I don’t love the default XFCE look but the default in distros like EndeavourOS or CachyOS are awesome. It is like a totally different DE.

I am not sure how I feel about it but there seems to be some resistance in the GTK world. Desktops like Cinnamon,MATE, and XFCE have said they are going to stick with GTK3. Mint has proposed a common suite of GTK3 apps called Xapps that would maintain GTK3 versions of some of the applications that GNOME has pulled to GTK4.

One of the best things about the GTK world was that you had a choice of DEs but got the same universe of “native” applications with any of them. Sadly, it seems that there may now be GNOME and “other GTK” DE universes. On the plus side, there will be a haven for those that want off the GNOME train without as much “left behind” feel as MATE users have had.

Um, it is fast and light?

United Linux - the famous Red Hat Enterprise Linux killer!

I think you mean Chimera Linux

I never used Caldera Linux but I did use their DOS for a while.

DSL is basically an Antix spin now ( which is itself basically just Debian ).

I had not noticed that KDE is available for Chimera now. Very cool.

WSL isn’t a distro.

I think you mean Azure Linux ( formerly CBL Mariner ):

They are using pacman obviously :)

Well, since they missed 24.10 as well, it is going to be 25.04 at this point.
