The release of Slackware 15 this week caught me completely off guard, but now that it's here there has never been a better time to try Slackware.

With the latest 5.15 LTS kernel, full support for UEFI, the latest anniversary edition of Plasma, XFCE, and a range of window managers, you have choices a plenty.

In this video I demonstrate what I do, and this includes a UEFI installation with grub, sudo and a new user setup before the first reboot. I also demo how to set the generic kernel as default in grub.

Be warned, this a long video and doesn't even scratch the surface of this venerable distro and what it offers. I suggest you see this video as an addition to my other Slackware videos which cover the following:
