    I’m not familiar with slackware but why is specific kernel called generic, while generic one is not called generic? I’m puzzled

      I have no idea either.

      Edit: Did some reading. “Linux-generic” is just the name of the linux kernel that is used in most computers (as opposed to Linux-realtime, which is the only other Linux kernel that’s still relevant).
