Whats so great about slackware compared to gentoo/LFS?

It require more autism
It's the sanest distro and will save the Linux world, soon.
When Poettering conquered all.
When pacman ate the final configuration.
When Canonical put spyware into everything.
When Gentoo compiled for the final day.
When Debian freezes forever.
Slackware will be there. As it always has been.
Obedient, stable, powerful, fast.
No bullshit.
No political agenda.
No chasing of fads that lead nowhere.
Longest experience in the Linux world.
Weathered the time with such a tiny team and almost nonexistent budget.
No branding, keeps software as it was intended, no xXxSephirothXxXHackeRxXxVegeta distro flavored patches.
Just clean old fun.
Always and forever.
Slackware.

How can something being more autistic be seen as a positive trait?
Do you pick which toilet to use based on which one looks to have the most shit residue around the bowl?

This. A thousand times this. Spent years wondering what my problem was with Windows...shit getting moved around in Control Panel, fundamentals just never clicked because it wasn't shown in a crappy little GUI somewhere. Things changing every major version number, so software salesmen can justify themselves.
So starting Linux back in 2006 on Slackware, it felt like a breath of fresh air. After messing around with *buntus for years, Slackware is my distro of choice at work and at home. It's still the one distro where I just feel like I have the best "feel" for what's going on under the hood.
Upsides...
- Minimal services running by default
- Forces you to do some basic low level stuff, which consequently...
- Gives you the tools to bail your ass out of numerous situations
- No systemd
- "Vanilla" linux distro...you feel like you're learning linux, rather than learning Debian, Red Hat, etc.
- It just feels sturdy as hell
- Installing packages is caveman simple
- You have to track down package dependencies by hand
Downsides...
- You have to track down package dependencies by hand

Every decade insists it's the best, because you lie to yours-
GOD DAMN IT. I fell for it again.
