    Honest question: why not?

    Mind you, I have not used it in (checks notes) 15 years, but I have relatively good memories if it, it was one of the better mainstream distros for those using KDE.

    I use Arch BTW.

      It’s not the distro that’s the problem, it’s the company that controls it.

      I think the model of an open source version of a proprietary/commercial distro is broken at a business model level.

      How many times over the years have we seen the commercial entity make the open source product worse on purpose.

      Red Hat, Canonical and SUSE all have mixed histories with their communities.

      Personally, I think a debian, arch or KDE style project, funded by donations, is much more sustainable and responsive to its communities.
