Thursday Thoughts
There's a difference between simply using an operating system and truly understanding it.
Slackware encourages you to take that extra step.
Its simplicity isn't about hiding complexity behind layers of abstraction. It's about giving you the freedom to explore, understand, and control your system.
That's one of the reasons I've stayed with Slackware for over 20 years.
