Slackware is still a thing? (lemmy.world)

I used slackware decades ago. Didn't know it was still around. Why would I use slackware over something like arch?

I do like the approach of 64 bit packages only. Serperating my other programs to conty for say my gamings, to keep my system clean. I did not try creating a vm, as there is a documentation to create kvm/ qemu virt manager , so that will be something i look forward to try so i can just gpu passthrough with slackware as the host.

This, with the prevalence of containers, slackware has the edge as a stable host system. Even slackware + nixpkg is pretty interesting.

That's how I've been managing the last little bit after going back to Slackware. Good stable combination.
