Choose this fork only if you want the old codebase on purpose. For most adopters, the active upstream is the better choice because this fork is stale, far behind, and unlikely to be cheaper than starting from upstream.

Prefer this fork only if you want a mostly self-contained, older Spacedrive derivative to build on. If you want current features, fixes, and platform support, upstream is the better choice.

Prefer upstream over this fork unless you need this exact fork identity; it adds no clear capabilities and trails upstream fixes.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need one of the older UI/workflow experiments; this fork is too stale to adopt as a general-purpose base.

Adopt this fork only if you specifically need its older, diverged behavior or code history. For most users, upstream is the better choice because this fork is stale and materially behind current Spacedrive development.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this fork's older job and UI changes. It is materially outdated and diverged enough that adopting it as a foundation would create significant merge and maintenance cost.

Adopt this only if you specifically want the fork's older feature set and are willing to maintain a large downstream delta. For most users, upstream is the better starting point because this fork is stale and materially behind.

Choose this fork only if its 2023-era workflow tweaks are the exact behavior you need and you are willing to own a large maintenance burden. For most adopters, upstream is the better base.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need this exact older snapshot. This fork adds no visible capabilities and is materially behind on fixes, so it is not a good adoption target for users who want the latest Spacedrive behavior.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically want this fork as a private holding area; it currently offers no observable functional advantage and is behind on recent upstream work.
