Bringing Flatpak to Slackware is a very inspiring endeavor that brings Linux data independence to another level.
Yes, you can be against it philosophically all you want, but the fact that most of the software you need is now available for easy installation on any distro is pretty awesome.
And IMO, it puts the Slack back into Slackware. It's supposed to be a distro for lazy people.
Linux
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.
