I'm on wayland right now, it's pretty much there minus some polish.
Has anyone here installed Gentoo on their smartphones? If so, how did it go?
I have been looking into doing this and I a confused on exactly what Gentoo RAP is. My main concern is whether or not it will give me the same gainz that regular Gentoo does.
Gentoo is the only OS anyone should be using on their phone
>>55693330
replacing the OS in the phone? how would that work? you'd be left with an unusable phone, wouldn't you?
if you want to install gentoo in your (android) phone, just use "Linux Deploy"
Thoughts on this build /g/? Should I buy now or what? Will be getting an RX480 Nitro+ not that shit in pic.

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].
If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Hi friend <3
Thoughts on KDE Neon?
Trying to figure out why this was necessary when Kubuntu exists.
Beginner distro recommendation. Mint failed to instal last time I attempted shattering much of my faith in Linux.
My old standby mandriva is long dead.
I'm afraid I've been out of the Linux game for awhile and do not have A lot of time to relearn or deal with complications these days.
So what do? Was planning on building a system based around an fx 8350 and an rx 490...what's steam like these days? Has wine improved much? What sort of complications may I encounter?
How do you pronounce "EVGA"?
Do you pronounce the letters individually (/i vi gi ei/),
or do you pronounce it like a word "evga" ((/ɛv gɑ/)?
"Gud Goi"
>>55693213
E
V
G
A
>>55693213
Letters. It started off as 'eVGA' back when a lower case 'e' before everything was hip and cool in the tech world. That evolved into EVGA over the years.
I'v noticed at some stores the lines for check out are ridiculously long and time consuming (Walmart is notorious for this). Why don't bigger store have giant scanners, think metal detectors, that you just walk under and it picks up all the bar codes on your items. Then you just pay on a screen and walk out. Would reduce labor cost like crazy and get customers in and out of store quicker
RFID can do this.
Plain and simply it's too much money in today's "muh neverending profit" driven environment, where millions has been invested into barcodes already and spending millions more on RFID just doesn't make sense yet, even if it clearly does in the long run
Plus you're putting people out of jobs, and asking multibillion dollar companies to spend hundreds of thousands retraining workers and creating new jobs for new environments takes too much effoooooort
>>55693178
This is, in theory, possible. But even though RFID tags are only a dime or so, you have to incorporate them into all packaging, and that's a lot of expense compared to just printing a barcode.

Is ot easy to create your own custom rom? Theres no custom roms for my phone so i kinda want to make one.
Its an LG Volt 2
>is it easy to create your own ROM?
Well, you don't really create them from scratch often - you usually take a ROM, like AOSP or your phone's stock ROM, and edit the features you want. What do you want a custom ROM for, anyway? Are you unsatisfied with the power you get from rooting your device ?

If Poojet can do it, you can to it

I just changed from Lubuntu to Ubuntu 16 04 because I had problems running Scrapy. Holy shit, Ubuntu is garbage, how can it be popular among smart people?
I just want to walk away from this trash OS, what should I get that runs Scrapy? Should I got back to Lubuntu, try its 16 04? I want something highly customizable and unbroken
Gentoo
lubuntu is still ubuntu
use fedora or install gentoo

Is Python 3 still a meme? Are there any non-meme reasons to meme with it or are all of the reasons memes and are they good memes or bad memes?
It depends on what you mean by "meme"
>>55692795
Python 3 is python for developers. 2.x was mainly for non-programmers. 3 is the real deal.
Need 3 for Django
