“for users that just wants to have a system that works without the need to use terminal or being afraid of destroying system files”
Wouldn’t such users want a distro they can trust because people they trust have checked it to be safe? No Wikipedia article yet, no ratings or reviews on distrowatch. Why would a normal user trust a distro who’s 1st preview was announced less than a year ago? Shouldn’t the distro be targeting tinkers and super users, so they can give a thumbs up or down for the normal users?
I trust Debian even tho I don’t have that much confidence in people who think GNOME is a good default UI. I dislike Ubuntu for many reasons, but lots of people vastly smarter than me have looked at their code for more than 20 years now.



And Alma started at 8.3 because that was the version of RHEL it was based on, which started at 2.1 (but not because of RL, which was then at 6.1.92).
