The Slackware Linux Project: Slackware Release Announcement:

Well folks, in spite of the dire predictions of YouTube pundits, this morning the Slackhog emerged from its development den, did *not* see its shadow, and Slackware 15.0 has been officially released - another six weeks (or years) of the development treadmill averted.

My favorite Linux distro has updated, and remains

systemd

free thank goodness.
