Arch users will never compare against the gods that use Gentoo...

But even the Gentoo gods will never compare against the madness of the Lovecraftian Ancient Ones that use LFS.

Don't you have some compiling to wait for?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Waiting for compilation is the most satisfying thing in universe. It’s almost orgasmic.

I use Arch btw.

As a former long-time Gentoo user, I use Arch 😉

Gentoo is just arch with extra steps

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

As a person who has daily used Gentoo before, I've never been so offended by something I totally agree with

I used to use void, was a great distro, using Fedora now though

What's the appeal of purposely using a user unfriendly system? I'm a Linux beginner and I use easy to use distros. Just curious as to why torture yourself?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I wouldn’t say they are user unfriendly, just not fit for beginners. There are definite advantages to those distros for advanced users, as they offer way more customisation than beginner friendly distros.

its only joking

Often its to learn about how a linux system works under the hood, also Gentoo can theoreticly have a small performance boost (tho on modern hardware its extremly small).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i have a big problem with that, because i don't get how life is better for not using any diy distro ?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bruh, I have things like work life and family, again arch is arch and I have a life

If I could install the damn thing, I WOULD run Gentoo. Furthest I got was install the base system. I was never able to install a DE. 😂

Gentoo ricer reporting in.

Ran a stage 1 Gentoo build whilst at uni back in the early 00's. Man building that on my Athlon took an absolute age - and there was no easy way for me to read docs whilst I was putting it together.

Still, ran Gnome DE and did my dissertation on it.

My greatest achievement in life was running on stable gentoo installation for a month. Then I messed up something and never found the courage to get back to it. I have just flown too close to the sun…
