Funtoo Community, One important quality of the Funtoo community, which is somewhat unique, is that officially, there are no 'developers'. In Funtoo, we are all users. Even as BDFL, I consider myself to be a user of Funtoo, first and foremost, who sometimes puts on a developer hat (OK -- I do this quite often 🙂) Why is this distinction important? In Funtoo, I do not want to have two different classes of people, 'users' and 'developers', with different jobs. I have found that communities formed around this model can manifest some cultural problems, creating walls for users that denies them a voice, and also encourages a developer culture that is disconnected from the user community. That is why it's so important. I have updated the introductions on the following pages to explain this in more detail: https://www.funtoo.org/Wolf_Pack_Philosophy https://www.funtoo.org/Support_Matrix By having this in two key documents, I'm hoping this concept will become more and more familiar. Remember, when you talk about Funtoo to your friends, be sure to explain that this "user-centric" philosophy is a key part of our culture. We are all users. Best Regards, Daniel Robbins also a user of Funtoo 🙂

I'm happy to announce that Funtoo now has a Support Matrix, which you can view here: https://www.funtoo.org/Support_Matrix The Support Matrix is intended to provide new and experienced users of Funtoo with insight into what we are officially supporting, what we are not supporting, and what we might like to support in the future. On the page, you'll also see probably the most clear explanations for why we use Debian kernels as our official kernels, and why we don't support SystemD. This is going to be a living resource for the Funtoo community so you should expect this page to be kept up-to-date to reflect the current realities of the Funtoo project. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂 Best, Daniel
