The houses and in the image are very similar to the types you'd see near the Alps... SE Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. Although, I don't doubt that they likely have their styles duplicated in other places of the world. The scenery is also something commonly seen in the above area.

It seems Johannes Plenio is the owner of the image and this is one of the locations its hosted, but there doesn't seem to be any location information anywhere on the web for the image.

In northeastern Thailand there is a small village that looks like it was magically airlifted from Switerland.

Well this is my -current MATE setup which is exactly like my 14.2 setup. Except I had to adjust conky to reflect my new ridiculously awesome 5900x 24 thread count lol. Also used qt5ct and qt5-styleplugins to get seamless integration between my gtk2/gtk3/qt5 apps. Its plain looking but I prefer lighter colors.

Very nice!
Unusual view of the Paris skyline. It took a moment before I realized that is the Eiffel Tower off in the distance (just right of center).
Great city!
Thanks.

Is that big black zone Père Lachaise ?

Did not know you can actually theme sbopkg and slackpkg by modifying /etc/dialogrc. Here I show slackpkg running with updates.

Worthy a medal!

We are at the verge of needing a running directory of files that are useful for modding/pimping it all

Is there any danger that running "slackpkg update" can lead to problems?

A recent advertisement for the new hybrid Range Rover showed a stunt driver taking on the switchback road up this mountain in Hunan Province, China, then actually tackling the long 45-degree slope of stairs leading up the the eroded cave opening shown here. There's a temple built on top of the same mountain. Amazing!

You mean by modifying dialogrc? No, very unlikely. What can happen though, is that dialogrc is getting overwritten with slackpkg update, so make sure to have a backup of the changes.

Wow, amazing!

Yep, I vote for it

FWIW I am a complete NAB at slackpkg, only just recently experimenting with it on a testing install on it's own partition. I'm really Old Skool and prefer doing everything manually but that is becoming more difficult with Current as upgrade instructions now rely on slackpkg almost exclusively. It's actually quite impressive in that it displays a list of proposed changes that one can selectively uncheck. Also, like other distro's package managers, it is important to understand the choice of repositories and the config file filters which might require alteration for specific actions to be actually "safe" or "without problems".

Example, left to default configs, "slackpkg upgrade all" will not only replace your existing kernel as the default, it will remove much of it altogether unless you protect it. So be careful and well-advised if you consider it on anything but a testing install, at least until you discover how it operates for your own peace of mind.

Or, contrary, just run in neck deep and resurface on the other side in two weeks with only God knows how many unslept nights and pulled hairs, richer in experience and knowledgeable as no other man, we've all been there

In case You pick this one path, please bring as much screenshots along the way to post here for additional prestige?

Hahaha Scerovec, you really know how to make me smile Yes that's part of my "school", too. It does get me unslept nights and it's a damned wonder I'm not bald. It took me a month to even begin to get comfortable with EFI Booting and I know I make it worse by not only having many operating systems on the same box but a large number of kernels floating around on some 30+ partitions. I still haven't quite grasped what is simply essential to EFI booting so I can go there and modify just that. It's not as simple as good ol' LILO where one install on one partition can boot everything on the boxen with (mostly) clear options for kernel version, vga modes, etc.

As before though I don't change wallpaper very often though I do play with global themes, color schemes, greeter screens, et al. I like to login as root first to setup distinct styles so it is immediately noticeable when I'm acting as root in normal user land. I don't know what I'd do without "kdesu".... wait... yes I do... I still install tester distros and have somehow hung on to a PopOS install for several months even though I totally hate how much it keeps users isolated in the dark corner for the kiddies so they/we don't poke out an eye or something. Man I love Slackware!
