This is probably me being an exceedingly old grumpy boomer greybeard, but this is why I don’t bother with whatever shiny distro everyone likes unless it’s got a proper governance/oversight setup via a properly formed foundation or similar.
Anything short of that pretty much is a strong indicator that it’s not trustworthy or reliable and, well, this can happen.
Debian or Ubuntu or Fedora or even Arch are unlikely to magically vanish because someone gets bored, and I feel bad for the people who spent time and effort or even money on this project, but, uh, yeah. Don’t trust one-person shows.
Not exactly shiny and new as it was established in 2008…
But he is right. As long as a distro is maintained by one individual, it is at risk of being discontinued at any time he can no longer maintain it.
Funtoo did came up with interesting concepts to improve Gentoo with. I hope they get to live on.
Can anyone tell what this funtoo project is? Never heard of it, sorry.
Derivative of Gentoo by the founder of Gentoo.
