Funtoo Linux is shutting down

I was always of the opinion that the real difference was community culture.

I used to be into Gentoo, but the community got pretty toxic around the time that Robbins left. My sense was Robbins was trying to start over with less negativity. Hence the "fun" part of "funtoo".

I've never had that when using Gentoo but I started in 2016 or so. The IRC was helpful in getting me started and I learned a lot in menuconfig.

I've revisited Gentoo since then and it's gotten much better. I think they eventually got back on their feet.

I believe ChromeOS was based on Gentoo initially. So by that time the community was nice enough for a big tech company to make a financial bet on it.
