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.

ngl, I love how "I don't give a fuck" the slackware authors are, they didn't even bother with https on their official website.
I love how their official "support" page links to a website that includes this:
https://www.steubentech.com/~talon/desktop/
lmao this is exactly the image that would pop into my head if I imagine a Slackware user in 2023.
You don't need SSL if you're not exchanging sensitive information.
If they aren't exchanging sensitive information, then it's less not giving a fuck and more not using technologies 'just because' everyone else is.
It's a smart move.
