Is this just a matter of adding aarch64 to the chromium.SlackBuild from aliens slackbuilds?

I've put in some work on the ungoogled-chromium and so far it's not building. Checking other distros shows me some more patches likely need applied, it fails while linking with gn to continue the process. I've no time for days to look at it again, maybe sndwvs also has tried? I'm sure eventually this one will be going. They do offer a flatpak on flathub as well which should run (needs gpu acceleration) just fine on Slackware.

there is a ready build script, and now in the build process.

Well, thank you guys for thinking of me with the ungoogled chromium.

It sounds like an interesting repo you're building. I had a look. Some WMs use gnome parts (XFCE for instance & maybe IceWM). I don't know of any using KDE libs. But if there was a lighter version of kde I bet Slackware would be offering it instead of xfce.

the lightest is TDE slackware support.

No thanks! I did try the ultra-lightweight approach but it can be overdone. I'm not the kind of guy who chews matchsticks while running 3 emacs instances, I'm your average luser. XFCE does me nicely. They bill it as a low cholesterol window manager.

There seemed to be a stage when every CS student short of a project wrote a lightweight window manager in some odd language and tried to pass off his lack of effort as a feature. None of them lasted.
