Is Slackware still relevant to anyone here?
It looks like it still gets package updates and security bulletins, but hasn't had an OS release in 4 years, and I basically don't ever see it mentioned in any modern Linux distro discussion.

@seanmiddleditch a quick search reveals it has latest g++. I've never used it but I wouldn't write it off too quickly. https://slackware.pkgs.org/15.0/slackware-testing-x86_64/gcc-g++-15.2.0-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz.html
