Pratham OS: Linux distro based on Debian Sid

For a distro marketed as having The Power Of Simplicity, the website leaves me confused about what makes this distro unique, who it is for, what problem it solves, or even what makes it simple.

In fact the website seems to go out of its way to shove complexity in my face.

And me naively thinking this would be something worthwhile looking at, instead of yet another Linux copy.

The project should consider https/ssl for the website.

It looks like they also offer a premium version when you PayPal them $5 or more

> All Contributions Of & Above $5, Are Eligible For A Private Download Link To PrathamOS Full Edition. http://www.prathamos.com/Index.html#connect

Seems weird that this doesn't seem to be advertised otherwise, or include a description of what's in the premium edition.

Right! It actually took me clicking around a bit to even find it was a Linux distro. I was hoping for something different
