  • LiGurOS - Underrated Gentoo Fork?
    3 projects | /r/Gentoo | 5 Jun 2023
    A while back, when I doing a Gentoo install, I tried using the offical libressl-overlay with KDE Plasma, and the kde-frameworks/kdelibs4support was outdated. I switched to LiGurOS, and the version in their merged liguros-repo seemed more up-to-date, instead of using a dummy dev-libs/openssl from the official overlay, they're using the libressl use flag + patches for gentoo upstream, as well as many of the tools from funtoo.

    There always was the libressl overlay (https://github.com/gentoo/libressl), I think it will not vanish and it will keep supporting libressl.

    Looks like there will be an overlay still for some transition period, but I'm not sure how useflag changes will affect it. https://github.com/gentoo/libressl/
