Slackware

Why Slackware?

What Makes Slackware Different?

BDFL Model: Patrick Volkerding is still the main decision-maker. Slackware doesn't follow a strict release cycle; releases happen when they're ready.

Conservative Software Choices: Slackware favors well-tested software over the latest trends. Example: PAM and elogind were adopted only in version 15.0.

Simplicity Over Ease:

No Automatic Dependency Management:

Plain Bash-Based Package Management:

Vanilla Packages:

Customization and Community

SlackBuilds:

Minimalism and User Responsibility:

No systemd:
