The last update was over a year ago it seems. I remember everyone talking about the desktop environment like it was the next big thing. May she rest in peace.

If a project is hosted on sourceforge then its a pretty good sign that the developer hasn’t progressed their craft since about 2005, which is a pretty big red flag for anything

If your a chess fan, Scid vs PC is regularly updated and it’s hosted on sourceforge. However I don’t go there unless it’s for that or other related projects.

Not a linux project, but OpenCamera for android is probably the only exception I know of. It’s still getting updated and does best what it’s supposed to do.

Good thing is that sourceforge have anonymous commenting and tickets. Once I had an issue with open camera I didn’t need any account to create a ticket or comment

True, but the UI reflects that they still use source forge lol. Still the best open source camera.

Exactly, they could be hosting their releases on whichever site they use for remote git, but they don’t know how to use git

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
