I love that Slackware still exists, and try every new release.
It works as a daily driver and after initial setup is less of a hassle than people think, but I also can’t really find any good reason to use it over more modern distros.
I came up on Slackware, used it exclusively from like ‘96 - 08’. Have not touched it since. I have fond memories of debugging XFree86.conf and compiling half of what I installed from source. 🤣 This is a wild slack themed day- I just ran into a Bob Dobbs picture in the wild. 😂
A wild Bob is calling you 🤣
Tbh I’ve not debugged a config like that in so long, since like 10 and I was a wee lad.
Most things just work now. I’ve also been using Wayland and pipewire.
Idk I’ve been on Slackware for 10 years… And I’ve just ended up learning how to use the OS and change things as I please.

Valid. I really like that the whole system is held up with a bunch of bash scripts. Which is not a plus for a lot of people.
