CloverOS GNU/Linux is scripts that creates a Gentoo image and a packages repo (Binhost) that contains unique USE flags and CFLAGS. It aims to be an out of the box desktop distro. (The LiveCD is already built) New mirror: useast.cloveros.ga Mirrors now run on OpenBSD New things added to repo: alienarena avp darkplaces doomsday ezquake-bin lsdldoom nexuiz openarena quake3 sauerbraten urbanterror warsow wolfgl xonotic
Can someone give me a very good reason to switch to cloverOS from the Debian install I have now? No meme or shitposting answers, actual valid reasons because I've been thinking about switching to Gentoo for a while now but haven't felt like doing it for one reason or another. Also, is there any non-free wi-fi firmware for T510s in the cloverOS repos or somewhere?
Austin Wright
- Good performance - Gentoo is a good distro - No systemd/pulseaudio - Easy to build software out of the box. no -dev packages
>non-free wi-fi firmware linux-firmware comes by default
Ryder Taylor
lads are there any decent wayland WM/DE's out there?
Oliver Stewart
Enlightenment KDE
Josiah Perry
these also openrc is lighter than systemd, which is good if you are running a laptop with a shit battery.
Adam Brown
Okay. Thanks. I think I will install cloverOS after I backup all my files. How long should it take, given that I have an i5 in my T510?
Jeremiah Torres
not long at all. The build script took a couple of minutes to install, especially since the liveCD doesn't have internet enabled
Nathaniel Davis
livecd takes a few minutes to install
installscript takes about 30min
Aaron Howard
Okay. Then In that case, I will probably be back in a few hours. Thanks m80s. Here's some anime titties for the help.
Leo Perry
very nice, have fun nigga
Nolan Parker
So how do I install this on m2 ssd
Joseph Cruz
Sway might be good when it's finished. Basically an i3 clone.
I'd love to make this my offical linux distro, I love Sup Forums and its people so the idea of being in on a community project of a place ive been a part of for almost a decade
is this viable for daily use and even videogames?
Joshua Gonzalez
Will it break after an update like ALL Arch flqvors?
Levi Cooper
I have it installed as a daily os. I was able to play Mount and Blade Warband and Napoleonic Wars with mod support via steam and wine.
Andrew King
>this sort of just popped up over night didn't it?
Pretty much. I've been using Gentoo for years and knew about the CloverOS meme, only just decided to do it 3 weeks ago.
>is there a dedicated team for this?
I integrated some input and configuration files I got from others, and there's forks floating around. Check #cloveros on Rizon. The scripts are painfully simple. Anyone can generate their own Gentoo livecd by modifying the script.
>is this viable for daily use and even videogames?
I've been maintaining my system since 2012, which CloverOS is based on.

I will give it a shot now and quit this out

Cheat sheet
Installing program emerge filezilla
Upgrading system emerge --sync emerge -uavD world
Installing a program when emerge gives an error emerge -uavD filezilla world dispatch-conf emerge -uavD filezilla world
Package isn't available Make an issue so I can add the package. In the meantime, edit /etc/portage/make.conf and edit the following line: EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--keep-going=y --autounmask-write=y --jobs=2 -G" to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--keep-going=y --autounmask-write=y --jobs=2" This disables the binhost and uses Portage's ebuilds for packages.
Gabriel Perry
why should I use CloverOS over gentoo?
Oliver Parker
CloverOS is Gentoo
Aiden Morgan
why cover the camera instead of just disconnecting it?
Thomas Robinson
could just unpeel sticker if needed to camwhore
Charles Taylor
Kernel version 4.9.16? Isn't that rather old by this point?
Jonathan Hill
because you'd rather change an already going system to be what you want than make a system to be what you want which goes against what gentoo is all about
Levi Harris
sway is good now. the only thing holding me back is a good bar.
Colton Lewis
cleaned up
Adam Young

please please install image magic and make some actual icons

Benjamin Carter
Just installed, but my computer can't boot into it. No grub or anything. Anyone else having this issue?
Hunter Davis
How easy would it be to dualboot clover with windows? I'd love to try this out but I don't want to wreck what I have now.
Dylan Wilson
Just get another drive and use F12 on boot.
Nathaniel Foster
Laptop. So that's a nogo on dualboot without futzing with the script, huh?
Ryder Morris
BREHS
Isaac Garcia
select the right boot drive in bios.
Josiah Harris
So when do we build a rice manager?
Bentley Cruz
You could install it to another partition, but I don't know if grub-mkconfig will detect Windows and add it.
If it doesn't, then you'll have to do some googling. If it does, then it's ok.
I might try it right now, because I have a Windows laptop that I'm getting sick of using.
Nicholas Diaz
There's also another thing: The installer sets the timeout in /boot/grub/grub.cfg to 0, so you'll have to set it to 5 again.
Lincoln Perez
What I did:
Booted liveusb Manual partitioning Resized /dev/sda4 to free 20GB Made 20GB partition at /dev/sda5 Installed to /dev/sda5 Rebooted to livecd, ran grub-install /dev/sda5 Booted back into Windows
Now I need to get Windows boot loader to boot it.
Wyatt Roberts
Did that, no result.
Alexander Torres
I've made the mistake of installing winxp after installing linux once. It wasn't but so hard to get grub up and running. Getting grub to add windows should be as simple as running update-grub.
Michael Cruz
Change to BIOS boot instead of UEFI
Brody Williams
Is it a bitch to get steam running on clover?
Aaron Hernandez
emerge steam-launcher
Jace Lopez
I ended up just putting in another usb stick and installed it to that
Jaxon Martin
Hardcoding cpuflags in make.conf sounds like a bad idea, why not emerge cpuinfo2cpuflags and append the output to make.conf?
Lincoln Evans
Those are just ./configure options as far as I know. Putting everything in just tells programs like ffmpeg to include those instruction sets. It uses detection
