I installed it last night and had an absolute blast, it ships with Plasma 25th anniversary edition which has had a lot of polish, looks absolutely superb and remains my favourite environment to use (Though MacOS is becoming a very close second). I always prefer to use Slackware when it comes to Linux due to how nice and simple the system is to set up and configure (no systemd is a huge advantage IMO) and once it's set up to my liking it does what no other OS does and stays out of the way.
