    Doesn’t Debian already effectively fill that niche? The 18 months of support that Mageia has isn’t very LTS compared to Debian’s 5 years.

      Debian supports their version for two years. Then you need to upgrade.

      But I just think more options are always good. Only having one just limits us to a mono-culture if we don’t want to go with some corporate solution.

        If that’s your argument, Mageia only supports each of the version for two years since release.

        I do agree that diversity is good tho.
