Slackware's release cycle is way too slow and it gets slower with each release. The current stable version (14.2) was released three years ago and it doesn't support modern hardware. Additionally, due to a bug in the installer, it's impossible to install it on NVMe drives.

Also, I don't understand why does it ship with KDE4 instead of Plasma 5. Even in -current it's still the case.

Slackware-current is very usable as a day-to-day machine. It hasn't been broken in years.
