Is Slackware a major Linux distribution? There's nothing wrong with Slackware, and no reason why fwupd wouldn't work on that distro -- but it's not one that most people would considered "major" IMHO. There are no GNOME deps on fwupd, although there are a couple of GNOME frontends available -- as there is also a CLI and KDE frontend.

Slackware is the oldest active Linux distribution.
Older doesn't mean major though.
As someone who has never used Slackware, I think Slackware is important, whether or not it's 'major'.
Subjective. Debatable.
