Thanks for the responses to everyone who contributed! I'll likely return to Slack after reading all of the responses here.

I've toured a lot of distros.

AFAIC, Slackware is still the bee's knees and the cat's meow. It is the distro of iron that just works.

It may not be all shiny and glitzy (actually, my Slackware is quite shiny and glitzy--I do likes me my eye candy), but it's pure undistilled Linux that does the behest of its root user.

That's talking man! :hattip:

I use Slackware on PCs and laptops. I have tried many distros but I haven't seen anything this stable. Of course, sometimes when you have a very new hardware, certain things might not be working well out of the box. But it is very easy to mend and repair and install new drivers. Slackware has aged very well. It has kept true to its philosophy and is the more Unix-like distro I have seen.

With time, there has been many people developing tools to aid Slackers, e.g. package managers. So, I will always strongly recommend Slackware as it gives you a true Linux experience and lets you know and control your machine better. :study:

So, long live Slackware. :)
