This is barely related, but I can do a presentation about one of the many distros out there. This is the first time I've ever heard of them and I'm doing this for the sake of doing it, learning and hopefully educating someone else in my class.

My first introduction to linux was when I gave ssh access to someone on irc on a fansub channel and he installed gentoo for me. Was around 2006 I think. He really shilled that shit hard and I got hooked on it, of course I borked the install after a few weeks and reinstalled it myself. I'm managing an overlay with almost 60 ebuilds now and can't live without portage.

I also feel the same as OP when I try other distros. How can you folks live with such limited package managers that fuck up every six months when you need upgrade?

It is, because by this time next month, you'll be installing an update to X or your graphics drivers, and it will break X, as every single X or driver update always does.
>>
>>56468970
My problem with gentoo is that you have to keep adding masks/accept_keywords/use the more you install or update, and you will eventually reach a point where it's impossible to further update or install anything or cleanly remove anything without dumping your entire .use, .accept_keywords, .mask and .unmask files, which in turn will cause ridiculous amounts of conflicts that can take weeks to solve.

Now, don't get me wrong, it's not like with arch where that shit would happen once a month - it takes many years (5 or so seems to be the average) to reach this point - but the problem is there.

Now I'm using manjaro instead. The loss of LICENSE and USE flags is annoying, but the AUR has more packages than portage + overlays (that is, actually working packages anyway - about 1/3 overlay package has been broken beyond repair for years which is another issue I have with gentoo).

Well, I'm using the same install as I did five years ago and didn't have to dump my package* files into the trash. Probably mostly because I use kde/plasma profile and all important flags are set by that. I also am on ~amd64 so I don't have to unmask newer packages. Switching to systemd was also just a eselect profile/plasma/systemd away.

I can guess that using a plain non de profile complicates things beyond measure. But kde has excellent support on gentoo and is a pleasure to use here. I was surprised that even pre-release packages intended for distributions maintainers are available on the kde overlay.

Case in point, I have to maintain my own overlay separate to my layman'ed one just to keep up to date with some packages. Especially gtk+ packages take months to half a year to be available. I still don't have libreoffice 5.2 for example and gnome updates take at least six months to land here.

Oh well I do use gentoo as my own distribution system in my non-it company so I can't really just drop it now. I used arch before that but it was a pain to keep every pc in the same state and "stable" distributions have software and drivers that are just too old.

>>56470043
That's fucking retarded. You should set global flags as usual and then overrides in the packages.use directory as usual. Local flags are to be used only in one of two cases:
1- to test that the setting actually works before comitting it to the packages.use
2- to circumvent a bug that is version - not software - specific.

I downloaded KDE Neon and installed it on a netbook, seems pretty slick, no problems. The software centre didn't have much in it at all, I assume they heavily restrict the repo so you don't get overwhelmed by choice, but it didn't even have the Arduino IDE, which I thought was odd.

Doesn't matter to me, I only want to use the laptop for Arduino stuff, a bit of programming, and for a reference to look up things when doing non-computer stuff, so the computer itself doesn't need much.

As long as it's otherwise stable after upgrades, I would recommend it. Install was painless, and it had helpful warnings about UEFI and sensible options. I use Slackware on my main computer and wanted to try something that handles everything by itself, see how well it works these days, so far it seems decent.

But he is right. take gles, egl and opengl or something and set it global. have fun with all the blockers because some packages can only have one or the other or some of your software gets experimental egl support and is as a result buggy as shit.
Profiles and local flags are there for a reason.

The question arose when I was tasked to manage servers at work, which ran Debian stable. I figured it makes sense to use it on the desktop too, to learn faster. After all I would need to roll my own source packages, know the peculiarities.

Absolutely no. Don't even consider using/showing that as your first distro. It's meant for people who know exactly what they want and what they're doing. Just do a general presentation of several distributions, going from simple to more complicated ones. If you really have to, leave gentoo and arch for last. Making a gentoo presentation is probably the best way to make the class fall asleep in disgust.

Debian was the most frustrating distro for me. I tried so hard to give it a fair chance, but their repository system is just so fucking bananas. Once I was trying to use apt pinning for more than just a few packages, I asked myself why the fuck am I doing this, and went back to arch.

