The reasoning behind this move, as shared by Erik, is his advancing age and him realizing that he doesn't have the same level of mental focus or stamina he used to have before. He has found himself making small mistakes, the kind that can negatively affect a major undertaking like this.

No telemetry, no analytics

Kiro doesn't phone home. No usage stats, no crash reports, no opt-in dialogs hidden in defaults. Your install is yours.

Honestly, don't use hobby distros unless it's just for testing purposes. They will fail you in the end, always.
That being said, if you want to check out another hobby distro, PikaOS is pretty fucking cool: https://wiki.pika-os.com/

Why use the same name as an existing tech product? If he doesn't get sued then it's still bad seo
