      It’s been ages but I remember Funtoo as a kinda quirky, opinionated (I think/hope that’s the right term? 😅 ) fork/offshoot of Gentoo by Gentoo’s originator that was intended to do things in ways deemed more sensible and allow more authority by the user. The only specific thing I remember is they dumped systemd or at least allowed building a system that didn’t use it.* 🤷 I only tried it once and not for long so that’s all I’ve got, sorry 😅

      * Very bad memory on my part, should probably have just said something something systemd or such 😅

          Hmm. Fears of it being required? Irritation at it being the default? I’m sure there was something 😅 Ugh, now I’m embarrassed and feel like a fake Gentooer v.v

          Wikipedia says Funtoo doesn’t even support systemd 🤔 I guess that was it. … Kinda weird to not support it at all but whatever, I guess. Gentoo take me baaaack 🥺 … When I’ve got a system that won’t melt if I try to build anything on it 😅

    Welp, I guess that decides for me whether I’ll be going to Gentoo or Funtoo once I get a real box again. Seems kinda odd to just end it like that. Whole distro’s just over now? :-\

      Handing it off to someone creates a whole new set of second hand responsibility, if the new maintainers go on to add something malicious.

      a la: xz backdoor

      The creator was shunned until everyone figured out he had handed it off to someone else.

      If someone wants to continue, they can always fork it.
