Funtoo

it's FUN-TO-dO

Vanilla Gentoo is best Gentoo

Precompiled kernel

Funtoo has its own portage tree. It's synced with Gentoo daily, so it's never really behind it. But the difference is that Funtoo uses git instead of rsync for portage. That's a big advantage for Funtoo.

Aside from not being able to do one of the easier steps of the Gentoo installation process?

Back in the day the creator of Gentoo had a falling out with the Gentoo board, so he basically forked Funtoo to make Gentoo fun again. The rest of us washed our hands of source based distros, grew up, and started using binary distros that had finally matured enough to compete with Gentoo's package manager.

I use gentoo.

You must be drowning in pussy

Funtoo uses the gentoo repos, the debian kernel, and someone else's boot cd to install from. What in funtoo is actually funtoo?

>>55352401
Not really that big of a deal. Especially since Gentoo moved to Git repository.

Name one package manager that can compete with Portage

Funtoo uses pre-compiled packages and some other overhead you dont really need.
Gentoo can easily create binary packages (quickpkg, emerge --buildpkg) that can later be shared between hosts.
it even allows to cross-compile different architectures, so you can also build packages for your slow raspberry or whatever.
Funtoo should not be a thing in my opinion...

Nice try Archfag.

>>55351398
If you can't find the main difference, why would people use Gentoo over Funtoo?

>Oh I never used Arch btw

>>55352401
Gentoo officially moved to git a few months ago ya know?

There isn't really any advantage, lack of official systemd support.

You can add the funtoo portage tree as an overlay and just mask everything except for the packages you want to use if you actually want to use one of their alternate binary kernels, there really isn't any reason to though.
