I don't understand how to install gentoo :(
>>108444903Take a class on operating systems.
Sex havers can fuck off
>>108444903Me neither. I'm not that autistic.
>>108444921okay, I will>>108444932reee I am not sex haver >>108444936i hate being a normalfag!
>>108444903it's pretty easy my man, you just have to follow the steps in guide. I recommend using binaries at first so you don't have to wait a long time for the initial compile to see if you did it correctly
>>108444960didn't even make it this far
>>108444982uh oh
>>108444903everytime I hear about gentoo they talk about installation, but once you have it intalled, what are the advantages exactly?
>>108445116I just wanted it because gentoo doesn't have to use systemd.
>>108445116it's a configurable/customizable "stable" rolling release distro with the best (most flexible) package management system. stable rolling release means packages have to exist for a bit before being marked stable, and you only build stable packages by default. you can unmask "unstable" packages, tune entire feature sets like bluetooth or ppp out of your package builds entirely, or just use the pre-built x86-64v3 binaries if you don't want to compile everything from scratch. package recipes are very auditable, and it's easy to add a repo that supersedes the official gentoo repositories whether it's your own or a third party maintainer. very comfy, very reliable, very fast. i use it on my desktop and have a chroot on a spare HDD that i use to compile packages for my laptop
>>108445116to say you installed gentoo.
>>108444982What part did you get to? I'm sure me and your other pals on /g/ can help
>>108445593how would you add something not from official reps? I'm used to comfy checkinstall or stow
>>108445593>with the best (most flexible) package management systemportage is ass, its even more obtuse than apt.every thing you want to do requires a different command, most of which require additional packages.every command output is 1000 lines of prose with 1 line of useful information buried somewhere withinalso ebuilds are completely incomprehensible>muh useflagstry adding '-dbus' as a useflag and see what happensnice idea but they don't patch/strip out any unnecessary dependencies so in the end its just as bloated as arch/debian/fedora>>108445126>muh systemdequery l "*systemd*"you are still infected with systemd cancer nigger
equery l "*systemd*"
>>108446336does gentoo still use systemd?
>>108446257I got stuck at step 0 - finding the installation guide.
>>108446257thanks anon, i just did not understood the sda which is used by my usb and not the harddrive so I just partitioned the usb lul
>>108446276add it as an overlay.for example, adding the steam overlay into /etc/portage/repos.conf/steam-overlay.conf[steam-overlay]location = /var/db/repos/steam-overlaysync-type = gitsync-uri = https://github.com/anyc/steam-overlay.gitand then you can mask, unmask packages using the overlay name as a qualifier using standard portage strategies
>>108446336>portage is ass, its even more obtuse than apt.>every thing you want to do requires a different command, most of which require additional packages.>every command output is 1000 lines of prose with 1 line of useful information buried somewhere within>also ebuilds are completely incomprehensible>>muh useflags>try adding '-dbus' as a useflag and see what happens>nice idea but they don't patch/strip out any unnecessary dependencies so in the end its just as bloated as arch/debian/fedoraliterally everything you typed is wrong and you outed yourself as a supreme brainlet for not being able to understand ebuilds, apt, or emerge. retarded lil niglet
>>108446891>literally everything you typed is wrong!>of course i can't give any examples!base install of gentoo is missing most of the portage commands, for which you need to install gentoolkit, and even then you are missing basic functionality unless you install eix, and even then you don't have all the toolsnow you've done that, you set your use flags, but whoops! somehow dbus got installed anyway because firefox depends on it, for useless accessibility features. The PMs didn't patch it out though! Don't worry, you can just modify the ebuilds yourself... if you understand hieroglyphics...At some point LLVM got installed as well, your not sure what package depends on it, so you try to use equery to check, and get a 1m-line long depgraph, and each line with a node doesn't tell you its parent so the whole thing is basically unreadable.I guess you're right, I am not able to understand ebuilds or emerge. I found Linux from Scratch a lot easier to understand desu. To each their own. Enjoy your systemd-free gentoo install... with... systemd-libs?
>>1084471727s/your/you're/of course, the logical thing to do is to RTFM. But when you read the portage manual it doesn't mention which commands are available to control it. So you have to check the gentoo wiki, which mentions emerge and equery. So you check the manuals. They're pretty light on info, and they don't mention any of the other programs you might need, like eix. Of course, you could always check /usr/bin for programs beginning with E, except that it won't work for those programs which didn't come preinstalled, and it doesn't work for programs like that one (I forget the name) which you have to run to merge config files after an upgrade
>>108444903leave the tinker trannies behind anonit's that or killing urself at your earliest convenience

>>108445116Just properly inlined memcpy speeds up the system noticeably - which is kinda sad, but since software developers are some of the most retarded engineers in existence ...
How are people too stupid to read the handbook?You literally just have to paste lines from the handbook into the command line.
>>108450514That's the easy part, then you have to troubleshoot and maintain OS yourself. Nowadays even installing "hard distribs" is easy
>>108447304mac can't even run cs2
>>108451633>then you have to troubleshoot and maintain OS yourselfYeah, because that's oh-so-difficult.In five years of using Gentoo the only real fuckup I ever had was me disabling USB over PCI or whatever the fuck the feature's called in the kernel, and that was fixed in twenty minutes, with most of the time me wanking off as I waited for the kernel to finish compiling.
>>108447172literally all of your problems/complaints exist because of some hyperspecific use case in which you would expect to have to use advanced tooling to figure out anyway
>>108445116you can be the cool kid on the screenfetch thread
>>108444903there's macOS for people like you, don't give up
>>108451742>mac can't even run cs2it absolutely can
wifi doesn't work
>>108454390Good.
