## Status
Bearhub is an active community-maintained fork of `bauh`.
Current focus:
- keeping the application working on current Arch Linux
- maintaining compatibility with modern Python versions
- stabilizing the existing feature set before larger changes
## Why This Fork Exists
The original `bauh` project is the foundation of this codebase and all original authorship remains credited.
Bearhub exists to continue maintenance and compatibility work for users on current Linux systems, especially where the original project is no longer updated quickly enough for platform changes.
## Current Scope
Bearhub is currently focused on:
- compatibility and bug fixes
- packaging and runtime maintenance
- preserving the existing user experience where possible
Large architectural changes or feature redesigns are not the immediate priority.
