

If a user has used the "Install from FTP/HTTP server" option, then the $REMOTE_URL and $REMOTE_ROOT variables could be combined and offered to be added as the default mirror in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors.

PS - I still think this is worth taking.

I'm not sure if it's a problem on my box only, but geeqie has a problem. If I open an image with geeqie from command line it works like expected without an error. If I open it from thunar geeqie opens but neither does it show anything nor does it respond to mouse clicks. Recompiling 1.6 didn't help, compiling from git changed the behaviour to normal. There is no change to /usr/share/applications/geeqie.desktop, so I guess there is some other culprit.
Anyone with the same problem?

I'm having the same problem here.

Same thing happens if I try open the image in geeqie using Dolphin file-manager.
