I am though, I have Fedora install in WSL on Windows 10.

God tier.

Because I can't be arsed. I spent my teens messing around with gentoo, now I'm nearly 30 I just don't have the energy to even install it, let alone maintain it.

It lacks fancy GUI tools to make my life easier.

Disgusting desu

Leave this place and never return.
>>
>>60487674
But anon, you can install all the GUI tools that your heart desires. Portage, the package manager, even has a GUI.
>>
>>60487737
That is a lackluster experience still. I tried Sabayon, but other than their packages being out of date, the whole package manager deal was just weird.
>>
>>60487362
Ubuntu is good enough for me.

Just installed it few minutes ago. Now i try to figure out how ti get a DE...
>>
>>60487362
I like being able to run my packages without having to recompile a billion packages only because I changed a single USE flag.
>>
>>60487856
If you want to recompile one package to include a flag, you don't have to recompile EVERY single one if it's dependencies. for example i had to recompile FFMPEG to include support for the vpx codec and i only had to recompile ffmpeg and install its new dependency.

I found Gentoo easier to install than arch. Just use genkernel if you don't feel like dealing with kernel shit.

Is that a thinkpad?
okay thanks anon. What about compiling something like firefox or mate. Are the 5 hour memes true?
>>
>>60488297
With firefox you don't have to compile it. You can simply emerge firefox-bin.

I could not find the drivers so I said fuck it.

answer the question pajeet, what about compiling?
>>
>>60488365
Depends on what CPU you have, idiot. I doubt it would take 5 hours with modern hardware.
>>
>>60488401
It took around 20-30 minutes on my 2670qm and that was in a VM.
>>
>>60488365
Is FF so much smaller than Chromium? Chromium takes 1.5/2h to compile with 8 cores.

Chromium doesn't support parallel building that is it takes longer to compile

I am though. I fucking love it. It is literally the best operating system currently available.

>>60487362
because i'm paid to use windows

unironically planning to use gentoo on my next pc build since i want to run linux as a host for windows vms and shit (keeping most of my browsing and other shit away from windows)
>>
>>60492604
Do people unironically run this? I'm interested, but it looks like it has less documentation than other source distros.
>>
Is funtoo easier for beginners?
>>
>>60493878
Considering how easy is to create packages and use different libraries, yes, because is a nice testing environment. For daily driver too, but that is a discussion of pre-fetched binaries vs native compiled.
>>
>>60487362

because, i use FreeBSD

Because I am too lazy to configure it all by myself to get a decent, comfy environment. I am so fucking used to unity right now and it just works.
I aint even got time to try to get an awesome environment up atm, because of uni.
Maybe will try to switch something else in summer, but not sure

I am trying out lubuntu and I am very impressed by the ram and cpu usage
I am seriouly considering switching to it from windows 7 on my craptop
