I am still unable to install CloverOS on a virtual box with the install script. It installs but never gives me a desktop.
>writes an install script
>calls it an operating system
if you're gonna make a distro, make a real fucking distro, not just another pointless derivative
>>60896540
>>60897176
The packages aren't a derivative.
>>60897209
how so?
if you have your own repo, why not just use that repo in vanilla gentoo?
>>60897238
It's similar to Crunchbang, which was the goal of CloverOS.
>>60897294
Crunchbang was also pointless.
The only real thing they were selling were some configs.
Anyone could install openbox on debian and download a config from github.

comment outPORTAGE_BINHOST="https://cloveros.ga"in make.conf andemerge gnome-base/gnome.
This requires systemd. CloverOS has mate, xfce, lxde and will have kde. I'm figuring out a way to do Gnome without systemd.

Solution is to make a discord and to add the serious people to good text chat and have the unwashed uncleansed tards be in #general.
>>60903273
>discord
>>60903321
Okay, well, what would you suggest? I thought all the /g/angsters used Discord.
>>60903330
Nothing. Just do it yourself and use /g/ for advice and the occasional pull request.
>>60903349
I'm not OP.
>>60903355
/g/ projects are like any other school group project, gotta find the sucker to do it
I'm installing cloverOS. I'll let you know how it turns out for upboats
>>60903330
Having a discord is a bad idea. It usually devolves into a new discord every week when instead you can have a general.

Yea that's twm. It's supposed to be really minimal. You can install a DM and some other WMs/DEs with emerge, and the installer will be updated with more as well I hear
>>60903660
twm only uses 3MB ram though. Feel free to emerge something else and replace thetwm&in .bash_profile

Neofetch isn't in the repo
Firefox doesn't launch:
>default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
>zsh: segmentation fault firefox
>>60904710
It does that in Virtualbox because Firefox requires opengl for some reason, I'm looking into it.
>>60904710
Neofetch added
>>60904726
I'm getting this error installed to real hardware with the default nouveau bullshit loaded. Will probably be fixed installing prop. drivers. RIP freedom.

I installed cloverOS and X starts but I dont hgave a cursor and no options, just a wallpaper what do I do?
Is it ready for day to day use yet?
>>60898907
Fun is a buzzword
Why should I switch from Arch to Clover?
>>60896540
Can someone explain the advantages of using portage?
>>60908465
It has been for awhile. It is built off of Gentoo and has support of all those packages. Just install whatever DE/WM you want and get ricing.
>>60908487
Best package manager ever. Easily handle multilib with simply setting a USE flag for each piece of software you want 32 bit or 64 bit support on.
Portage also allows for multiple versions of the same software package to be installed with slotting.
Portage makes it very easy to add a git directly as an overlay so you can basically integrate any git project directly into your package manager pretty seamlessly/easily.
Lots of other stuff but it all really depends on what you do.
>>60908461
click for cursor and click & hold for menu. kinda like openbox but left click
>>60908470
>s-stop having fun you guys, how dare you do something you enjoy!!!
>>60908477
Arch is system dicks
Clover is OpenRC with a nearly divine packa
Don't let your software cuck you.
>another linux distro
>>60908522
I tried, but I have no cursor or mouse input whatso ever
on a T470
so is this gentoo with an installer?
Constructive criticism-
Your homepage sucks.
I learned more in 15 seconds from the github page than I did from the homepage, this is a problem because almost anyone else would have just closed the page and walked away, instead of trying to dig for an extra 20 seconds.
First impressions are important. Even if you just copied your info from the github page it'd be a notable improvement.
>>60908663
no, it's an install script for gentoo

To fix, run:emerge -1O llvm mesa

>>60911487
all those meme placebo flags to end up with broken packages, top lel
>>60911561
Yeah. I need to find what doesn't work and add them to package.env.
>>60911558
It's hard on the eyes. Some tips:
- Don't center CloverOS
- Background should be dark instead of beige
- Someone needs to find the font for CloverOS because that png isn't transparent
>>60911588
The font that matches closest to it is Bruta glb.
I wanted to recreate the text, but it was not in the repos and everywhere to download it was shady.
>>60911487
Nice, that worked.
>>60897328
>Crunchbang was also pointless.
this. if you wanted a system already set up for you, then Arch wasn't for you anyways.

This. Isn't there just... Linux. No distros, just you and bash?
I can't believe I forgot to put awesome in cloveros repo. It's in now.
maybe give the option to use xfce/lxde or twm when you install?
>>60916053
It's easy enough to do it after install:emerge xfce4-meta
sed -i "s/twm/startxfce4/" ~/.bash_profile
>>60916182
fair enough
>>60916182
When I do this I get an error that there are no binary packages to meet xfce4-meta
>>60915382
No. Linux is just a kernel. It wasn't an OS until people started porting GNU tools to it, notably bash, glibc, gcc, and so on.

It's pre riced Gentoo that comes with anime tiddie wallpapers. You know exactly who and what it's for.
>>60920143
Very nice multilanguage support.
>>60920003
It doesn't /come/ with tiddie anime wallpapers, to be fair. It's gentoo for people who are too impatient to install real gentoo

So what makes this OS special? Security? Speed?
What programs does it come with, file managers etc?

So let's say I want to install this on my PowerMac G4. Can I just use a regular Gentoo LiveCD, replace the CFLAGS and the references to x86-64 in the install script and get it up and running?
>>60920316
The entire point of it is precompiled amd64 binaries. Just use regular Gentoo.
compiling fonts isn't normal
but on gentoo it is
I have to ask. Why "emerge" for the syntax?
>>60920380
gentoo
>>60920389
shouldn't we make this our own?
>>60919899
>What makes it better than other OSs?
It's a good distro. That's what makes it different. No systemd, no services bloat, looks good and runs fast, has the programs /g/ uses out of the box, installs easily.
>>60920406
Sure but you want to write up our own implementation of a package manager?
>>60920493
cd /
tar xvf package-1.0.0.tar
tar is all the package management you need
Question: What's the selling point on this over Arch? I've not used Gentoo before.

Wait, this is a binary distro, right? Seems like it would be perfect for my laptop. Void is nice and all but I'm going to be installing gentoo on my desktop and it will be nice to have similar environments on both, without having to compile for hours on my low-power cpu.
>>60919775

You don't. 64 bit only.

CloverOS is an out of the box desktop. If you use Gentoo, you're probably gonna come to a similar conclusion as CloverOS (package.use, installed packages). You're basically using my Gentoo install.
>>60925003
The real question is why run this over CrunchBang/BunsenLabs. And that answer is better speed, ram use and being targeted to the average /g/ user.
>>60926770
>why run this over CrunchBang/BunsenLabs.
Maybe because these projects are dead?
It's Sabayon if it wasn't a complete abomination. (It uses an incompatible fork of portage, has bloated configuration, a second package manager for binaries, lacks a stage3 base install, etc.)
>>60926556
