Last night I installed Slackware on a spare laptop. That was a refreshing and weird experience. In some ways, it felt just like 2002 on the family’s surplus computer. Part of me wants to ditch bazzite and see what I can accomplish on my gaming machine with Slackware.

2026-07-27T15:32:22Z

I spent some time testing various Plex apps, and I found the default app is better in most ways. So many of them have terrible design, or compatibility issues that are deal-breaking. There are a couple I’m keeping my eye on though. Infuse has a user profile switching issue that’s a deal breaker but is a top contender—the bug is a tvOS bug. Plezy looks good but doesn’t play all formats reliably and the app icon is ugly. Zuno looked good on the outside but the app is buggy and vibe coded.
