    Does Unraid count? It’s based on Slackware and I’m adding a few extra Slackware packages.

    I remember using slapt-get when I used Slackware and that alleviated most of this sort of issue. Is that not still a thing?

      Slackware was my first distro coming from Windows. I would get so frustrated when I wanted to install some software and I had to download it, open the cli, run some commands, check for dependencies, etc. I thought it was completely idiotic. Why couldn’t you just click on the file and install it. I thought, “no wonder no one uses Linux.”

      Then a friend showed me slapt install, slapt update, and slapt upgrade. It was absolutely amazing. I wondered why Windows was so far behind.

    Running Slackware as your daily is great for learning about linux.

    Although I haven’t used it in about 12 years. Is it still like this?
