There are plenty of old Linux Distros that are still around. One of the most popular is Slackware. Slackware is a traditional Linux Distro. It does not use systemd, and treats Linux more like a free clone of Unix than it’s own thing. It is stable, and great for both desktops and servers. I am going to go over the benefits, and why you might want to consider using Slackware on your computer.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

    Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
