Hi All,
I've been running Slackware since forever. It's time to grow up and see
the world. Which distro would you recommend that I move to? Yes, I
know it's personal, and reasons will be varied and educational.
William,
Why do you want to switch from Slackware? I hope you understand
that when you switch to Ubuntu or Fedora, you will have to locate and
install the fortune cookie.
William,
I agree with most of the other comments. The only other thing is if you want an
Arch base but avoid
the default install you can try: https://manjaro.org/download/. The Arch
install isn't too bad, but
that seems like your only nit with it, so maybe this is better for you. You do
give up on the issues
with being "custom" but maybe you don't care about that.
As to the other comments about Pacman speed, it gets even better if you use
powerpill according to
other reports. I've not used it but here is the documentation:

Not sure that helps you or others,
Nick
