Hey folks! It's been a long time, but as usual we had to get everything just
exactly perfect, and you just can't rush that. We are very happy to announce
the availability of the new Slackware 15.0 stable release. There have been way
too many changes to even begin to cover them here, but for our dedicated user
base suffice to say that you'll find things modern but also familiar. We've gone
with the 5.15.19 Linux kernel (part of the 5.15.x kernel series that will be
getting long-term support from the kernel developers). You'll also enjoy a
refreshed desktop experience including the KDE Plasma 25th Anniversary Edition
with support for Wayland sessions.
For additional information, see the official announcement
and the release notes.
For a complete list of included packages, see the package list.
Build scripts for all kinds of additional software for Slackware 15.0 can be found on
the slackbuilds.org website.
Want to give Slackware 15.0 a test drive without modifying your disk drive? Then check out
Slackware Live Edition! This is a complete Slackware installation that can run from a DVD
or USB stick. Thanks to Eric Hameleers for the great work on this! Here's where to find it:

Thanks to the Slackware team for all the hard work on getting Slackware 15.0 ready.
And of course, thanks to all the open source developers upstream, and to the Slackware
community on linuxquestions.org
for all the help with bug reports, suggestions, and patches.
We couldn't have done it without you.
Enjoy the new stable release!
Pat and the Slackware crew
