#Slackware has been my main Linux driver from 2003 until 2010, but I eventually abandoned it out of frustration - Patrick's benevolent-dictator-for-life approach, combined with his "I only include the packages that I like" approach, his "I don't need a package manager, therefore nobody needs it" approach, and his "a new release will be ready only when I have enough time and I decide that it's ready" approach, gave me the impression that I was using some random dude's side project as my main driver.
Are there any reasons why someone would still want to use it in 2024?
