Is slackware still widely used?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't think Slackware was ever widely used
Among Linux users it was.
Back in the day it was THE distro. Not so much these days.
One of the first 64-bit capable distros, too.
Was, still is. Slackware users tend to not hype their distro of choice. Because, slack. :pipe:
By the way I use Slackware doesn't really roll off the tongue.
Too many folks just ain't right with "Bob."
