should i switch to gentoo from arch linux?
No
>>106511608>wake up>see animaiden>day elevated
compiling everything exactly how you like it does seem like the next step
>>106511678why not?>>106511706yeah true. i wonder if my games would run on it, though
>>106511608sex
>>106511761pantyhose
>>106511777pretty much that, yes.
>>106511839Then I don't see why it would be worth it. Maybe for the meme it could be fun for awhile.
>>106511608no, gentoo sucks ass. You can compile shit on any distrophones should be forced to run gentoo so phoneposters batteries would be shorter and they fuck off
>>106511608Gentoo and Haifuri are the same.Haifuri had huge potential with a great premise. But then all the tension was diffused early, and the hamster thing was beyond stupid. I still look back at this video sometimes and wish the series turned out better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2WuDHoLF04Gentoo is no different. It sounds nice on paper and seems pretty cool initially, but in practice its a disappointment.
>>106511881>>106511894yeah true. i'll stick with arch then
>>106511926Glad you've made a decision.Maybe try compiling specific programs from source on your distro of choice to get a feel for it? If compiling makes you feel good, then you could reconsider Gentoo
>>106511608>>106511706>>106511761>>106511777>>106511839>�>106511881>�>106511926>�>106511969
>>106511608gentoo is worthless
>>106511923Been using it since 2008 and bit an ounce of disappointment. It's performed better and works for me more than any binary distribution.
>>106511690Bless.
>>106511761Games are run through proton which is close to completely distro agnostic.
>>106511690thisI must save these before the jannies come
>>106511706compiling that butt
>>106513538before the jannies what?
>>106512201
>>106511608stay on archarch is lightweight and good enough, especially if you're on lxqt or something similar to avoid extra bloat
no the only evolution beyond arch is a configurable os like nixos or guix
>>106511923>9 years agowtf am i doing with my life
>>106511777Gentoo supports more CPU architectures
>>106511608No.And use yay if you're not using yay.Yay is the whole point of using arch, a apt but good.
>>106514150for me it's paru
>>106514157It looks very cool too.
>>106511894
>>106514196no use case for anything but x86-64
>>106514196Why ANY arch would be discontinued on gentoo?Isn't the whole point you can just invent some new bullshit CPU, make a GCC and G++ to it and build gentoo?
>>106512201>>106513603can't neo nazis and maps get along?
>>106511608You should switch to nixos. Gentoo fucking sucks.
>>106514332i couldn't figure out how to do nixos without a build cache
little girl pantsu...
>>106514316/pol/ has a love-hate relationship with pedos.
>>106511761should run games fine>>106511777>>106511839no, absolutely not. Stop spreading misinformation. Yes you can compile on any distro, but portage USE flags make gentoo compilations much more superior since you can compile software optimized specifically to your hardware/software choices.Plus gentoo has a larger official repo than arch.>>106511894>you can compile shit on any distronot the same thing faggot, see above.>>106513619>arch is lightweightall these niggers in this thread that know absolutely nothing of what they're talking about.No, arch is absolutely not lightweight, it is quite literally the opposite of light weight, buy design. Again, by fucking design. The distro never even claims to be lightweight.Arch uses the most bloated linux kernel in production out there. Arch packages are compiled with the maximum amount of options and features possible, compare any one package on arch and literally any other distro and that package will be smaller and lighter on the other distro.>b-but the netinstallAlmost every distro out there offers a netinstall so shut the fuck up.
>>106514527>Arch uses the most bloated linux kernel in production out there. Arch packages are compiled with the maximum amount of options and features possible, compare any one package on arch and literally any other distro and that package will be smaller and lighter on the other distro.You spam this every thread but do you have any actual numbers and comparisons rather than just copy pasting your favourite reddit comment?
>>106511608I wish there was more haifuri stuff.
>>106511608moving from arch to gentoo only has downsides, u will constantly have something compiling in the background if you want to keep ur system up to date and it will just pointlessly eat up performace.if you really just want to try a different distro then pick something like void or nix which both are different to arch and have their own advantages (void replaces systemd with runit and nix has declarative packages and config)
>>106514527scraping a few megabytes isnt worth the pain it comes with, and when you change something like a USE flag u have to recompile everything which will waste an entire day if not multiple if you have many packages
if you have a decent computer then yes why not, if you don't then be ready to compile firefox for 5 hours
>>106514984Why would anyone waste cycles compiling Firefox?
>>106513601orgasm
>>106515141Sometimes you want to get rid of some shit standard FF comes with.Come to think of it, moziggers recently added a clause that allows them to collect user data anytime!
>>106511608>should i switch to gentoo from arch linux?I'm to low iq to have a strong opinion one way or the other. That's why in my own personal experience I can only recommend Linux Mint and PopOS.Just bee yourself OP.
>>106514236because of the maintenance required to get software to actually compile and run on certain architectures. it isn't as simple as swapping in another gcc/g++. also maintenance of the recipes themselves
>>106514877>moving from arch to gentoo only has downsides, u will constantly have something compiling in the background if you want to keep ur system up to date and it will just pointlessly eat up performace.simply not true unless you're poor and have old hardware
>>106514905why would you change your USE flags once you have them set up in a suitable fashion for the machine you're building for? and you wouldn't have to recompile anything anyway, only packages that use the flags that were changed
>>106511608shorts under skirts is annoyingly common. the whole fun of a skirt is the chance it'll show something.if arch isn't already consuming enough of your free time then you could try gentoo to really phone it in.
>>106515727most linux users do have shitty hardware, the selling point of linux in general is that it runs on old shitty hardware and even is you do have good hardware compiling is a massive waste of time anyway at that point just mine crypto in the background

>>106511608you should switch to Artix Linux from Arch Linux
>>106514196legitimately implessiveI really do hope those other architectures catch up

>>106514316they like maps product but not maps

>>106517084Name?
>>106517907Frank
>>106517915Doujin name, I mean.
>>106514236if nobody uses it or has the hardware to test it, why or even how do you develop for it?like sure, you could just add "ia64" to ebuild manifests and not test it at all, and in many cases things will build and run anyway, but that's probably not going to be a good experience for anyone trying to use that hardware, as they'll probably run into random build failures. well-written portable code should build on basically anything, but not all code is well-written, most devs only develop with the intention of running it on one (amd64), /maybe/ two (arm64) archs, so if they do something wrong but it works on their hardware, things can be missed
>>106512201anime website, dickless
>>106517192src?
>>106514236>>106519036also, do you know what ia64 is? it's Itanium. that architecture which came out in 2001 and was basically made obsolete in 2003, anyone was lucky to have a port for it in the first place.

>>106519245i'm so old i get called new for not being familiar with recent stuff, and it's funny every time
Install Gentoo
>>106514196I have to build Gentoo to breathe life into an old VAIO laptop with Pentium M. Huh.
>>106511608gentoo is about control. you can control much more on gentoo than you can on arch. if you've never felt restricted on arch, or if you've never felt like arch was bloated, or if you've never felt you needed to understand more about your computer, then stay on arch. otherwise you're very welcome to give it a try, gentoo is very cunny friendly
