If netrunner is ever finished and if it's good, will it be the default browser for Clover?

>>61079454
CloverOS is a pre-riced, out-of-the-box Gentoo that's by /g/, for /g/. It's as close to default Gentoo as possible, with all of the configuration made in

/etc/portage/make.conf

unlike other Gentoo-based distros like Sabayon. The scripts can be used to install it to hard drive, generate a LiveCD and create the CloverOS repo. The CloverOS repo is built with custom CFLAGS for optimum performance, and the USE flags are configured for desktop use. It focuses on speed and low ram usage, doesn't have systemd or other service bloat, and has software out of the box. There's some dotfiles in the home directory by default to save time. CloverOS should be an all-around good desktop distro while remaining simple. The default WM is twm, which allows you to move, resize, minimize/restore windows and launch programs.

If you use Gentoo, you'll probably come to a similar conclusion as CloverOS (package.use, installed packages). The original goal was to be similar to CrunchBang/BunsenLabs, but with Gentoo instead of Debian. This has some speed and memory advantages, as well as including programs and configuration for the average /g/ user.

>>61079413
>any UI I want bro
See that's the thing, I just want one that works and I don't have to use command prompt text on.
Does the default at least work kinda like Win98/7?
These Linux variations will never see wide spread use until they're as idiot friendly as Win/Mac/Android/BBOS10.

The rest sounds good.

explain to me why i should use this distro over anything else in 3 sentences or less and i will download it

>>61079729
It's fast as fuck, has no Poettering spyware, is based on the best Linux distro and has low RAM usage.

Have you thought of using runit as init system and service supervisor? It's tiny and fast as fuck.

did you jump directly into the meme-distros? Most the popular shit can be entirely mouse and GUI driven. Typing accuracy has nothing to do with it unless you chimped out after forgetting how to backspace.

There is very little reason for you to use a /g/entoo-based OS with such half-ass reasons for not using Linux in the first place. You're more than welcome to install gentoo and try again, but you'll get nowhere with that attitude.

tl;dr do some typing practice on keybr or something you donut

can I install this onto a separate hard drive, then transfer the harddrive onto my thinkpad?

What is CloverOS doing to bypass Firefox's new hard dependency on PulseAudio?

>>61080030
Yes.

>>61079522
Are those real reviews?

>>61080045
./configure still lets you build Firefox with alsa instead of pulse. it's just hidden now

Is this a good distro to start with?

>>61080054
Definitely, 99.999% positive.

>>61080046
is the linux kernel that dynamic? I won't have to use special flag or anything? I'm honestly considering it, since it is a t410 and my desktop uses a better i5 and more ram, which wouldn't take forever to do compared to making the thinkpad do it instead.

>>61072940
Someone actually got past the "I'll design the logo" phase? Give me a reason why i switch to this from Fedora,

i doubt there is more than 1 person "working" on this, considering the obvious samefaggotry and bumping of this thread, the only purpose of this "distro" is ego self-inflation.
A distro for nobody, as nobody, who would need a gentoo install script would have need in gentoo in first place.

Lubuntu, Arch, and Bunsen just werked, as well as a broken SourceMage iso write.

How do I make this werk?

>>61089069
Do you really need to ask this?

>>61072940
Question for devs.
How do you keep the distro updated with the upstream?
Is it simply using the same repos, or do you manually check and patch each package?
Want to spin my own *buntu distro that's super vanilla, except for some changes to an obscure interface and was curious.

>>61089703
The build server is basically just a gigantic Gentoo install. quickpkg puts together the packages.

Made a livecd but can't seem to get my machine to recognise it (though Mint recognises that it's a Gentoo livecd)

Anyone else having booting problems?

>>61090676
yes I tried yesterday the usb drive didn't boot but I assumed I did something wrong

>>61089638
check your ISO, there have been quite a few times i had downloaded a broken ISO (or maybe it's just bad luck on my side, anyways, it won't hurt you to download the thing again), if it doesn't work maybe the problem is on the storage device itself, try using another one.

>>61076311
>botnet on FOSS software.
just read the source code.

>>61093467
In this case, one would have to build the entire CloverOS repo and do checksumming.

>>61089069
Yes.

The is doesn't boot for me unless I make the USB with Rufus. The iso doesn't have a /boot for UEFI bootloaders

I'm still trying to figure out why this works so I can add something to the build script on the official github.

>>61099087
Looks like it's fixed by adding these files to the root of the iso. You'd need to unpack the iso, add the files, and repack.

>>61099087
>>61099266
I'll do this for the iso on official github right now

Does Clover itself support UEFI if I were to install it into an empty USB hard drive via live CD? Or would I be better off just writing a persistent version of the live CD into the drive itself? I only ask because I don't have the means of installing it to a SATA connected drive right now

>>61099953
It works with UEFI

>>61099968
I just tried to boot into the hard drive after installing Clover onto it and my computer recognizes it as a bootable device, but doesn't boot into it at all. I can access all the files for the distro and everything but it's just a storage device at best right now. Any ideas why?

no fucking keyboard shortcuts/mouse presses do anything

why the hell did you people base this off gentoo? gentoo is unstable as hell.

it should be right click instead

same shit, different name, still poettering trash

systemd is the biggest trojan horse to come to linux

how the fuck did he even think of putting it all in the init anyway? it's a genius idea

>>61106867
so it is supposed to have device node errors. I thought I fucked up something.

Alright boys and girls, I'm installing it as a virtualmachine. Am I in for a wild ride?

>Auto rice so I can have those desktop threads as my desktop instantly
This is what I needed to switch from Windows, I didn't want to have to spend time ricing

Installed it and actually like that I'm learning more in depth into what made other distros work. I'm trying to figure out how to enable auto usb mounting so I can move some config files I have stored on my usb drive.

>>61109388
Some DEs have udisks support

>>61109440
so the default twm doesn't have it. The gentoo wiki suggests using

USE="udisks"

so it can be automatically used globally. I can just append that to

USE="binddist"

in make.conf

>>61109523
You have to install a file manager that has it.

>>61109581
I'm guessing xfe doesn't?

>>61109602
Xfce, Mate, KDE has disk management

>>61109610
I'm using openbox at the moment, guess I'll switch to xfce

>>61109702
You could also just do

mkdir usb
mount /dev/sdb1 usb

>>61100321
Nope didn't work

Alright. I managed to get the OS to boot.
Just a few reminders.
>If you are booting the installation iso via usb, set your BIOS to UEFI first!
>Boot up your computer first and then proceed with the installation.
>It will ask you to partition your device and where to select your installation for your os.
>Afterwards, it will ask to set up your username, admin pass, and login pass.
>Once the installation is finished, the installion will reboot your pc.
>If it is still booting up the installation, turn off your computer and remove the usb booter
>Start you computer again and go to your bios setup and switch the bootmode to Legacy
>Save changes and reset

You should now boot into your meme distro! You will know when it works if it asks for a login in the terminal. Just input the username and login pass that you set in the installation. Then it will ask for what desktop enviorment you want and you will be good to go. Have fun!
