Funtoo
Trying to lookup some information about Gentoo Linux and I came across Funtoo. It seems this is a fork of Gentoo that is maintained by Daniel Robbins.
Daniel Robbins was the original creator of Gentoo Linux. He did a good job too but some users were not happy and kept pushing him to manage the project more in the “community”. From there, you get the Gentoo council and lots of processes. Now things get masked longer, more software in overlays of varying quality, devs leave because of personality conflicts, and the distro seems a bit stagnant.
I was glad to see Daniel developing again. I emailed him to get more details about Funtoo. Depending on what their goals are, I might switch over.
