So im having a very rought week: army wants me for its service, my university remembered graduation soon and that i havent finished my paper, my sister is ill and theres just a shitload of thing to do at work.
So i installed gentoo. Took me about 12 hours because i probably incuded too much shit, ok. I agree there is some sence of accomplshment once you run that first reboot after installation and it works, especially on the first try. But why the fuck would anyone seriously use this? I just dont get the idea. WHY? WHY? Everything take so much unnecessary steps and all for what? Illusion that you understand how your system works? Because vim suddenly takes 0,00005 seconds less to start? You got me, Jow Forums, this is a hilarious joke. To think of it, the setup was perfect. You set up a whole fucking wiki carefully explaining how to install this distro, theres shitton of manuals on every command, every packet and pretty much anything yet theres no info on why would you want this fucking system. 80% of the steps i took could be easily set on autodetect to speed process up. And commpilling @world is one of the worst thing i have ever seen. Imagine updating world on a server. Or leaving your pc for a whole night of updates.
And the punchline for this hilarious joke was: >sudo: command not found Fuck off Jow Forums, shove your fucking gentoo up your ass and recompile it there, im going back to debian.

I see.

Could you point me to where in the installer it asks if you want to install sudo? I've never seen that, and it's not included in Standard System Utilitiea either.

>the installer Um, what. The installer is you, user. You install it. Or don't... Up to you. What other 'installer' might you be referring to?
Hunter Sullivan
The handbook says nothing about it. Sure you can install it later, but i dont see why that package isnt there from the begining. Same goes fot stage 3 giles.

Hunter Wright
Maybe you don't want or need a regular user, maybe you'd rather use doas instead of sudo, it's like asking why Lego sets don't already come partially constructed.
Juan Evans
Sorry, I was talking about Debian
William Flores
OP, being a massive faggot, doesn't even need to pretend
Gavin Hughes
Great thread, op. Go back to blogger.

You dont have to build a factory and melt your own bricks to play lego.
Jack Gray
Can't handle the post longer that twitter limit?
Logan Miller
Can't handle installing Gentoo?
Daniel Davis
Can you?
Gabriel Gutierrez
Don't fuck up my analogy, the Legos are Gentoo. If you don't wanna 'play Lego', install Ubunut. Or if you just wanna pretend at playing Lego, install Arch...
Just come back to using Windows. GNU/Linux has always been a meme and people on here use it just to put terminals everywhere and take screenshots to show off their 1337 5up3r h4xx0r cred.
GNU/Linux is only good as a server OS today because it evolved out of a time-sharing OS for mainframes which is a similar principle. If you use it on a personal computer, you're doing it wrong.
Angel Stewart
reinstall gentoo?
Joshua Fisher
If you want sudo just install it. It takes maybe 15 seconds to install. I personally never use it so I never found the need.
Have you looked at the desktop threads since forever? Most of the setups posted there are borderline unusable or show terminals doing absolutely nothing useful, just so there'd be a terminal showing off a block of text in a cool font on the screenshot.
