Slackware 15.0 Beta (current branch) released earlier this week, and it's shaping up quite well.

Enjoy! :-) I've run Slackware64-current now for over a year, since the upgrade to kernel 5.4.x and then 5.10.x. I made the switch from 14.2 (stable) so I could take advantage of a new XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC Ultra III GPU via amdgpu and the new Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 9 3900X with Gigabyte X570 motherboards. The performance and stability has been exceptional, and getting better. There is a lot to like about Slackware, so give it a try. There is a live version that tracks Current here: https://docs.slackware.com/slackware:liveslak This new Slackware release will make a fabulous long term support release. Remember: *ALL* Slackware stable releases are LTS!
