Comment Re:How does it compare to bubblewrap? (Score 1) 40

I can't imagine it's as versatile or practically useful as Bubblewrap. It's based on limiting syscalls rather than namespaces, and too many processes are going to need access to too many for this approach to make sense. It makes sense when developers opt in, but not as a wrapper like the approach being tried here.

Comment What is Slackware's identity these days? (Score 1) 55

I loved it when I first used it, version 8. Learned a lot about Linux and it was amazing compared to Red Hat, Debian and early Gentoo.

At some point it tried to compete with Ubuntu, and required a full install (when I always opted for a minimal installation before without issues), and even samba to be installed just to get mplayer to run.

At that point Arch had clearly replaced it.

What is Slackware these days, or what is it trying to be?
