i've finally taken the gentoopill. has anyone else taken said pill????
no
>>fg-R8NRZIEG → werks on my machine
>>fg-17LVMM0B (OP) Good option for embedded system, decent for server, awful for desktop.
>>fg-YCU2YEOF initial setup is pretty bad but once you've got everything configured it's fine for desktop
>>fg-17LVMM0B (OP) autistic meme. just use alpine or void or something
>>fg-1RH790PF used void for a while, it was cool but annoying to deal with sometimes. I'm liking gentoo way better
>>fg-17LVMM0B (OP) I like to run up to date ssystem. Having to compile every update is cute at first, but grows tiresome.
>>fg-9BXVQONO i don't really care about bleeding edge i just update like once every month
I use it on my desktop, it is rather unstable but no other distro (exept LFS) compares for its customisability. I run parabola libre gnu/linux on a laptop and artix on an old p4 machine. Gentoo is rather decent
>>fg-17LVMM0B (OP) freakish pedophile meme, but based
Just like Gentoo overshadowed Sorceror, its time in the sun has come to an end, we now live in the Age of Nix. >Reproducible source based builds >Remote compilation so you can have a dedicated build box >Simple deployment for servers >Works on my machine Get Nix!
>>fg-16XYNTHY pedophile distro
>>fg-17LVMM0B (OP) >be me >decide to take the gentoo pill >attempt to install it with data at rest encryption >stuck on boot used a just werks distro after being filtered at least its comfy
>>fg-16XYNTHY
>>fg-17LVMM0B (OP) Waaaayyyy too much maintenance. I consider myself fairly autistic but even I had to admit defeat after ~6months on gentoo.
Start a counter from now until you think Gentoo used to be useable but has become shit for no good reason. Inb4 2007 Why does this website have javashit
>>B4N12BTQ Guix is cool, but I remember some of the maintainers were very vocally against Stallman's continued involvement in the FSF. I also enjoy more pragmatism in my distros than being a member of the GNU project can afford. Sometimes I just want to use something with proprietary drivers.
>>fg-16XYNTHY I like using nix packages alongside a more mainstream distro.
>>fg-X438922N You disgust me.
