For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
Slackware is still an important and useful distro.
It doesn’t make any assumptions about how you want to use your computer.
Do you want a system that’s more stable than Debian or as bleeding edge as Arch?
Do you want a minimal system that runs on an old 486 or a full-featured KDE desktop?
Do you want to compile from source, download tarballs from Github, install .deb packages, .rpm packages or FlatPaks?
Are you running a web server or a laptop?
Slackware don’t care. There’s no “Don’t break Debian”, no “Partial upgrades are unsupported”, no “Don’t mix in other repos”, no “Don’t edit this file, it will be overwritten”. Do whatever the fuck you want, it’s your PC.
