Death Of A Legendary Gentoo Linux Based Distro

Показать описание
Funtoo Linux has been around since the early 2000's but what makes it even more exciting is who made it, it's a Gentoo Linux distro made by the creator of Gentoo himself after leaving the project.

thats so funny that he was accidentally still the president, that's like storming out of a class without realizing you're the professor

You mean to tell me there's been a distro based around a philosophy of "on all levels except physical I am a wolf" since forever *and I'm only finding out about it now when it's over!?*
Absolutely in shambles right now, gonna go howl at something solemnly

Can't help noticing that that "wolf pack philosophy" stuff didn't include "a wolf gives up and takes his wolf ball home".

"on all levels except physical i am a wolf"

Think it's very silly to kill the project unilaterally when the whole point of the distro is about the pack

If there's a fork to continue Funtoo Linux they should call it Funthree.

Guys, I think who wrote that philosophy kinda likes wolves.

The wolf stuff is goofy af but hey, respect that they had a clear idea of what they were doing and how and why they were doing it. Even respect for when the guy thought that it had lost that for winding it down. I mean it's linux if the community wants to continue it they can just fork it no? If there's not the will to then that sucks for anyone still into the project.

I remember installing Gentoo stage2 back in 2002-ish. It was a whole-weekend project.
I had to print out the installation instructions because in 2002 smartphones were not a thing.
It was an interesting experience, but at the end of the process, I just didn't have anything to *do* in that resulting Linux installation. Almost all the software i wanted to use was windows-only and Wine was not really as good as it is now, specially not for games.

Gentoo from a developer perspective is weird. There seems to be a clique that will force everyone out for any reason. If you read the various guidelines, you can become a developer and vote people out... but much like world politics, nobody actually votes. It's quite a shame really, because some of the people involved don't really seem to care about the future of the project, only to maintain the clique.

First the Xbox 360, now Funtoo Linux. Fun has really been banned.

Yes, I knew about enoch. I used slackware at that time. I started to use gentoo with 1.0.

When I was new to Linux and stumbled on to Funtoo I took the wolf pack philosophy a bit too seriously and thought it was a cult. I'll miss it either way.

I used it in the early days, but this was very predictable, it's been teetering for ages. Notable for dog fooding their own distro unlike say, many Gnome devs, was a good plan but there's no need at this point.

I do remember the drama, it was pretty much as described and I'll second that the Gentoo org was a total mess full of inconsistent management and favouritism.

edit – fixed some hilariously terrible autocorrect I was too sleepy to notice yesterday

I was always confused by Funtoo. Without knowing its purpose nor history, but noticing it every time I was reading something about Gentoo…

Also, when I was much younger, among the various CDs my father had I found some Gentoo ones. I'm not entirely sure about this, but some might have been labeled "Funtoo".

My spouse was a Gentoo user for years, but I've never emerge worlded. First OS was Unix on a PDP. As a Linux user, I've settled into Ubuntu land. I've played with other distros, but just for exploration. I don't really want to fiddle, I just want a reliable OS that comes out of the box nice. My desktop is pretty much the same as ever (fluxbox, openbox and now Xfce) with a conky system monitor script I wrote 13 years ago. I get my work done, write some music, write some code, play some games and watch YouTube.

Funtoo was actually fun, and the introdution to me understanding more about Linux as a whole

Sad to see it go
