Firstly because of the simplicity of the init system and the whole OS in general and secondly, because of the high-performance binaries it contains, Slackware works perfectly in older devices or virtual machine; and we hope one day this project gets supported by official Slackware developers.\n\n### Credits\n\n- Patrick Volkerding and Slackware community for making this distro\n- Microsoft for WSL and distro launcher\n- PNGEgg for the Logo\n\n#### Contributors\n\n- [Reza Talebi](https://github.com/Rezat4795) - Distro fine-tuning, integration and kernel customization\n- [Mohsen Seifi](https://github.com/Mohsens22) - Distro launcher and WSL integration\n\n### Contributing\n\nYou can [send us issues](https://github.com/Mohsens22/WSLackware/issues) and let us know about bugs, feature requests or anything that we need to know.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["C++"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FMahStudio%2FWSLackware","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FMahStudio%2FWSLackware","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FMahStudio%2FWSLackware/lists"}
