Is that what set @FredBezies off? 
Yeah, that’s a fair point.
It’s quite likely that they haven’t copied anything from EndeavourOS and that the similarities are mere coincidence. But even if they had copied everything from EndeavourOS, I still think there would have been nothing wrong with that.

Wait until you hear about what Rocky, Alma and Oracle have done…

Ubuntu is the basis of many distros and I don’t think Canonical is offended. Imitation is a form of flattery. Maybe a similar fate awaits EOS! Imagine an entire family of distros with purple DNA…

That’s bad…
It is not about me at all. I just wanted to show how resurces are spent nowadays.
Once again, I showed a project which will not last long. It is a clean arch based, so it can be saved after the project is stopped.
We can see it that way too.
And you can jump from the Golden Gate bridge into the water too, because you just can
Well… 
I’m not set off. I’m just fed up with copies of copies of copies endlessly.
Sorry to be a nearly 20 years old linux user who see that FOSS world is sometimes blocked in early 2000, mentally speaking.

I do not understand why the “friendly” EOS community is always so interested in talking bad about something that is not EOS?
I do not need to and should not be justifying this, but I am commenting to just make thing clear.
Responding to some of the claims regarding “copying”, “why does it exist” etc
- TCET Linux is meant for TCET students, it is a distro for a college. It has nothing to do with EOS. Kindly stop bringing it up here. It is in no way a competition to EOS, or trying to be like EOS. I don’t understand why outsiders are taking interest in it (negatively).
- The theme and iso-profile is loosely based on ALG XFCE (another project of mine which is bad mouthed here), and not endeavouros. Neither is the way of doing things or any of the scripts related to EOS. Calling it a copy is not correct at all.
- The astro is the org logo which has many other projects, not related to linux, and are used everywhere.
- Whether it lasts for 6 months or 6 days is none of your kind concern. Use case is the students of this college (which is way more than 20)

Yes i can only repeat that there is way to much offence against TCET, i do also not understand that really… everything we do is free and open to be used as you like.
In the background of Calamares there is a great collaboration across the borders of the individual distributions.
Started by Eric (Arco Linux) we joined forces to help each other to share code and thus speed up and simplify the work with the installer.
Everyone should take this as an example. Linux is a small world and will only grow if we start to transform these to a new cooperation instead.
@demonkiller you are welcome here in the same way as @eznix and others no matter how opininonated small ar big they are no matter if they do use tools initially created by EndeavourOS or Garuda or Manjaro.
In Discussion here we keep it civil here, and we do stay open to opinions and other sights.

C’mon man. This is clearly a strawman. Jumping off a bridge and making a linux distro are two different things with vastly different consequences. One potentially causes death while the other results in a tool that can be used. Drawing parallels between the two is hardly fair, even if it was done in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
As a linux user for over 2 decades, then you surely must know what free and open source means? It refers to software that, I quote, “can be distributed under the terms that allow users to run it for any purpose as well as to study, change, and distribute it and any adapted version.” I’m pretty sure people are free to modify and distribute free software in 2023 as they were in 2000.

Personally i wish you a good luck and fun times, it’s super cool in my opinion that TCET as many other schools and universities in India are using, promoting and creating Linux! 
I can only wish my school and university wasn’t forcing Windoze garbage out my throat…I could save so much time unlearning it

One of the great things about EndeavourOS forum is that people are allowed to have their opinions, even if they are sometimes complete jerks.1 Moderating unpopular opinions, as long as they do not go into sensitive stuff like politics and religion, would make this a very dull place.
But please do not think this is a reflection of the entire community. There are many of us here who think what you are doing is awesome and congratulate you for it!
I want to welcome you to the forum, and I hope you stick around for a bit, and see that this is actually a very nice place.
1 I’ve been on a rare occasion negative about stuff I consider to be complete buggy mess unworthy of existence (like Pamac, for example… if any software project could be called cancer, which is a rather strong word I typically don’t use, it is that, as it has DDoS’d the AUR on multiple occasions and actually caused harm, unlike random Linux distros…) 
So it would be hypocritical and unfair of me to be judgemental of others who are sometimes negative about stuff. It’s okay to have an opinion.

Truly, it is a wonder that you didn’t start the list with Gnome.
I could very well have.

Hello everyone,
I’m a member of the TCET Linux team! Our group consists of a bunch of passionate and inquisitive college students who are embarking on the journey of creating our very own Linux distribution. The primary aim of TCET Linux is to serve as an educational tool within our college community. This project was conceived as a way to cultivate a fun and enlightening learning experience for all those who are part of it.
Our ultimate goal is to kindle a greater interest and engagement among students at our college in the realm of Linux development. Through TCET Linux, we aspire to inspire fellow students to dive into the world of Linux, fostering a sense of curiosity and enthusiasm for this dynamic field. By participating in this project, we hope to create a ripple effect of increased involvement and passion for Linux development among our peers.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum, @Vedant_Pol, thanks for joining! I hope you stick around.
I can only repeat what I said above: I wish there was a project like that at my university when I was a student. I’d be all over it. Keep doing what you’re doing. There will be negative feedback, don’t take it to heart. Sometimes (rarely though), there will even be value in it that will help you become better.

Thank you for introducing these students to Linux and for taking the time to prepare a distribution geared towards their particular use cases. This is exactly what the GPL is all about.

word!
This is the idea from the beginning… but it went very hard to handle sometimes too.
Not only in what we have here also from the püoint of Moderation … humans are very opinionated in a way.
I have learned something called “Dialektik” (German)
invented by Hegel:
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hegel-dialectics/
thesis <—> antithesis == synthesis
Where indeed it is not aölways possible to find synthesis…
(but i stop now)

Surely you can understand why organisations create their own forks and downstream spin-offs of particular distros? I mean Google has a gLinux which is pretty much Debian testing. Having project leads who know the distribution intimately is really useful when stuff inevitably breaks/bugs need fixing.
