Where LiMux failed, GendBuntu succeeded (piefed.social)

I've seen some people point to LiMux as a failure because they switched back to MS, but where LiMux failed GendBuntu (a version of Ubuntu adapted for use by France's National Gendarmerie) runs on over 100,000 stations and is going strong.

i wonder why big operating systems like Debian-derivatives are used instead of smaller ones like TinyCore linux. smaller codebase ought to be simpler to maintain completely?

They are more commonly used and thus have a large community and documentation and packages also from commercial vendors.
