  • Regular Slackware user here.

    The biggest reason I use Slackware personally is that it’s the only distro I’d consider a “full system” out of the box. What that means, is that I install it, and I don’t really install much outside of the repos.

    For example, the kde set comes with pretty much every KDE app. I do mean all of them. With other distros, I either have to go hunting for what packages are named what in the repos and spend hours getting everything setup and installed. While on Slackware, I pick the partitions, install, and I have a full desktop with everything I could possibly need.

    Some would say “Oh, but that would take a lot of disk space.”, and funny thing about that, is with BTRFS compressio enabled. A full install of Slackware is only 4gb =P
