Where did the 'install gentoo' meme originate from?

I think it's not a meme anymore, people have good internet connection and multi threaded machines.

I agree, Gentoo is actually pretty fucking awesome senpai.

>>60829774
it was the response given when asked for tech support. now we have /sqt/... o how 4chan has changed

Installing Gentoo would actually solve most of the problems asked in those threads

And invite a myriad of others.

it really isn't a meme. I would argue it's the only linux that really just werks. You just have to wait for compile time

Gentoo requires you to actually read a handbook which guides you through installing it. This means that you will learn some things as well as getting a working GNU/Linux system installed.

When people say "install gentoo" they are actually giving you some good advice, specially if you're asking a question related to Windows since installing Gentoo will remove the windows botnet infestation from your computer.

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

>"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.

Winfats are already disqualified, then. They're more tech illiterate than macfags. Reading a handbook is expecting too much from them.
