Yeah, I know... I said I would never switch to Gentoo.
But... things have changed! Now that Rebos exists and I got
bored of Arch Linux distros, and Systemd takes way too long
to start up and shut down on my machines, I decided to try different distros
I started with Void Linux. It has too much going wrong, so then I tried
Gentoo! It also helps that all my Discord server admins use Gentoo. :)

    I found it guys, holy crap. It's an actual legit Gentoo video. This is a thing of beauty. Well done good sir.
  • @immoloism
    Gentoo sounds fun, I should try installing it one day.
  • @user-ze3bc8hw3y
    I Agree, GENTOO is simply awesome, initial install & setup is just a long process to go through, but it works well
  • @psmv3
    I have been using gentoo for a couple of months, and absolutely love it. although, it is a pain once you start adding lto & pgo; e.g., gcc takes me an 1 hour 30 mins (even with 14 cores 20 threads). But for me, it is really nice being able to control what goes into the cake. Keep using it, and welcome to the community!

    Hi from a fellow gentoo user PS: i also saw when you posted this in the gentoo discord
  • @timokrates
    Sounds really fun, good work. I predict one day you will basically reinvent nix by switching to a fictional configuration language. Personally would love to see that. maybe with nickel lang ❀️
  • @JsjdjJhdjd
    I saw a comment of you saying your on gentoo. I was confused for a bit until I saw this video.
  • @uri.
    I'm going crazy, you are so fck young, I feel so old now even being young myself.. keep going, you're doing cool stuff πŸ‘
  • @guytech7310
    Good Luck because you going to need it! Plan to spend several hours per week to keep each gentoo machine updated. Failure & your left with a stuck machine since they delete all of older packages you need to upgrade your system usually in a 30 days or less on the gentoo package server. Also run into dependency hell, which you cannot upgrade packages as the new package script only supports newer dependencies. The best alternative is Arch but you still need to keep that update within about a 60 to 90 day cycle, and have to deal with updating your config files when a new release has change the config options, forcing you to figure out the changes needed and then edit your config files.

    Hey i never understood why people use gentoo for a daily basis. I thought that the system was quite unstable and that you had to recompile everything everytime you had to do an update. I mean i see why you would want to install it (learn how your system works etc...) but are you using gentoo and not something more stable like fedora or endeavourOS ? (might be a stupid question). anyway good videos keep going.
  • @aloneer0529
    on any distro that doesn't use systemd you need to use dbus-run-session, not dbus-session-run :P
  • @derrekvanee4567
    Nah. The new Gtoo with the mini pkg Mgr? That daid, everything is available from git and anything worth it you can update youreelf. next up LFS.
