I was watching a YouTube live, this guy was repairing a macbook, and he literally ranted for some time when i asked him to install gentoo

Because it's good to try new thing every now and then

>>60150618
please go on. Sounds like an interesting story

install plan9

portage is an exceptional package manager

>>60151011
it's exceptionally slow

it respects your freedoms

>>60150587
Portage is the best package manager of all time
>can use whatever compile/use flags you want (so you're not stuck on that vim version that has no clipboard because your library host decided so)
>can have multiple package versions installed at once
>don't have to compile, just set up a portage binhost
>missing a package? just get a portage overlay (no "sudo apt update" required!)

USE=-systemd

make your own decisions you pathetic empty husk

>>60150587
Hardened,musl,no systemd

gentoo hardened used to exist

>instell gentoo
>Setup systemd instead of openrc by following the handbook
try to issue commands like localectl, hostnamectl, timedatectl
>Failed to create bus connection. No such file or directory

Deleting this fucking meme os and installing arch linux
It just works.

Because it literally won't be fucking worth it sitting on your ass compiling literally everything for fuckings on no end

>>60150618
sauce

>>60152515

I shiggydiggy.

>>60150587
it's honestly not that bad and doesn't force systemd down your throat.


OpenSUSE is my other goto for linux.

>>60151076
OP will be dead by that time software finishs compiling

the average non-gentoo user

>>60152495
this

at the very least gentoo should have documentation to set something as important as systemd up if they're going to offer it as an option. I had problems too.

I heard Funtoo is easy to install and supports games? Is that true?

>>60150587
>decided to give the gentoo meme a whirl
>it was easy as fuck
millenials just have no idea what it was like to run linux in the 90's when there was 0 driver support and you couldn't google the answer to everything

>>60150587
You will receive unlimited pussy

>>60155268
can confirm
I use gentoo and pussy everyday

>>60151076
You can run multiple portage at the same time.

Because I don't have time for compile the whole OS, DE and other utilities

You will find yourself

>>60154448
if you use binhost you are using binaries meaning 90% of the reason for using portage is gone

>>60154249
outside of the kernel and a webbrowser compiling is not that bad unless you're on old ass hardware in which case you might actually see performance improvements from the software custom compiled anywho.

>>60150587
/g/ will kinda repect you

>>60155238
Sounds awful. How did you even run it if there were no drivers?

>>60155268
This

I didn't get laid until I installed gentoo

>pull out brand new thinkpad with riced gentoo desktop
>Girl: "What's THAT anon?"
>"This is Gentoo. Only pros use this."
>"Does it have Google Chrome?"
>"No. it has google chromium. That's what NASA uses."
>she starts sucking my dick

>>60150962
what does plan9 have

>>60154818
Yeah, it's built on top of gentoo but they made it normie-friendly so average people can enjoy it without the autistic installation process. Best game support too, I have not run into a single Windows game in my steam library that didn't work on funtoo.

Currently installing Gentoo onto my T420. Compiling kind of slowly but it's a fun learning experience since most of my linux exp was from Debian.

what? the kernel is fast to compile.

Chroium/(firefox)/llvm/webkit/libreoffice however

>>60152495
wtf I like arch now

>Deleting this fucking meme os and installing arch linux
Sure takes you a long time to get mad emotional, son. You encounter one issue you can't immediately solve and you throw your toys out of the pram. You're the guy who in a couple of months makes a thread about hating Linux because your Arch broke and you don't know how to fix it. "FUCK LINUX AND ALL YOU FREETARDS!!!! WINDOWS 10 JUST WORSK!!!!" You're that guy. Why even try to play ball outside of the sandbox made for plebs who don't know anything about tech? Clearly you're not the type of person who is interested in the inner workings and motivated to learn about stuff. You're just an infant who throws tantrums when things don't go exactly as you wish right off the bat.

>>60156075
>compiling libreoffice

ain't nobody got that kind of time

>>60155836

>>60152495
The same thing happens on arch as well and you need to do those manually.
T. Was installing arch an hour ago

holy shit he's mad

it really does just work though if you install Ubuntu or something, what the fuck is he smoking

>>60159693
I meant on the image, but I found it already.

>>60155813
you learned assembly very quickly bud

>>60159935
gtfo

>>60159999
so tell me, if you had a laptop or something that booted a black screen when you tried to boot a GNU/Linux environment, you would program in assembly? How did you know what to do? Did you have any training in creating drivers?

>>60152495
forgot to start dbus you fucking retard.

>>60160457

T-thanks

>>60160432
is this running in windows

>>60150587
Good learning process.

>>60155813
obviously standard interfaces still worked, you'd at least be able to get running in text mode heh

>>60163013
If you used a systemd stage3 just wait until you boot into it to do that shit.
