/g/ IS A GENTOO BOARD

>>60347337
I LOVE ARCH AND GENTOO!!!!

HOW ABOUT YOU KILL yourSELF YOU NOT SO NICE RUDE DUDE!

Make me, nerd.

Got an Openbox install guide?

>>60347358
emerge x11-wm/openbox

>>60347372
fug it, I will try to install gentoo

>>60347337
Agreed.
Bump

>>60347337
Does it really run faster? I mean, pretty much every desktop is an x86-64, so I see no point in tayloring the OS.

Also wondering.

>would take a week to compile anything
>have machine that runs fine
>literally no need to run ultra-optimized software

>>60349178
WOW RUDE FUCK YOU!

>>60349683
older machines that could use a boost is literally where gentoo shines. Slow to install, faster when you're done

>tfw you have a functional, GRUBless Gentoo installation with fewer than 600 packages
If you don't /gentoo/, you don't /comfy/.

>>60349772
How long does it take to compile things smaller than a browser? How long do routine updates take?

>>60349852
reeaaaallly depends on your hardware. The base system alone took my powermac g4 an entire week.

>>60349830
>GRUBless
How? Teach me your booting magic tricks

>>60347337
arch is honorary /g/entoo distro

>>60349880
If you're on uefi, go read about efibootmgr on gentoo wiki.

Friendly reminder that /g/ is a WHITE board

If you are of any other color, please get off this board and go brush your teeth because your breath probably still smells of cum

If you are a gook, please neck yourself immediately

>>60350760
Since when are Indians white?

elementary os is better

>>60350760
rainbow is better

most here use windows 10 or phones. few might have linux in a vm so they can shitpost in desktop threads and 2 might actually use it.

>nu-/g/ isn't real

>>60349872
just to show how much it varies, I have an x220 wth a dual core i5 and a desktop with a ryzen 1700 and the x220 took about 10 hours to install everything (libreoffice takes 3 hours, kernel takes 45 min)

ryzen system compiles the kernel in less than a minute and a half and took under 2 hours to install

Gentoo is amazing. I can have multiple conflicting versions of packages, or 64 and 32 bit libraries at once. And it's all fine because the programs that depend on specific architectures or specific versions of programs are compiled from source, so portage just links them with the version it knows it depends on.

See https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/slotting/ and https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2015-03-28-true-multilib.html

If you've ever had to deal with dependency issues with packages you'll know why this is awesome.

Also being able to manually include (or exclude) certain features from any package or your kernel is extremely useful. For example, I was able to simply remove the SSL heartbeat extension and recompile my packages when the heartbleed vuln came out.

Did I even mention Portage?
>Portage works without any external repo.
>Portage supports using llvm icc etc to build with.
>Portage supports distcc.
>Portage supports slotting of dependencies.(multiple versions of python, ruby, gtk etc)
>Portage supports multiple kernels BSD Fedora debian etc.
>Portage can thread package installs and downloads

Meanwhile, with Arch
>overzealous autistic fan boys
>"you'll learn how Linux REALLY works!" When it's literally just configuring a package manager and letting scripts do the rest
>offers nothing that minimal net installs already offered for other distros don't.
>muh bleeding edge packages!! when you can just install directly from the upstream source in any distro.
>only reason to use it is the aur, which is full of broken and unmaintained packages and isn't monitored at all, most "packages" are just a bash script to download the package and it's install script from GitHub.
>aur is far worse than Open Build Service, which actually lets you package binaries and programs for multiple distros.

there's nothing it offers that makes it worth using over any other distros and it has the worst fucking user base.

Why can't we have more pastas like this

>tfw using Ubuntu
Is it too late to take the gentoopill?

>>60354175
Never too late. In fact, installing Gentoo from an Ubuntu live CD is my preferred way

Loser

>>60354228
How? Any tutorials?

>>60347337
Oh good! I'm actually going to install gentoo today. May I post here until then? I am technically speaking not a gentoo user as of yet.

>>60347432
Like any other distro just read the manual and you're good to go

>>60354349
The standard tutorial? Just run the commands from Ubuntu live instead of Gentoo live.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64

You download stage3 as one of the steps, so you can install it from anywhere

i second this. I personally use an arch live cd but yeah. gentoo live image doesn't have UEFI, so ubuntu is probably great so you can do efistub booting for the fastest boots of your life

>>60354701
>gentoo live image
The fact this exists pretty much disproves the need to compile anything to your architecture, which most likely is x86 64bit.

it's completely unoptimized and has a huge kernel simply to get you to boot into something you can download a tarball from

I'm using Debian Sid and there's nothing you can do to stop me. I even compile software daily, something you gentoofags do for practically everything.
