Fedora… it took way to long to figure out how to remove all the software I didn’t need / want and still have a functional system. I will not subject myself to that pain again 🙂

Just a suggestion but take a look at this list… all of them should be either open source or at least free (trials, lite versions, etc.).
Find out what you use at work and see if there’s a trial version or if they use open source.
If not most of these tools are known and you may be able to find help online (forums, Lemmy, Reddit, etc.).
Sometimes the best teacher is experience :)
I have two… these are from the old days of computing :)
One: guy said his monitor was showing wavy lines on the screen (old CRT monitor days). Went to his office, looked at his monitor. Sure enough wavy lines. Looked the top of his monitor. Removed the clock sitting on top of said monitor, no more wavy lines. Don’t put electric clocks on CRT monitors folks.
Two: working in a school system. Just before classes started. Get a call “none of the computers turn on”. Go to the classroom. Check a few machines. Machines “turned on” but didn’t boot the OS. Listen to one of the machines… hmmm, no drive noise. Tap it with the back of a screwdriver. Drive spins up, computer boots. Later found out that it was a semi-known problem with Seagate drives. If they sat to long without use, the heads would get stuck.
For 0 you may want to check out Revolt. Similar to Discord… not as polished / stable though.
If you run Discord groups the switch may be easy. If others run the groups… the “I told you so…” comment would still apply 🙂

Seems folks are thinking about it but… getting traction for these types of projects will be the real challenge. I’m not affiliated with either. I was just curious and did a quick search.
Would definitely use something like this if it comes to fruition.
Thanks for posting this! Didn’t know the original was not maintained anymore.
I’m sure most are aware of this but, just incase anyone passing through is not… Haiku OS
Works great in a VM… fun to play with, have not tried bare metal / daily driving it though.
