Essentially an AI-generated github repo with a non-existent domain/landing page and some questionable links hosted. Singular contributor, wishing them well on their plans ;
So recently gNewSense was discontinued in 2021. Now, in 2026, I noticed it’s Debian-based, so I’m planning to move the project to an Arch-based foundation. There’s a way: I can download a ZIP from arcoNetPro on GitHub and import it into my organization’s GitHub repo. I’ll clean up the arco text and prepare the repository — I haven’t done it yet, but I will soon.
I’ll recruit new maintainers and organize them into a small or larger team depending on need. I want this to be inclusive: I made several flavors for . Here they are.
