Gentoo?

Bull shit.

The kernel modification is cool but the optimizations are a meme, the compile times negate the supposed speed increase.
The handbook is a pile of shit if you want to encrypt everything; I had to cross reference two separate tutorials to make it work.
For anyone still interested, watch out for the outdated mirrors, I downloaded Stage3 from a server based in the UK, it was a year out of date and I had circular dependency errors up the ass.

install FreeBSD instead

Once you get the base system of your selected profile installed it's really great - that initial install takes a long ass time, yeah. But shit is insanely stable after that, been running Gentoo for years and I just don't ever have major problems.

I recommend it, OP

If I select to emerge a desktop system together with a DE during the install, will it configure xserver to start it automatically? Or do I still have to do that myself?

Yeah, X works without configuration as long as you're using KMS with your GPUs drivers

>using linux for negroids
kek

but user if you are using gentoo for the portage why you are not using funtoo

Portage is fantastic.

Good
Let those faggits use Arch

So is this guy talking about the sjws have taken over and destroyed Gentoo?
Reason why I'm quoting this post is I have been using Gentoo for a long time and really like it so I started doing some searches on becoming a developer and found this in the mailing list archives and started to be concerned that maybe the sjws got to Gentoo as well. so they got to swjBSD (formerly freeBSD) and now sjwgentoo?

>the compile times negate the supposed speed increase.
If that's a concern for you, just have the computer compile while you aren't using it. Even if you're literally Stephen Hawking and need the computer at all times just so you can interact with the world, you probably still sleep sometimes.

Which kernel? Linux?

Tell me which programs you use to get it working.
I tried stealing your configs but I ended up with invisible windows.

As far as I can tell, this dude is a former developer who got banned back in 2008 and this is his 5th attempt at being let back in. So whatever the rules he got banned for breaking may be, they already existed a decade ago.

yeah

to get what working?
what you see is in the scrot are bspwm, urxvt+tabbed, polybar and firefox
compton for the transparent borders

>grudgingly

>>So is this guy talking about the sjws have taken over and destroyed Gentoo?
No, he's talking about how gentoo development is an elite club that doesn't let in people who don't know shit about linux and development (like SJWs).

>tabbed
Maybe that's it. What would happen if you didn't have it?
As a side note, are you also running firefox as a different user?

>What would happen if you didn't have it?
I would this command to spawn my terminal
urxvt
instead of this one
tabbed -c urxvt -embed
>are you also running firefox as a different user?
yeah

Oh the only type of people I'v seen enforcing "code of conduct" was the sjw type of people, I havent yet seen it used outside of that context.

why would I use funtoo?

Yet he still uses it over his own os laughing my butt off

>I tried stealing your configs but I ended up with invisible windows.
how about you make some effort, rtfm and use those configs as a reference for your own configs instead of just copy pasting them and things like that won't happen

Shush you.

> but I heard portage is shit
Wrong. Portage is no doubt one of the best package managers.

It does an immense amount of things well, which -if you've been with various languages' build tools for a decade or two- you should understand aren't all that easy to get right even for one language.

Regardless this doesn't mean it's the package manager for everyone. And you can't stop Joe from bitching that it's not as simple as the Android store. It's not meant for that Joe, very simple.

true

installing funtoo was easy
is gentoo much harder? tell me the hype isn't all hype.

>is gentoo much harder?
No, the only difference is that you have to compile a kernel
