MODERATORS
I'm not entirely familiar with Slackware, do you have to run -current or else you get YEARS old programs?
Partially. You do get security updates, and you do get newer versions for programs where backporting isn't feasible (like Firefox, Thunderbird, etc).
That's just the narrow niche Slackware lives in - more KISS than Arch and more stable than Debian.
You can also add Flatpak, of course. And it's easier than on any other distro to install different software versions yourself, since the package manager doesn't stand in your way.
