I am using slint 15.0 and tried installing with a couple wrong packages. It will be interesting to see if a toot installation actually works. That is to say, once the package is on the system can it be used to join a server and actually login. This was not the case with reddio. Reddio and/or slint broke after authorization interaction was complete and reddit and reddio and slint failed based on an error with port 65010. pipenv had no better success with reddio when it was used throwing the identical error after authorization interaction. As I understand it, ports above 1000 are unprivileged. Does this mean port 65010 has to be explicitly opened up before it can be used by software and the internet?
