You'll also be probably shocked to hear that i'm a Slackware user in their 20's =P
Been using Slackware going on 3 years now.
Regular Slackware user here.
The biggest reason I use Slackware personally is that it's the only distro I'd consider a "full system" out of the box. What that means, is that I install it, and I don't really install much outside of the repos.
For example, the kde
set comes with pretty much every KDE app. I do mean all of them. With other distros, I either have to go hunting for what packages are named what in the repos and spend hours getting everything setup and installed. While on Slackware, I pick the partitions, install, and I have a full desktop with everything I could possibly need.
Some would say "Oh, but that would take a lot of disk space.", and funny thing about that, is with BTRFS compressio enabled. A full install of Slackware is only 4gb =P
They're moving to ZIP Disks!
Shortest code in the game

Until recently, that "support" had been a barely supported forks of the linux kernel that were barely updated, and was so locked down that custom rom support was a pipedream on snapdragon processors. Which to be fair, is par for the course on most ARM chipsets (It's the reason you see a lot of custom roms for android have extremely old and outdated kernels)
I'm glad to see more ARM companies moving towards working with upstream projects, and not just making working on their stuff a PITA to protect "Trade Secrets" or some bullshit like that.
I've done it before. It's not particularly difficult, just very time consuming. And at the end, you're left with a distribution that's not really that useful without repackaging everything you did into a package manager so you can do updates without borking it.
Great as a learning tool to see how the whole GNU/Linux stack works, but not something you'd use practically.
Gnome breaking shit for no reason as always =P
Seriously, this is as simple as keeping symbolic links for compatibility, but they won't do it because it maybe might possibly lead to issues.
Eh, you can host a gitea instance on a $3.50 VPS pretty easily. I don't think money will be an issue when it comes to hosting and serving.
I've tried it before, the speeds are abysmal to the point of being unusable. It took me 3 days to download something that was only 50mb when I last tried it.
Please tell you to at least have Freexian patches installed...
