Hi /g/uys! I just installed gentoo without problems on my pc (it's an old hp with a i7 720QM and 2gb RAM)..then after installation I decided to install x11, but during the compilation of the package x11-base/xorg-drivers my pc shut down (3 attempts)..I think could be the temperature but it's strange since during installation it has taken different hours to compile..any suggestions?? Thanks.
use a vacuum cleaner to clear out the dust in the fans
Stop installing meme OSs.
GNU/Linux distributions that just werk:
>Debian
>Ubuntu
>Fedora
>OpenSUSE
Anything else is literally a meme and hobbyist OS.

>any suggestions
Use a different distro

>average normie user stumbles upon /g/
>falls for the gentoo meme
>wonders why his PC got rekt
Many such cases!
You, sir, came to a wrong place. People here spam "install gentoo" all the time, but most of them haven't even tried, and from that small percentage that did try it, majority failed miserably.

OP here..I have a pc with Debian but I always wanted to try gentoo and I think I could learn much using it..so, if you don't have any idea that could help me to use gentoo just shut fuck the fuck up.

Try freenode #gentoo. They help newbs lots.

How can someanon fail to install gentoo when there is a gentoo handbook that even a monkey can follow to the end of the installation?
>>58944571
>thinks he can learn much by installing gentoo
Can't believe memes worked...
If you want to 'learn' then do LFS.

I've never had Debian fail on me. Been using it since 3.0 (sarge).

I'm free to ask..if you don't want to answer just do not answer..

Lower your MAKEOPTS so that you don't kill your PC.
