AerynOS maintainer confirms that founder Ikey Doherty hasn’t been in contact for six months but assures the project remains stable and on track.
During my brief exchange yesterday with the AerynOS team about the coverage of their updated 2025.10 ISO release, they mentioned something about the project’s founder, Ikey Doherty, that I wasn’t entirely sure how to take at first — specifically the part that stated, “he stepped back six months ago.”
AerynOS seems to be ok though. Tune Morling (erno) seems to be very active in their repos and he is the current project lead.
I mean, we will see. I guess it is still in Alpha.
