No distribution that lacks both TDE (which depends on Packman) and KDE3 (from which TDE forked) is more than a curiosity to me. KDE, since its most recent restart from scratch called Plasma 5, remains too big a bunch of headaches to depend on, besides having an ugly eyestraining default theme and continuing to lack KDE3 (and/or KDE4) functionality I'm accustomed to with KDE3/TDE.
Understood, that's fine, good luck with your future with a new distribution that has TDE in it's official repositories.. I guess that means Debian..oh wait, no, lets check Ubuntu? Nope.. RedHat/CentOS? Doesn't seem so.. Fedora? Oh my, not even them.. Mageia? Nope... Mandriva? Not according to the TDE wiki.. PCLinuxOS? Guess again.. Slackware? Wrong again.. Arch? Not since July 2015..
Looks like your only hope is ALT Linux http://www.altlinux.com/ - good luck!
Your thought box seems to be a bit constrained. One builds one's OS tool starting with the best available distro, one with good foundation in QA, management, track record, YaST and zypper, then adds whatever else is required to get the job done. The label "official" simply isn't relevant. KDE dropped the ball years ago with its first from scratch restart, then did it again, morphing into something very different from what many used to the best grew to depend on. Meanwhile, TDE picked that ball up. That TDE is not a part of any distro is simply not relevant except in lacking opportunity to participate in distro development other than with Stretch.
