You could always fork them. That’s one of the wonderful things about Linux and FOSS. Straight copy the code to a new project. That may be beyond your current skill set but it’s always an option.
I mean you only have three paths really. Distro-hop until you find something else. Start with a pre-built like mint or fedora and make it what you want or build from scratch.
I distro hopped for a long time, then ended up going through the basic arch install one weekend and omg it’s easy now with their archinstall script, I’ve gotten lazy and just use Fedora.
Tldr: I suggest investing the time to do the arch install on your side machine just as a learning experience, particularly by hand and without the script. It will be invaluable to you not just as a Linux user but as a computer user. Even if you end up on another OS you’ll be more capable and comfortable with the terminal. I really can’t emphasize how useful that will be and what doors it may unlock for you.
Small example is all the poorly written yet functional bash scripts I write for myself. How I used wget -r to scrape my university’s website and made a database of old solutions to homework and exams for myself.
