The last version to be released was 14.2 back in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Development had been slow. Volderding stated that his focus for this release was to modernize Slackware without alienating fans at a time when Linux development is moving away from its Unix-like structure. That way it could be kept familiar and modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Linux kernel version for this release is version 5.15.19, which has long-term support until at least October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slackware 15.0 release includes <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/kde\">KDE<\/a> Plasma 5, version 5.23.5, and Xfce 4.16 with KDE having the ability to run under Wayland or X11. Zenwalk has also released a new version of its desktop environment built on top of Slackware 15 and based on Xfce 4.16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another highlight of this release is that it comes with programming languages <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/rust\">Rust<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/python\">Python<\/a> 3. Qt4 has been dropped in favor of <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/qt\">Qt5<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the email side of things, the default mail handler is Postfix while Dovecot <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/imap\">IMAP<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/pop3\">POP3<\/a> server are the defaults handlers for those respective protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The x86_64 edition has support for systems running UEFI firmware if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always you can find out more details about this release from the official Slackware website <a href=\"https:\/\/arm.slackware.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The maintainers of Slackware Linux have recently published Slackware 15.0 Release of the oldest Linux distribution that is still being actively maintained.
