False dichotomy - it’s a risk assessment. Distros take work to maintain. The fewer people there are in a community, the less likely there will be people who want to do that work. Maybe the AntiX developers remain committed for the next 10 years, I hope so, I like the feature set and the mission. But I’ve seen enough niche distros halt development - and been burned before by Crunchbang - to be wary of them. I haven’t seen a distro of Debian’s scale stop development yet.
