Slackware Linux Review
Review
In case you've never heard of Slackware Linux, here's a verbatim rundown from the site: "Since its first beta release in April of 1993, the Slackware Linux Project has aimed at producing the most "UNIX-like" Linux distribution out there. Slackware complies with the published Linux standards, such as the Linux File System Standard. We have always considered simplicity and stability paramount, and as a result Slackware has become one of the most popular, stable, and friendly distributions available."
The UI is very nice, good black-on-white, high-contrast scheme. The website gets directly to the point, unlike newer distros. The download page being labeled "Get Slack" may confuse people and they may think they are downloading the business chat app "Slack". Slackware's website offers a vintage, well made site that many modern sites can't rival.

On the bright side Slackware Linux has very good propaganda, including
In true Slackware spirit, here’s a little Bash review:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
slack="ware"
Ware="Slack"
is="a"
distro="good"
Good="distro"
echo "$Ware$slack is $is $distro $Good, I've assumed that off their website."
echo "Slackware is 9/10."
