    Slackware 15

    Edited: Feb 18 2022

    Summary: I hopped from distro to distro for several years then discovered Slackware based system and eventually educated myself to the original. Have never looked back. I often try other systems out of interest, but Slackware is my production operating system.

    Positive: Extremely stable even the rolling version (current) is more stable than most production systems. Does not alter upstream packages unless absolutely necessary. It follows a consistent Unix base so you learn Gnu Linux linearly and your knowledge is generic.

    Negative: It is not suitable for users who are unwilling to learn some terminal commands and how the system works behind fluffy GUIs.
