Since CloverOS won't have any major changes from now on, /cosg/ is turning into /gg/
How's driver support in clover os? I want to try it but not without my nvidia botnet drivers
it comes with all the free-alternative drivers and the proprietary ones are available to install as needed
My main complaint with cloverOS is that all the grills in the CloverOS wallpapers have such disgustingly large tits. Seriously why isn't there a single one with tastefully sized breasts? WTF
1000% this
Libre has no firmware, default has firmware
Their they're if you dig for them
sudo emerge nvidia-drivers

Can we post our Gentoo setups and info?
Yes, any Linux questions are fine too.
Good general resources for people new to Gentoo:
Then here I go.
My Gentoo setup is focused on getting away from lennartware like the plague and also being as minimal as possible while doing what I need it to do.
My USE flags and settings are the following
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more
# detailed example.
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=native"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

install gentoo
how long did it take to install gentoo the first time?
i haven't had a first time
Is gentoo even worth using or is it really a meme os
I'm seriously asking
I first used it so long ago that it had the installer and i just used that
It's a meta-distro. You can make any distro you want out of it. You can have a package.use/package.keywords that makes a binary-compatible Debian or Fedora or Arch or whatever. If there's something you don't like about Gentoo, you can just edit /etc/portage/package.use. Using Gentoo is like distro-hopping around the same distro. Also, by building everything yourself, that's one less botnet.
what do you mean?
it held your hand and you didnt do much thinking yourself?
I love my X220t
I gave it my partition and I booted into Gentoo. Then i emerged xorg-server and fluxbox and spent the rest of the day learning /etc/portage/ while using it.
What DE?
a window manager called window maker
thanks I'm retarded
>General
It's time to stop
you can't stop what's already started
Is clover os worth checking out? At least for trying out gentoo? I don't have gentoo experience, but I've used other distros
Yes
how long did it take you to finish?
also whats a good web browser, firefox and chrome too much of resource hogs
pls help. This happens when I update.
Calculating dependencies... done!
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
Segmentation fault
the crash happens when building nodejs. Doing an update with --exclude nodejs succeeds.
emerge --sync
emerge -C nodejs
>whats a good web browser
If you want to use 90% of the internet, your only choices are firefox and webkit based browsers, which are all resource hogs. Really, only chromium and firefox ESR have good compatibility. Qupzilla, Midori and Luakit all have ok compatibility, but a few sites that heavily use JS don't work properly on them. Midori and Luakit don't have good adblock either.
If you want something light on resources, your best option is netsurf. It doesn't even work on the Sup Forums catalog view though.
>using emerge -C
regardless, this is why I have that package
equery d nodejs
* These packages depend on nodejs:
www-client/chromium-62.0.3202.89 (>=net-libs/nodejs-6.9.4)
Gotta have V8 for your vegetarian browser. Just use Firefox or Waterfox.
at this point, chromium is the universal standard web browser. Considering that 90% of the modern web is written in a way that makes portability as difficulty as possible, having the universal standard browser is an asset. It's ironic that websites are supposed to be a standard portable format that runs anywhere.
I did an eix-sync and emerge stopped working entirely. Apparently the solution was to delet /usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/pyblake2.cpython-34m.so, then rebuild without the -ftree-vectorize flag. I've never seen GCC break things with optimization which weren't undefined behavior to begin with. retarded python devs.
Make sure your kernel is updated.
sudo emerge nvidia-drivers
sudo depmod -a
sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo eselect opengl set nvidia
sudo sh -c 'echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf'
Firefox is more standards compliant than Chrome
Most people use chromium, so a lot of devs probably only test on chromium. it's not like these web devs are referencing the standards when building their applications. they just write code, then test it on their browser of choice. On new youtube, Firefox 56 would only give me the video and the rest of the page was white.
Why use a browser that requires workarounds when you can just use Firefox?
Remove nodejs anyway, let it get pulled in again.
about to compile the kernel.. anyone remembers the config line that puts penguins on top of the screen at startup?
Make Gentoo Great Again
because some pages are broken with firefox, due to the incompetence of web devs, as I've previously explained.
>unmerge a thing that I'm unable to emerge
why do I even post on Sup Forums anymore?
You have nothing to lose, it's a build dependency for Chromium. You post on Sup Forums because you can't use technology on your own.
...
It beats posting on rebbit and hoping people upboat your inane comments
I installed Gentoo on computernewb.com
Is there a guide or something that actually explains what is and how to properly set up all the package.use and CFLAGS and all that shit? That's why I eventually gave up on Gentoo, I didn't know what the fuck I was doing in that regard..
...
the gentoo handbook, you retard. the place where it explains how to install it.
Holy fuck how long does clover take to install from dvd
>dvd
It's more reliable
more reliable than a Universal Serial Bus?
I fucking love gentoo
To be fair, you really can only stop those things that already started
I have seen many Sup Forumsentoomen using window maker, I'm actually interested on trying it, but what is good about it? any special feature other than old school aesthetics?
