I did that. Unironically, I just said fuck it, I’ll give it a shot.
And… it just works. Like updates kinda fuck up a bit after not using it for a bit (I didn’t have time to use my desktop lately), but everything works great.
I’m sure I could get mostly the same experience with Arch, but it’s just fun to flag off entire parts of software from even compiling. Also OpenRC is great.
I can stream Steam games, which works much better on Gentoo than Ubuntu with the same hardware.
Gentoo is not a meme, the compiles on modern CPUs are fast, software is wonderfully packaged, and I will not use anything else on my desktop ever.
I know, my dad used gentoo in his glory days on pentium machines probably spending days compiling Firefox. Gentoo is way less of a meme now than what it was then. It’s actually a good distro if you want control.
Should’ve installed gentoo.
Will i understand the plot of gentoo if I havent installed genone?
Yes, but you’ll need to compile it from source
Compile gentree already GabeN!
STAGE ZERO!
