    I would say that a large community distro has most longevity of all variants. It doesn’t matter if some leave, others will join. It also doesn’t matter that the distro ain’t making profit, because it isn’t a company.

      Yeah, but the keyword is large. Because there are many community distros that are hardly updated. Case and point, Spiral Linux is still stuck in bookworm, even though this week 450 people downloaded its iso.
