I think that I will recommend Void Linux to you.
The reasons are as follows :
1. rolling release as Gentoo and Arch.
2. use runit as init system.
3. Its package manager, xbps, is easy and quick to install/update/remove
software.

I'd say not close at all. Slackware uses pretty outdated software and i=
