Has anyone actually installed gentoo?

>>58852313
no, it's a meme like SSD's

I literally tried it once. I soon realized it's basically "Linux from Scratch" with minorly fewer steps. Good thing I knew about Debian linux before because I fear some people literally fall into the meme.

Arch is no much different, only slightly faster, doesn't compile.

Practically "too lazy to make a distro, the users make it, see how much freedum I spread?"

Might as well do LFS Linux if you are that bored.

Tried in a VM. Compiled leafpad for hours.

>>58852313
Yes. A few times actually. I liked it, but I would set up a build server the next time I did it.

>>58852313
If you life has no meaning and your time has no value, by all means sit for a week compiling Gentoo.

>>58852313
No. The whole Gentoo site is an elaborate joke.

I installed it through Ubuntu.
It's by far the best distro.

me, me, me
can I join /g/ now?

Nah, but apparently I am (or was) a crystal child so of course I could easily if I put the time into it, but that's time that could be spent on better things.

Yes. It's by far my favorite distro and I actively use it on my home server, desktop, and laptop.

i am finishing up an install right now. anyone who says it takes weeks or days to install is illiterate

>>58852313
Of course. It's literally one of the most widely used distros after Debian, *buntu, Fedora, and Suse.

>>58852313
Actual install went well. Getting the luks lvm boot working was almost easy. The post-install tweaking, on and off, took several days.

Portage is simply the best package manager around.

I only use it on my desktop as compiling takes some time but I do like how I can use libressl and avoid systemd at the same time has having a system with security patches that's managed for me.

>>58852313
Yes
>>58852758
Wrong

installing gentoo right this second

>>58852313
yes, on multiple machines

it's incredibly easy. The only difficulty is configuring the kernel, which can be a bit tricky if you don't know what options to select for your hardware

>arch doesn't compile.

I gave up trying to install it on a VM.

manu times, it' seasy dytoa o'

>>58857817
You could have used genkernel

>>58857841
i tried to
but it couldn't generate an initramfs that actually worked for my configuration so i made my own really shitty one

>>58852313
I did. I uninstalled it when it wanted me to update via tarball.

>>58852353
Gentoo is great to learn Linux but is way too old with security patches which is unfortunate.
But SSDs are a meme still +1 for that

>>58857804
Does it?

>>58852388
>I literally

>>58859572
So?

Gentoo is great for learning about Linux. Anyone can install Ubuntu, but you have to have a lot more understanding to install Gentoo.

Having said that, I would still favor Ubuntu for a server deploy.

nah dude you have to write a script full of autism to even install it then compile EVERYTHING
