It seems to be a perfectly reasonable request to me. You 'suggested'
the OP to 'look into' some 'lookalike' distro on distrowatch but
didn't give a link or even a name. NoOp asks only for those or at
least one of them. Otherwise your 'help' to the OP is really no help.
I think he only gets under your skin because it is thin.
