Selected

Prefer this fork only if you want its rewritten presentation and fork-specific docs. Prefer upstream if you want the freshest and broadest curated content, because this fork is far behind and appears to be mostly documentation-level divergence.

Prefer the fork only if you value its added SSL/TLS and wordlist-oriented references and do not need current upstream curation. For most adopters, upstream is the safer default because this fork is materially stale.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically want a frozen snapshot; this fork adds no visible capabilities and is materially behind on content and maintenance.

Prefer upstream unless you explicitly need an old snapshot. This fork adds no visible capabilities and is materially behind, so it is mainly useful as an archive, not as an adoption target.

Choose the fork only if you want a frozen, rebranded starting point with some repo scaffolding. If you want current or broadly complete admin/security reference material, upstream is the better choice.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need a 2019-era snapshot; this fork adds no visible functionality and is materially behind on content and maintenance.
