Is it a good idea to utilize Gentoo's USE flags, for example

>he thinks all it takes for software to get "KDE and qt4 support" is a USE FLAG

Hint: if the software wasn't written with support for those, you can't just create it out of nothing. Only few software has GUI frontends for both.

That's pretty much the point in using Gentoo...

I'd be surprised if you could get a decent system _without_ proper use flags

>>59703829
I did exactly that and no problems. Whenever you need a browser that is programmed in GTK then portage will tell you you need that use-flag for that package. Than all you have to do is set it specifically for that package.

But also, OP, join the superior -* for global USE flags.

Here are my global use flags, v v light system :3

I disabled GNOME, KDE, gtk and qt webkits, I use only gtk and qt. Good flags remove a shitload of redundant dependencies.

dude just set these in make.conf with euse, this is Philistine tier.

No need to be a autist. I only have 4 global USE flag changes made in make.conf because the profile set defaults are actually sane, and 26 per package changes in package.use (out of which most are just -X to not complie the gui version of some basic tools). t. gentoo pro
