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 😅

That's essentially it, but Gentoo has never required systemd.

[–] RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social 3 points 3 months ago

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? :-\

Distro ended guys, please move along, nothing to see!

At least hand it off to someone instead of just letting it die facedown.

[–] pop@lemmy.ml 51 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

Appreciate the clarification, you just learned me one. Gotta love the discourse on Lemmy.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

It's open source, isn't it? If anyone is really interested, they can fork it.
