Contrary to Nik's 2ยข I would say Q4OS *is* worth bothering, especialy if you
want to introduce new users to both Debian and TDE.
I got a colleague to install it (1.8) on a netbook - he came to Linux after
KDE 3 and did not know TDE at all.
*And* I would add that they do an ARM version (I think not yet based on Debian
9) that runs TDE on the Raspberry pi and similar machines (where KDE and
Gnome 3 have no chance at all).
I have a Raspberry pi running TDE in my shade, running a TCL front end to a
USB thermometer, that I can check over wifi with Kdrc, lot fo fun :)

I don't particularly like the Q4OS focus on being a Windows replacement (I
also do not have any particular issues with Windows - use what works best in the
particular use scenario) . I feel a distro should be confident enough in its own right and
do things it's own way . Having said that it is clear Q4OS have been successful in
attracting attention in the technical press - being truthful I did not know of TDE until I
came across it in Q4OS.
Also if the Q4OS devs are submitting bug reports etc back to TDE devs then that is a good
thing and to be welcomed - maybe even they might be prepared to help out with TDE
development ?
