Can anyone help me, find specifically a .vdi (preinstalled VBox)
of any Slackware (or derivative)
I could use (&post in my "9minutes2Linux" posts), instead of DW/mll? Thanks in Advance.
I doubt it's a bot, but it is also a troll egg account on Twitter. Which I've blocked.
Wow, you have a cyberstalker. It couldn't harass you on Twitter so it came here trying to make contact. Creepy. I was wondering why it wanted to make contact with you so badly in an earlier thread. This person is crossing a line. I think you should report them.

Each day I become more convinced that social media is destroying people's mental/emotional bodies/states.

Yes. I experienced that first hand this week. A person I know posted libelous statements about me on their personal blog. Thankfully, my friends pushed back and encouraged the misfit to take down the vile anecdote. It's bad when you're thinking of hiring a lawyer.
It does not matter it is troll or not, questions are still valid, they are quite reasonable. For Slackware users it is another occasion to rethink the possible answers. Here I see attempt how to avoid such discussion.
Given the success of some much younger distros, why use Slackware?
Given the fact that Slackware is an old distribution and people have been using it for decades, know it well and it works for them, why switching to another distro just for the sake of being trendy?

Sure, the questions might be reasonable, and s/he got reasonable responses when they asked these questions last time. In that thread, OP showed no interest in learning from our answers and basically acted like a troll. Many users here remember the previous thread and decided to not waste our breath (typing) on another fruitless endeavor.

Discussion of what exactly? Who in the Slackware forum has found Slackware to be "difficult to install/use and expert level"? My reply to the OP was not entirely in jest; the OP should ask people who think that. If the OP comes back with "I've asked around and I've heard that Slackware is difficult to install/use and expert level for these reasons..." then we can have a discussion.
It probably won't be a new discussion, since I think we've heard a lot of those reasons before, but we might be exposed to something new on the topic.
