Forking Paldo OS

Once upon a time I landed in the Linux World and a particular Distribution contributed for me not to turn back to Windows.

I'm referring to Paldo GNU/Linux (single Gnome DE) created and developed by Jürg Billeter and Raffaele Sandrini. 

it was made from scratch, designed to be "pure, lightweight and to compliant with Linux standards". Launch date was October 31, 2004. 

Today it's still actively maintained. So I downloaded latest img (no iso) dated 2026-08-11, burned a pen drive and tested it.

Quite different from the old days when it was a popular Distro. I guess it serves the purposes of their creators team. For advanced users, a few tweaks can make it usable to the masses.

Better yet, would be to fork it, for general usage. 

This is the home site: 

https://www.paldo.org/

My question: is some team out there interested in this venture? I would join as a translator :)

Thanks for your attention!
