Everything just feels way more complicated than it needs to be.

I tried installing Openshot (a video editor) but I couldn’t figure out how to fix the error it spits out when I try to emerge it.

I will now try out Arch and hope I don’t need a master’s degree to install packages.

Edit: Gentoo isn’t the first distro I’ve tried, I’ve been daily driving Debian for more than a year and just wanted to try it out since I heard good things about it. And also I didn’t really need to use Openshot, I just wanted some video editor and arbitrarily chose to install that one.

Also I guess I will just stick with Debian since apparently Arch is also complicated.

    I installed Gentoo back when I was just starting out with Linux (I got the release from the DVD on the front of a magazine, if you want an idea of how long ago this was!). I learned a tonne about Linux that has stuck with me to this day, but then promptly wiped the drive and installed something that I actually wanted to use day-to-day hahaha.

    So yeah, it happens!
