It always will be so long as Pat maintains it, I stopped using it years ago though. It lost its way trying to compete with Desktop OSes, and pretty much Arch replaced that niche, now we have Artix, Void and Alpine.
I do like the approach of 64 bit packages only. Serperating my other programs to conty for say my gamings, to keep my system clean. I did not try creating a vm, as there is a documentation to create kvm/ qemu virt manager , so that will be something i look forward to try so i can just gpu passthrough with slackware as the host.

This, with the prevalence of containers, slackware has the edge as a stable host system. Even slackware + nixpkg is pretty interesting.
That’s how I’ve been managing the last little bit after going back to Slackware. Good stable combination.
Nixpkg something i haven’t tried. I’ll check that out thanks.
