@allison How many people still even remember Slackware?
@xianc78 I'd say there's a not-insignificant portion of users here and elsewhere who are still actively using it and will never switch away. As for more general Linux users, I don't know, it may not hold the prominence it did in the 90s, but I certainly wouldn't call it a forgotten distro by any stretch (especially compared to stuff like Source Mage and Gobolinux)

@allison Slackware was the only "advance distro" that I even tried. Granted it was a SlackwareLive because vanilla Slackware doesn't have a live environment, but I really didn't think that much of it. I always stuck with Mint because I'm afraid of messing things up.
I find it hard to believe that I've been using Linux for almost a decade and I still don't have a grasp on the inner workings of it.

@xianc78 I'm not even sure I'd call it an advanced distro. Rather, it's the kind of system where things change slowly if ever and as a result it has a lot of attractiveness to people who get constantly burned by change (which, lets face it, in the Linux ecosystem, is a hell of a lot of people)
