Funtoo Linux Project Being Discontinued?
Quoting: Funtoo Linux Project Being Discontinued? —
Let’s start with some history. Funtoo Linux is a distribution derived from Gentoo, designed to emphasize performance, flexibility, and advanced configuration capabilities.
Daniel Robbins, the original founder of Gentoo Linux, created it in 2008 after stepping down from his position at Gentoo due to differing views with the Gentoo Foundation.
As expected, the distro maintains a close relationship with Gentoo, sharing many of the same principles and architectural designs. However, it diverges in key aspects, such as the bootstrapping and Portage system, profiles system, core tree updates mechanism, etc.

All Good Things Must Come to an End... [Ed: he worked at Microsoft, then things went downhill and he was no longer in Gentoo, which he had founded]
All good things must come to an end. I've decided to end the Funtoo Linux project. Funtoo started as a philosophy to create a fun community of contributors building something great together. For me, it's no longer that so I need to move on to other things. There is not a successor BDFL for Funtoo nor am I interested in trying to find one, or hand the project off to someone else. You can expect the project to wind down through August. If you have a Funtoo container, it will continue to be online through the end of August so you have time to find another hosting solution if you need one.

Funtoo Linux is Being Discontinued! Time to Look for Alternatives
Funtoo Linux, a community-driven meta-distribution based on Gentoo Linux, is being discontinued. Created by Daniel Robbins, the founder of Gentoo, Funtoo differentiated itself through a rolling-release model, Portage package manager, and a systemd-free design. However, with no successor planned, Funtoo is expected to be fully discontinued by August 2024, with online resources remaining accessible until then to aid users in transitioning to alternative solutions.
