Hi, dodoLQ

Yes, slackbook_cn_loongarch64 is the Chinese version of slackbook
Later, I will make an English version for the part of LoongArch

Hi shipujin, Great work of your team!

It's good to see after so many years that loongarch finally has a working upstream(?) gcc and Linux kernel.

1) Do you plan to turn this into a loongarch version of slackware-from-scratch (SFS)?

2) Is there already a Linux From Scratch (LFS) version of this?

3) Hope to see a usable rack mount loong machine with Mellanox ConnectX VPI card, so that we can try it in a data center. Network cards are at least more open-source than GPU peripherals and so should be easier to support. Maybe you have already ported rdma-core and opensm to loongarch, or they just work without modification?

Regards,
guanx

I plan to build slackwareloong, the same architecture as slackware and slackwarearm

Hi, guanx

"Mellanox ConnectX VPI card","rdma-core","opensm" I haven't tried it, you can try slackwareloong.

xfce desktop is recommended if you do not have a separate graphics card.
With a separate graphics card, you can use the KDE desktop。

It also has a working upstream LLVM and rust :-)

In addition to the SlackwareCN porting of Slackware, there is also the unofficial porting bonslack-loongarch64 (current only), built from scratch:

Hi, lucabon

Does bonslack have an iso release?
Has your system been boot tested?
and graphical desktop test?
