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.

A big part of LiMux failing was the UI. It was simply ugly and complicated. People simply did not want to work with it.
