Have fun maintaining it, then.
Here's a kitteh for you.
Ian Bennett
now install it in a vm
Liam Ramirez
why?
Jayden Cruz
literally whats the point of gentoo? isnt it just ricey rice
Nicholas Hughes
Literally everyone here says "install gentoo" so I thought heck why not, sounds like a fun challenge, it's not like I'm going to get much use out of the machine I installed on, see specs
Josiah Bennett
how much swap did you allocate?
Julian Bailey
2GB
Christopher Lopez
it's great if you hack on the software you use because of overlays and patches, or if some particular use case of yours isn't covered well by traditional distros
if you really care, ask some actual non-meme non-imageboard-dwelling gentoo users for their reasons
Wyatt Bell
you have xorg and some window manager yet?
Kayden Cox
Good job, duge
Jason Stewart
Good job. Did you used -O2?
Easton Jones
Installing gentoo as well at this very moment. Starting for the third time for now. The first time I blindly followed the handbook and assumed I had BIOS instead of UEFI. The second time I caught some obscure bug with openssl 1.1.0+ that breaks some python packages.
Now installing with
>=dev-libs/openssl-1.1.0
in my .mask.
Robert Hernandez
You're a few versions behind on 4.14 what the fuck are you doing
Benjamin Rodriguez
that's the newest stable kernel
Jack Myers
Nice, did the same thing a few days ago.
Jose Ramirez
>literally whats the point of gentoo?
basically, it's to provide you with all the advantages of compiling packages from source while being as easy and convenient to use as any other distro
Dylan Cruz
No, 4.14.95 is
Kevin Cruz
CloverOS fag?
Owen Thomas
no, 4.14.83 is
Liam Anderson
I have a spare hard drive I can use. Should I install Gentoo on my T60?
Alexander James
How the fuck can you can a pc without a gui? How am I even supposed to install a gui? I must be retarded
And don’t tell me I don’t need one. There are so many fucking things I do on my pc that absolutely 100% require a gui
Nathan Perez
Not yet, only got one internet cable here and had other things to do, I need to get a switch. What wm do you recommend? I was thinking iceWM.
Can't remember
I had some breakage with perl when trying to install wpa_supplicant, I just gave up on it and plugged a cable in, I'll fix the wifi later.
packages.gentoo.org
Sure why not, if you're into linux, trying new things and learning.
Landon King
>How am I even supposed to install a gui? I must be retarded
Basically yeah, on arch for example it's just sudo pacman -S [desktop environment name]
Luke Martinez
No, look on kernel.org. the reason Gentoo 4.14.83 is marked in Gentoo is because queen ferrazi has been too busy sitting on my face.
Julian Collins
Now rice it
Benjamin Moore
One of us.
Trips confirm.
Bonus points if you customize your kernel and USE flags until your startup time is less than 2 seconds
Gavin Diaz
usually i just follow the guide to install what ever desktop enviroment i want, also using the command line for some tasks is so much easier
Eli Stewart
tfw ancient hardware
>pentium m
>mechanical harddrive
Michael Stewart
That is the fucking point of customizing the kernel. You probably do not need 75% of what is in it if you got an old system.
Xavier Murphy
>install an OS
>challenge
oh wow
Caleb Perez
probably
Wasn't that much of a challenge after all, it's just following the handbook and you're done. Everyone just acts like it's an impossible task. Kinda like people saying that installing Arch is hard. Just follow the installation guide on the wiki and you're done.
Cameron Nelson
I installed Gentoo, then realized that I valued my time a half hour into my xorg compile. Installed Slackware.
Angel Baker
And then what do I do when it doesn’t work?
Carson Hughes
you off yourself because it's impossible to mess up installing a package
Nathaniel Sanders
Shit like this really turns me off from linux
Owen Butler
I've been trying on and off for a while to install Gentoo but I can't even get it to boot. When I try to boot it, it comes up with VERIFICATION CODE FAILED (0x1A). I've tried googling it, but nothing relevant seems to appear. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
