I'm sorry if this is too negative, but I give it less than 12 months before it's abandoned.

Maintaining a linux distro gets very boring after a while.

It doesn't have to be boring if you challenge yourself just enough to make something neat. But I can pretty much guarantee it can get tedious and ungrateful. On top of that, you're not getting paid. I know I can't afford to live that life. Perhaps when I retire, idk.

I think as long as it's just an installer with an extra repo and the rest keeps pointing to the Void repos then that sounds manageable.

There's about 20 packages in their forgejo instance.

Doesn't mean I would pick it up but if you're maintaining that for yourself and your mates that's fine.
