I read HN regularly since a couple of years, but registered just for this comment. My first GNU/Linux distro, but in early 2000. I have great memories from that time, it was "harder" but very rewarding. The best example of less is more. Today I'm using Devuan to escape from systemd, and I think I'll give Slackware 15 a try <3
- 2b3a51 5y agoI've been using Slackware on a laptop since around 2014, the 14.1 release days. The default (i.e full) install contains almost everything I need. I just add LibreOffice and R/RStudio and Octave and a few bits and pieces - nearly all available pre-compiled. As another post has pointed out, if you decide to try Slackware 15.0 your previous knowledge will be mostly reusable (but slackpkg makes updating the base easier).
