Wow! It sounds like you have seen a lot of major changes! But so far, no SysVinit->systemd nor dropping 32-bit i586 package builds for Slackware 15.0 and -current [0][1]. As someone new to Slackware I appreciate the balance of having lots of pre-built packages and just about everything that's not included as a build script on SlackBuilds.org (known as SBo by many) [2]. Are you still using Slackware today?

I've been working with Linux in one form or another for 30 years now! I almost can't believe it's been that long. Though I haven't used Slackware since the late 90's, I might take another look.

  > I've been working with Linux in one form or another for 30 years now! I almost can't believe it's been that long. Congrats on that personal milestone! Quite amazing for something community-developed and supported throughout several generations of hardware and changing technologies! > Though I haven't used Slackware since the late 90's, I might take another look. I would encourage it! The latest stable 15.0 release has pipewire and many other modern improvements, and I have been using the -current rolling release on my desktop PC without any hiccups since early 2022!
