This seems to be old and possibly abandoned, given that: - The website is served using a self signed cert for a different domain created in 2011 (!) - The last download is from March 2013 for linux 3.x - The last commit to the git repo was in 2016 - The last post on the mailing list is an unanswered question from 2015 I would be interested to hear if anybody on HN knows of a similar project that is being maintained.

The project seems still alive and active, at least according to its recent RFC'ing from LKML [0]. For some more information, Phoronix also recently wrote an article [1] about it, also the GitHub repo [2] seems to be somewhat active (last commit was 06-02-2020).

  Ah, you're right, it does appear to be still alive. If anyone from the popcorn linux team sees this, please consider updating the outdated portions of your website (and getting an HTTPS certificate). Had I never read this comment I would have gone on unaware that the project was not dead.

    The homepage has a "News" section front and center with articles created as recently as March of this year.

The homepage (the submission URL as I write, but perhaps you saw something different?) leads with News: - March 2020 ... - [x3] - [big font] October 2019 ... I think it's kicking.
