Slackware wasn't the first Linux distro, but it's the oldest still alive and kicking
What's surprising about Slackware today is that in some ways, it's superficially quite similar to how it was back then. There are no fripperies such as live graphical desktops here. It boots to a login prompt, and then you're expected to manually run aprogram, and use very 1990s DOS-style text-mode menus to tick boxes for the components that you want installed.
The flipside of this is that all of our hardware was automatically detected, and it was all remarkably easy from then on. The setup program includes a choice of graphical desktop environments, and we particularly appreciated the jokey description of Xfce as a"Cholesterol Free Desktop Environment.
