I'm a long time slackware user. That have 32bit hardware that i still use for legacy stuff. I installed the kde desktop. And liked the default branding. Still trying to wrap my head around rpm spec files. It's not as convoluted as guix scheme packaging. But it's interesting. I hope to be able to contribute to packaging software.
