Since /g/ still has some slackers around, I have a few questions for you.
1. Why is there no effort at all to properly advertise Slackware? The website is a complete outdated shit and the community remains in the LQ forums
2. How do you manage packages in Slack? Sbopkg + Slackbuilds? How do you deal with orphans? It seems hell to find dependencies that are no more necessary
I really think Slack is awesome, but it seems to be loosing steam in the past years. I hope Pat and co. will be able to modernize it while keeping the slackway alive

It is not about being modern that is the whole point. I don't want to worry about new crap like systemd. Hell I didn't even want Pulse Audio, but here we are.
So to answer your question: I don't use slackware to use a package manager, and building from source really isn't as hard as you might think. Occasionally I do use a slack build though, and they work pretty well in my experience.
Also I like the website. I can find my way around it, and it doesn't assault me with pop ups so its better than 95% of the modern web right there.

I hope Slackware remains true to itself, and as far as possible from systemd. However, I really do think they should work on their website and community environment to bring new users to Slack.
