Tell me, why haven't you installed gentoo yet? btw, don't

When I got to the part where you configure the kernel, I didn't know what the fuck I was doing and the documentation wasn't detailed enough for my autistic mind to understand

Because I don't have a PC. just a android smartphone.

name 1 (one) gentoo user who contributed to humanity.

I'm too busy getting laid and doing actual work on my Windows 10 machine.

>>61159201
Installed gentoo, used it for some time.

Then I went back to windows because i actually like to get some work done.

Still dualbooting that shit tho just for shitposting on desktop threads

I'm not necessarily retarded, but I get scared whenever I see numbers and letters in monotype font on a black screen.

Oh shit

I read that it uses a bsd style ports system.
I've tried bsd and it's absolute shit.
Therefore I've avoided gentoo.

What.cd owners

I only just about managed to install Archbang after hours of trying to figure out disk partitioning

I'll give Gentoo a try in a few months

I'd use Gentoo if I didn't have to reinstall all my packages from Arch

Install Clover os.
Gentoo made easy for babies.

wow sharing nigger ape hop music sure helped humanity. meanwhile the international space station has debian, ubuntu is used by brilliant engineers that further human technology, and fedora is being used by linus torvalds.

Use btrfs + compression. It should save you some space.

>>61160661
This. Best install script for lazyasses.

>>61160652
gentoo uses openRC, the improvement of System V

>>61159201
Last time I successfully installed it was in 2004. I tried once recently and got stuck compiling the kernel.

There is simply no good reason to use gentoo nowadays anyway.

But what about telling everyone you use gentoo?

>>61160661
I I thought it wasn't ready for real word use?
I've been in the Clover OS threads and most people won't install it on real hardware, only virtual machines.

>>61159201
Because I have better things to do with my life.

slackware doesn't shove any initial system down your throat

>>61161840
I have it installed on my machine. It's usuable if your know what your doing.

>tfw Gentoo was the first OS I installed on my PC other than Windows and it wasn't even that hard

Maybe the "Install Gentoo" meme made more sense years ago, but these days the wiki and installation documentation are amazing. It's impossible to fuck up that badly. I think it's harder to install Arch.

True, Arch always fucks itself up.

>>61163126
You must be really smart, like really smart at following instructions. How long was the compile time for you?

>>61159201
its not opensuse
