It's almost like I have a modern computer
very nice thread, i bet you put a lot of though into it.

How long it took to compile, 4 days?
This broke ass faggot are acting all superior
Let's see how it stands after it's been up longer than 13 minutes.
tahrpup is good enough for me
what's the point of a 29MB footprint if you're just going to fire up chrome and have it eat all your ram?
>It's like you love bloat.
Yes, I do.
20min according to genlop
what wm is that?
pape?
Gentoo is a server OS. Gimping your computer experience just to essentially bench low RAM usage is one of the dumbest things I see on this board. Useful for older machines though yeah.
twm
Gentoo is a general-purpose OS.
>twm
thanks, I'll look into it
>WM: not found
>yet somehow has windows
font?
I disagree, for some software you want to install from source and decide what is enabled and what not, and I can think on other reasons as to why use a source based distro
>Shell: dash
why
0 seconds because I used the firfox binary
I like bloat. It makes me feel like a big guy
It's almost like everyone said this to themselves and now we're in the state of everything wasting memory and cycles because 'premature optimization'. Chrome doesn't need to use 8GB of memory to show me the current tab.
>29 mb
>not 20kb
lmao it's like you love bloat
For you
For OP
Damn, that's impressive. I get mine to about 100M after a couple days of usage. I'll see what I can use from your config. Thanks.
I work better with tiny systems. Nothing fucking moves, steals focus or is generally annoying. It just sits there, like a good tool, waiting for you to do stuff with it.
Gentoo is a literally everything OS. Its out-of-the-box low memory footprint makes it great for servers and low-end desktops. Its huge amount of packages (partially thanks to layman) allows you to use any tiny and super ricable WM or bloated and awesome DE on it and configure it exactly to your liking, which makes it great for all desktops. Its configurability and huge amount of support make it great for weird use cases (e.g. Gentoo Prefix).

RU EVN TRYN?
>still worries about bloat
If you arent a ramlet and have at least 16gb it wont affect you
Hard drives are useless. RAM is faster, browsers perform better this way.
good, but, is it usable?
>29MB footprint
That's about 29MB too high.
>29MB usage
>not using the distro
You are, in fact, OP, not using the distro if it's only using 29MB, congrats.
All the GNU programs are there like cd, mkdir, mount, etc... that make a fully working operating system as guided by POSIX.
Yes it does since websites are now advanced and powerful nowadays
So there's more RAM for Chrome to eat you dumb sack of shit.
>websites
>advanced
>powerful
So... you only use your system for changing and making directories? Neet!
Are you saying that Richard Stallman isn't a genius for inventing cp?
is stallman a pedo?
Without him, we wouldn't be able to copy files!
Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
This. Gentoo is the only stable distro out there anyway. Plus, it has the second largest package availability, just behind arch.
>I'm a whiny underage wrong generation faggot who parrots opinions without even knowing what they mean, so please give me attention!
Yes, whether you like it or not the Web in 2017 is indeed far more advanced and "powerful" in what can be done on it than it was in 1997.
>gentoo
>server os
hahaha, show me one fucking competent company using this aspergers meme of an OS on it's servers
Seriously, you think IT guys just sit around all day installing gentoo from scratch when for the total cost of 70 FUCKING MEGABYTES of memory they could have something that isn't freetard garbage and uses systemd?
i have 8gb of ram, i dont need to give a fuck about bloat
400mb idle never hurt anyone post windows vista
(systemd is officially supported in gentoo as an openRC alternative)
...
>Useful for older machines though yeah.
yeah cause compiling shit on old pc's is so fun
Arch has the two usual problems: there's no clear policy about what software can be included, and nonfree blobs are shipped with their core. Arch also has no policy about not distributing nonfree software through their normal channels.
how long does it take to boot?
How can it be the best when it is so easy to use?
>29MB footprint
the dream
what have you done on your machine besides rice your desktop?
what sort of programming applications have you developed?
Your point? Vim takes a second to install, C compiler is there anyway... also if you program stuff you actually use on your system, there's nothing better than Gentoo because you can install all the stuff via ebuilds and overlays straight from your git repositories
>pretend to hate bloat
>be obese
?
>using X
Could cut that in half.
Gentoo is NOT a server OS.
It is too bleeding edge. It can be used to make extremely stable systems but it requires too much fine tuning for individual machines for it to be a real choice.
>using 29MB
Look guys. I do absolutely nothing with my resources. Am I cool or what?
Time to fireup a forkbomb.
Not everybody is the same as you.
>too bleeding edge
>6 years old gcc version
Sure, buddy. It's rolling release, but it's far from bleeding-edge.

>"using" Linux isn't primarily about dicking around with the OS itself rather doing other stuff on an OS that just werks and doesn't get in your way (let alone, than being productive in a way, shape, or form)
>implying systemd is somehow mandatory in "serious" Linux
Linux had replaced commercial Unix in most professional appliances many years before the idea of the systemd mostrosity ever even dawned in Poettering's head.
Please do enlighten us how a "modern" Linux distro should look and work, from the boot process to the userland and everything.
>just don't globally enable ** or ~amd64

MY FUCKING SIDES
boot:efistub
userland:mksh,openrc,x11,plan9port/9base
c library:musl
compiler:tcc

wooooow.........

wow. BloatNU BTFO.
If you use keyword ~amd64 you get way edgier than most distros.

where is your god now
Puta que pariu!
El problema puede causado para la paella
You can shave off quite a bit of RAM usage if you ditched the WM and just loaded everything directly into X.
>2kb
>not 1b
nice botnet u hav here
Why X at all if there's screen or tmux
A window manager is pretty much necessary for a working desktop
>1b
>not 1 nybble
do you even lightweight bruh
For a few hundred mb more, you can get something that doesn't require severe autism to use.
Wall Street actually unironically uses Gentoo.
>a nibble
>not just a bit
kek
fuck.
ask your parents why youre so retard
What the fuck can you even do with this ... thing i guess?
Quite serious question though, never understood "what can / does this do"
You can fuck around in the filesystem using commands n shiet
...
>uses source based distribution
>uses binary packages
hmmmmmmmm
It's almost like you can configure all the source packages as you want them, and also install a few or many binary packages.

You can do this actually
He didn't invent it. Just did an independent implementation.
Why screen or tmux when there is a serial console?
