I set my mom up on slackware like 15+ years ago. She wouldn’t have known how to break it if she tried.
I feel out of the loop, what’s Slackware?
The oldest Linux distro that’s still maintained to this day.
With an extreme focus on the KISS principle (simplicity in design) and stability.
It basically still works the same way it did 30 years ago.With fewer floppy disks though.
The repos are still divided into Disksets, though.
The linux distro you want to have on a usb stick if the apocalypse breaks out.
is it more stable than debian?
No, unless stability is very little change.
That’s actually the definition of stability, according to Debian.
That’s what it means… A dead distro is the most stable.
but secure, that the sweet spot, stable enough but not sacrificing security
One of the original Linux distributions. It was created in like 93 or 94.
This meme reads more like slackware won’t do anything you want it to do…
I’ll just stick with Debian
I really want to try slackware but I’ve only used fedora and hear it’s “difficult.” Is there something you can use that handles dependancies for you? Iirc that was the reason I was holding off.
