Slackware in the 90s was amazing. Super stable. I think I continued to run Slackware until around 2002 to 2004 (can’t say for sure but it was to run an early(ish) version of Ableton for laptop DJing - as I was creating a concept set that just wouldn’t have been possible with vinyl alone), and wanted a distro that was a little lower maintenance given the advances to Linux at that point.

I’ll always have a soft spot for Slackware even if I’d never dream of running it any longer.
