Takes way too much time and effort to setup and maintain. I don't mind spending time on my computer, but this is a bit much.
>>107080892Setup, it depends. Maintaining Gentoo (stable) takes almost nothing tho.
>>107080874Install Windows 7
This doesn't offer any advantages Arch with cachy repos offers, also Nix is just better Be too why would you even use Gebtoo over Nix lol.
>>107080921just this
How is it anti-/g/ when /g/ has been telling you to install Gentoo for over a decade?
>>107080924portage. now fuck off faggot shill.
you forgot>ebuilds are older than debian's packagesonly hassle zero payoff
>>107081031Portage is just worse in every way lmfao.
>>107080874>debloats your software by defaultElaborate? You piqued my curiosity
>spend 8 hours compiling firefox on my thinkpadi'm not falling for it again
>>107081026fa/g/s love tinkertrannying, distrohopping and worshipping rgbtgentoo is an antithesis to all these
>>107081130I don't think you know what a true /g/entooman is.
>>107080874I dunno anon, I hopped to arch 12 years ago and I'm still sitting there.Dare I say all these instabilities are ubuntu inventions? I suspect they are.
>>107080918>StableThe competition to that is Debian, and I think Gentoo is going to lose to Debian when it comes to time and effort spent on anything from maintenance to setup.In fact, no, I don't think that. I know that. Debian is piss easy to maintain and use.
>>107080874portage is a certified distro factory.google used portage to make chromeos. they had clear goals, wanted a distro compiled for least memory usage, they used portage to achieve that.you can make a gentoo based distro where you provide all kinds of specialized packages from a mirror which serves packages and make your users automatically use that mirror.say you want to make a distro like clear linux but for amd, no problem.i know you can do those things in other distros but none is as pain-free and flexible like portage and you don't have implement anything yourself, pretty much all the tools are already made and well at that
>>107081130>tinkertrannying>gentooFits right in.
>>107080874based
>>107080874>No tranny>emerges rust-bin to build svg support for firefoxand you can't disable it
>>107083553Too bad I'm using ungoogled-chromium
>>107080874>>resources look straight from early 2000s (based)does it have a texinfo manual? if so, the resources could look straight from the 1980s. if not, that's pretty gay
>>107080874how do I go from an empty terminal to a cool looking desktop using gentoo
Oh boy, I love waiting hours for a package to update
>>107083553Blame Firefox devs for that.
>>107081116blaming it on:- llvm?- clang?- rust?- forgot to set MAKEOPTS?
>>107080874for devs that actually do work on their system, arch, gentoo, and debian are all perfect. the rare problems/breakages that may occur are almost always solvable within a few minutes of googling bc you're never the only person encountering it. distro really doesn't matter it just dictates what package manager you use. at the end of the day it's all linux and hopping around is a waste of time, just pick smth that works and stick with it
>>107083927i'm blaming it solely on /g/
>>107084029this but Ubuntu
>>107081082USE flags>>107081116>>107084084>not just using the binary insteadfiltered
>>107081145It's /G/entooma'am
>>107080874what happens if you don't updoot regularly for half a year?
I would unironically use it but my best system is a ThinkPad T400. Yes I fell for the /g/ memes.The ThinkPad is my only computer I threw everything else.
updates are fine, the long stuff is llvm or gcc. everything else is small to mediumi use the official binary from firefox on its own auto update.everything else is compiled with -Os
i would compile with O3 if i had more ram and faster cpu.-Os is not bad and thats how they compiled chromeos so it definitely has a use case on weaker hardware
>>107081057>filtered by use flagsembarassing
>>107081186Comparing Gentoo to Debian stable is just unfair, but you already know that. Gentoo is very stable and Portage is awesome, and packages (especially dev ones) are up to date.
>>107085101i was curious how you'd re-build everything with custom cflags on debian.spoiler: it needs to be custom scripted portage is so good it is literally being studied to create a package management standard from it