I don't see any reason to play the time sink game with Debian because a bunch of nerds on /g/ call my distro of choice a time sink OS. If it werks for you, that's what matters at the end of the day.

Only issue I've had in recent memory is an issue with Broadcom but that's a pretty universal problem in Linux anyways.

sources.list is so fucking simple it hurts, yet everyone i know that tried Debian is always confused.
Then again i met people unable to configure arch mirrors so i guess some people cant be trusted with editing text files without people telling them literally what would happen if they put a "contrib" or "non-free" or replace "jessie" with "testing" or something. Also pinning is easy if you can tell which number is bigger than the other, so its not that hard tbqh.

I don't know, I just never found it easy to work with myself. I couldn't figure out how apt pinning worked, and I couldn't find documentation that gave me a good idea of what I was doing. I also was adding a mess of sources to get things in my system. I just was frustrated, and didn't really feel like fighting it anymore.

I think if Debian works for you - GREAT that's awesome I imagine it's a little more stable than arch, but I just didn't have the patience to fight with my desktop anymore when I knew arch just werked and I found it easy and intuitive to configure.

If I ever have a major bug, I'll probably just jump to Manjaro but I don't know what that would be.
>>
>>56472909
do you really need a gui to add
deb http://ftp.your.debian.repo/debian release main contrib non-free
to the end of the file?

its a mess on ubuntu, heave you tried reading it?
Also if you are scared of editing your main file you can use separate files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<your repo name>.list

Really editing repos in fedora is confusing compared to debian, not to mention using AUR. And both of these things are easy once you do it once properly.

>>56473213
well my guess is that you wanted the latest possible versions of software so you added repos or switched to testing/sid and got confused, which is totally normal if you never used apt or edited sources.list

But the configuration is really simple and easy to remember once you do it properly once.

Also i can agree that adding multiple unofficial sources or trying to combine stable/testing or something can lead to a state that you could describe as fighting apt, that's why they discourage mixing sources on every step in the first place.
Other than backports or some official repos from developers (like virtualbox repo for example) you should expect things to break if you mix two releases. Its like trying to make an Ubuntu 14.04/16.04 hybrid.

>>56473614
Yeah fair enough. I think Debian sid and testing are great for daily use, but I think my number one frustration was packages absent on testing present in sid. So then I went "okay I'll upgrade to sid" and one package was still lacking a candidate despite being listed, and the other had been removed an hour before. It got frustrating, so i just went arch. I think sources list is easy as hell to modify, but the core problem for me was just the way they split up their repos.

You would probably love using overlays with portage. Portage can install shit directly from git trunks with 9999 versions and you can check all "live" builds sources for updates and rebuild with any changes.

makes sense, at least you got valid reasons more than just arch hate like most /g/'s that used it a couple of days, these day most packages even has .deb as default.

>>56473708
I sure am glad i don't have to deal with compiling EVERY SINGLE PACKAGE on <insert any distro other than Gentoo here>. Sorry i just couldn't stop myself.
Still if you use just testing or just sid i imagine you get an arch like experience on Debian.

>>56473914
Well yeah that's what you get when you focus on making stable really really stable. I do understand that Debian is not a good choice if you want those really new packages, although i find that testing with security backports from unstable works well, but is just pain in the ass to install, and you have to deal with older packages than arch for example, especially stuff like nvidia drivers. Still i was impressed by how perfectly bumblebee worked for me on Debian , I couldn't ever get it to work as well (or at all) on Ubuntu, Fedora or Arch.

Why does Debian get this high-horse?

Debian:
1. Installs to a full desktop by default
2. Uses the same package manager as Ubuntu
3. Same GUI's available for apt in Ubuntu are available here.
4. Also uses systemd

So basically fucking identical barring PPA's and stability.

Anyone proud of their 1337ness because they use Debian should be kicked in the balls.

I don't like debian either, but that comparission is just stupid

ubuntu is based on debian, but even so, the filosophy in which is based is different.

also
>3. Same GUI's available for apt in Ubuntu are available here

That's the same for every linux distro

Your post made me think you're either trying to shitpost to start a pointless discussion, or you're an ubuntu user, preety new to thr oinux world, which was bullied by some debian user on some online conversation.

This is optional.
You can bootstrap Debian like Arch or Gentoo Stage 3.

You don't have to use any GUIs.

You can install OpenRC or sysvinit.
