Is slackware still widely used? - eviltoast

I’m looking into advanced distros (like arch) and slackware is fascinating. Is it still supported/used? If you’d like to comment an alternative distro, please do.

    I run a server on unraid.

    Honestly, it works as a way to cut your teeth with a type 1 hypervisor.

    Fairly user friendly, and the community seems to offer a lot of support.

    That being said, I mainly use it as a file server and a place to host containerized stuff that doesn’t need to bog down a gaming rig.

    I got the hardware for free, so other than upgading the CPU to 10 cores (used, 50 dollars, not bad) and paying for electricity, it just churns along doing its thing.
