Bearhub exists to continue maintenance and compatibility work for Arch users, especially where the original project is no longer updated quickly enough for platform changes.
## Current Scope
Bearhub is currently focused on:
- Arch Linux and AUR as the primary platform and package source
- Flatpak support where it remains useful for Arch users
- compatibility and bug fixes
- packaging and runtime maintenance
- preserving the existing user experience where possible
