After 3 installs with hundreds of hours of compiling, I am quite sure that "Install Gentoo" is, in fact, a meme. I do not believe anybody has a good use case for this particular GNU distribution.

It's the disabling and enabling USE flags which is nice but that's as tedious as compiling.

They maintainers should work on: musl, libressl, and clang more.

try funtoo. The install takes me 15 minutes and its pretty much the same as gentoo.

>3 installs

I'll install operating system (x) because Jow Forums told me to

Spreg out because of the time it takes and not
understanding the use cases of (x)

Get back on Windows faggot

Are you retarded?
I can install gentoo spend 1 hour full system setup.

Next stage - Linux From Scratch. It much better than Gentoo.

On machines where each percent of performance matters (some math number-crunching) it can make sense.

This is actually really good for learning, which is what gentoo is falsely shilled for. What is better LFS is not recommended beyond the building and having it up and running stage.

euthanize yourself tard.

Those already work on Gentoo you fucking retard.

I always wondered why user frequently used short insult phrases. Now I see why, it partly hides stupidity. Your mama must be so proud of you.

Not Gentoo's fault that you're retarded.

Reinstall Windows and give up.

found your problem

this. tired of this LARPing redditors who don't know programming pretending their opinion matters.

>gentoo
Use fedora, debian or mint.

this guy is too stupid for those.

he should go back to windows or osx where they spoon feed you.

The simplest difference between gentoo and binary distros is NOT that you compile your own. That is just a side effect. What is far more important is that you have the CODE, or rather more importantly, the HEADERS! If you EVER tried to compile a package yourselve on a binary distro you will have found that you first have to download a ton of headers, wich are often out of date, or you are using some weird binary. Simply put, if I want to compile a package on gentoo on my own I can do so by JUST compiling the package, I do not first have to download the package with the linux headers for my kernel, because the headers, and everything is already there

What does Gentoo do that other distros don't already? What exactly makes Gentoo worth all the extra time and effort to install, in terms of actual use-case benefits? I don't get it anons, seems like a huge amount of input for not much functional benefit

What the fuck does installing an operating system
have to do with programming

Attached: retard.jpg (261x323, 22K)

because I use my PC to program while you just use it to order Dominoes pizza. use case, it matters.

well the only time we get to chat irl, is when
you show up with the food

USE flags. Overlays. Package unmasking.

You do realize ChromeOS is gentoo-based and compiled by Google?

>debian
No, Mint is basically a better Debian.

look at what the guy who posted before you said.

Thanks for a proper answer user

>hundreds of hours of compiling
Irrelevant when you can still use your computer meanwhile.

np

did xer imply otherwise?

No I don't think any of that is need for installing an OS.
Otherwise computers would still be the privilege of Universities.

If you spent 3yrs studying CS just to install Gentoo, maybe
it's you that should be thinking about signing out

>literally experimental features that break shit
I fucking know they're alpha quality, woman.

It's fun in a way. I like how you can customise so much.
>profile
>cflags
>useflags
>kernel config

Along with all the standard shit you get to pick with arch, void and the like. It's pretty cool.

Werks for me
