    idk about 2025 but as of a few years ago, Slackware used to not have a dependency resolver in whatever it uses to download packages. You had to resolve dependencies manually.

    Luckily I switched to Gentoo and 3 years later after my system was done compiling, it was already out of date so when I used emerge to update my system, it borked itself because it was so out of date.

      Yes, but Slackware. That’s obviously intentional

        And OP did specify “popular”, which Slackware hasn’t been since the late 90s
