Define requirement for inclusion

[FabioLolix]

Hi, following #2137 (comment)

What about to set a hard requirement: any new distros that want to add their logo into fastfetch, must have downloadable ISOs and must have a complete webside ( can be simple though )

I suggest that distros:

• have reached stable state (out of beta, alpha, RC) [NB this is not against rolling distro]
• are still active after 2 years after first reaching stable status
• have a public development for open source distros
• are not private

This to prevent abuse and flexing of being in fastfetch

---

I suggest to remove previously added:

• Furreto Linux Added "Furreto Linux" support #927 still in private beta after more then 2 years, no public develpment, promised to release soon, the discord where it was hosted no longer exist ?

• EmperorOS [LOGO] EmperorOS #1963 already discontinued, website deleted https://emperoros.github.io/, if download and public development existed they have been deleted, author of Starry Linux which lived for 4 months only, now at the third distro with NurOS-Linux

• Magix Add Magix (Correctly this time) #1228 don't publish an iso image, completely depends on Gento stage3 and users need to build it https://github.com/Magix-OS/stage-gen

My opinion on some pending

• Metal OS Add METALOS Logo #2208 [LOGO] METALOS #2209 A collection of 10 makefiles (https://codeberg.org/DAFT-8/METALOS) between programs and linux-firmware, don't publish an iso; useers need to build it, don't have a compiler or online repositories

• kyonlinux [LOGO] add kyonlinux logo (my own distro) #2459 no download, no public development

• miOS Add support for miOS distribution. #2408 a remix created with cubic; in practice no public development; depends on a single person to put out their backup of an installation

• CookieOS [LOGO] CookieOS #2373 there is a download but no public development; their github is empty https://github.com/GAJA-Team/CookieOS , generically says to be open source but there is no proof of it

Example of a distro with a public development

• https://distroware.gitlab.io/os/Linux/a/arch-linux/#development
• https://distroware.gitlab.io/os/Linux/a/arch-linux/#build

Everybody can see the whole development of the programs, of the packages and easily build the iso locally

• are still active after 2 years after first reaching stable status

I agree. However we have so many distros that I don't think people (including me) have time and energy to check if they are alive. For many distros ported from neofetch I can't even find their website, nor I don't know if they have any users.

Most distros introduced for fun never have users other than the developers themselves, and will die in one year. However their developers never sends a request to remove them from fastfetch repo. So I'm always hesitating to add new distro support.

If you have interest in verifying the status of these distros, I can add a rule that an logo request PR must be approved by you. I'm highly appreciated.

I have updated the logo request issue template to ask for development repo. bc8ce39
