Slackware exists as a moral reference in the Linux ecosystem.
Not to be popular -- but to remind us what matters.
Transparency over abstraction.
Stability over novelty.
Responsibility over convenience.
This video explains why Slackware is loved even when not used daily:
transparent design, stable behavior, no silent changes -- and the honest trade-off of time for control.
