It's 8/10 for me, because:
Positive:
* It's a Manjaro based distro, wich means a stable rolling release model.
* They always update their ISO's: one comes with an older kernel (suitable for older PC's), one with an LTS kernel (the recommended version, for the most cases) and another with a newer kernel (for newer PC's).
* It's easy to install and use (you don't need to use the command line, if you don't want it).
Negative:
* It only offers Plasma desktop, no choice. It could offer at least one more DE.
* I think it's a little bloated, maybe it's a good ideia to have a minimal version download option, like Manjaro does.
Conclusion: It has a lot of potential!
