I feel out of the loop, what's Slackware?

[-] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 66 points 10 months ago

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?

[-] interloper@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

No, unless stability is very little change.

This is what Debian's Stable name means: that, once released, the operating system remains relatively unchanging over time.
