HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

I'm kind of rusty when it comes to Gentoo but when posting something like this it's usually a good idea to post your make.conf and also any errors that displayed.

Did you change the ACCEPT_LICENSE from the default in your make.conf? IIRC it requires the freedist license which isn't available if you changed it to *FREE.

If you don't have any luck here you could also try posting on the Gentoo forum and searching there for similar problems.

>This isn't installing the linux kernel sources into /usr/src/ for some reason.
Post the build log

But there's literally nothing that can go wrong with this, unless you're running emerge on one computer, and checking /usr/src on another (or outside of chroot)

Does anybody actually use Gentoo? I've never met a single person in real life who has ever used it. Even in screenfetch threads I only see one or two.

I've been trying to get it to work but something always goes wrong and I just revert back to an it-just-werks distro.

It should install it into something like /usr/src/linux-{version}. You can then use eselect kernel list and eselect kernel set to make a symlink from that version to /usr/src/linux, or just do that yourself

Build it from the source directory in /usr/sources

install gentoo

tried it for a server once but didn't like it that much. if you want to install something like OpenSSL 1.1.0 system-wide it will break 9001 packages that refuse to compile. gentoo stable is a-ok though.

>>61323701
You need to select it using eselect.
sudo eselect kernel list
sudo eselect kernel set number_here

I do use gentoo on a desktop PC and two laptops.

>>61326529
I do. It was a pain in the ass to get everything working though

>>61326529
I use gentoo on three desktops, laptop and a vps
It's more deveoper-friendly than Ubuntu, plus you still need to get into the guts of the os because none of them really "just werk"

i have two laptops, one workstation and one server running gentoo.

I think you are correct about him not being chrooted

>>61326529
I used it once. My computer hard drive was slow as fuck. So building everything from source was too slow. Uninstalled gentoo and installed Arch.

How long/how many tries did it take for you to successfully get gentoo working as a normal OS? Did you use any resource aside from the wiki?

I have it on my laptop right now. I have Arch on my other two computers.

I didn't find it that bad except for trying to get lvm on luks working and a couple of packages that failed to build (upgrading them to the testing branch fixed it).

Overall, it can be a huge pain in the ass to use, but portage is pretty great.

>>61326529
Use it on my desktop, laptop, and home server.

Gentoo on 2 boxes, CloverOS on 2 laptops
