The ease at which anyone could create a new Linux distribution is both a good and bad aspect of the operating system in general. There are dozens of larger mainstream distributions in widespread use, as well as dozens of smaller distributions that serve a niche purpose well (e.g., Alpine). Unfortunately, there's also dozens of other distributions that claim to serve a purpose but don't actually do so, or overlap with other distributions that do so better. My initial impression from reading their website is that Adélie falls into the latter category. In other words, it isn't particular clear what niche or purpose Adélie is aimed at solving that other distributions don't already solve.
- palata 3y agoIf there is a community contributing to a distro and those people can daily-drive it, it's perfectly fine for me. A small community is very nice to learn: I tried Adelie in the past and I had to do stuff I never even conceived was necessary on another distro, and the community was helpful. In the meantime, Ubuntu is busy helping newbies run their terminal. Bonus if the distro does not use systemd or is not a copy of Ubuntu. Diversity is good.
