      Like a lot of Linux distros, this should have just been a window manager theme and maybe a helper app

      Absolutely no sense bringing in stuff like init system and depmod and C compiler version when what you care about is UI theming

          oh and props for that… for doing and making new things in general

          Just that distro-where-a-theme-would-do is something I see a lot of and people might wind up tackling a larger harder problem than they need to and not spending as much time & effort on the stuff they intended to.

          And, a lot lot lot more people can easily download & appreciate a theme than move distros (though some perverse individuals make a habit of the latter)

      If using era-appropriate hardware, I wonder if you could use archived Kubuntu repos to upgrade one at a time until it’s a modern Linux kernel.
