I feel out of the loop, what's Slackware?
The oldest Linux distro that's still maintained to this day.
With an extreme focus on the KISS principle (simplicity in design) and stability.
It basically still works the same way it did 30 years ago.
With fewer floppy disks though.
The repos are still divided into Disksets, though.
The linux distro you want to have on a usb stick if the apocalypse breaks out.
is it more stable than debian?
No, unless stability is very little change.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianStability
That's what it means... A dead distro is the most stable.
but secure, that the sweet spot, stable enough but not sacrificing security
People use OS' for different things. As an admin I'd love to have an os that's just there and never needs any attention. I'll have to investigate if slackware fits the bill :)
One of the original Linux distributions. It was created in like 93 or 94.
