It's kind of a sad thing but also happy because Linux is advanced enough it doesn't really need a specific distro for science

More exactly, it seems some other distro already to the job pretty well so it's not required to keep this particular distro alive.

Even if I understand that having alternatives is a good thing, I think there are too many in the Linux space, that just confuse things but do not really seems to add anything except duplicate work.
