Why are you not running the best Linux distribution?

>>58861574
For the same reason I don't run Windows ME.

xfce's wm is a clusterfuck of screen tearing, yet compton is laggy as fuck.
if i'm going to be doing that much tinkering to get shit to work pleasantly i might as well just install arch

Because it's shit made for retards.

>>58861603

Why are ALL goddamn Linux WMs fucking garbage.

That's one thing that seems to have not fucking improved since I tried Debian back in 2005, the goddamn user interface experience.

I know Apple and Microsoft pay their UX designers well, but you'd seriously think that with so many fucking years someone would have made even a half decent goddamn desktop environment for Linux.

I'm using xfce now but holy fuck is the state of Linux UX is fucking bad

Every single update i lose the ability to boot into my computer. I don't have the time to chmod into my install every 3 days.

One of these days there will be a Linux distribution that honestly just doesn't look like a Linux distribution which looks like a Linux distribution even when it's running a desktop environment designed to not look like a Linux distribution.

At that point I'll consider Linux, until such time will you fucking idiots just stop.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>58861697
If your biggest selling point for an OS is the UI, Linux isn't for you. Go buy an iPad.

That said, I don't find the Windows UI until Win10 all that compelling. And Win10 itself is a terrible OS, so I'm good.

Apple has a very nice UI. It's gonna cost you though.

Don't like a UI? Get Gnome and mod the shit out of it to your liking.

>>58869343
I have honestly wondered why anyone uses Gentoo. What's the point? Just for difficulty sake?

Just go through the PITA and install arch. At least you get the AUR out of it.

>>58869426
Security

>>58869481
In what way does Gentoo provide better security than, say, a RHEL-based distro? More organizations are bug hunting in Red Hat than Gentoo (I'd assume)

Also, if your talking like basic security for web browsing and petty things, why not use Tails?

>>58869564
You compile everything, so all your memory address and stuff are unique.

>>58869564
btw, nice english, Pyotr.

>>58869595
How does this provide a substantial security benefit over any RHEL-based system?

>>58869644
REHL advises compiling from source. Every DOD or contractor has to compile their own kernel from source on every single computer.

>>58869426

The initial setup takes a long time but the management is easy. Install steps not very different from Arch, just need to wait on compile time. Most other distributions are the opposite with a quick install and then management is hell.

I don't mind spending a day installing all the packages for my personal desktop environment since I know I will be using the computer for a long time and will know specifically how everything is installed and configured. You simply don't get that with a 3 click install 2,000 package baseline distro.

I distro hopped for years before Gentoo because of various usability reasons. I haven't had a reason to switch to anything else since using it.

My favorite features would be how simple multilib is and how great the ability to select bleeding edge versions of specific packages for install without doing the whole system is.

>>58866572
Do you have a link for that wallpaper?

>>58871905
I literally installed 17 last night because my rx480 needs kernel 4.7 or something. 17 and sabayon both ship with 4.9 i believe. 16 still ships with 4.4, although you can upgrade to 4.10.x after installing.
