Wtf is all this webm spam
I have a Haswell i7-4790K running gentoo and I switched to the new 17 profile and reemerged world which needed to rebuild about 200 packages and it compiled everything including plasma desktop profile in a couple hours. "muh compile time" is just a meme.
I only watched the first few seconds of the first webm and it looked like a tutorial booting up into a kubuntu livecd and starting to download stage3 so its presumably a series of video tutorials on how to install gentoo.
gentoo installation in webm
Give me 1 reason why I should switch from Arch to Gentoo.
4.14.7 has been marked stable
I run Gentoo myself and how the fuck can someone be retarded to the point they need to watch a video to understand how to install it?
Are you even able to build Firefox nightly before they release a new version?
?
>I run Gentoo myself

top kek
Then why do I show it not unstable keyworded?
OpenRC or Systemd for a desktop computer? Why?
there's none.
they'll all praise openRC because installing gentoo with systemd is more complicated and they can't find a tutorial with screenshots
packages.gentoo.org is notoriously buggy and slow. It frequently stops updating for hours, or even days
I was thinking to install it with Systemd and musl libc, but I need feedbacks... don't really know if its the right choice
Can any bash lords help me with this ebuild?

It emerges and installs but to an empty directory (/opt/protege)
>How long does it take to build something like firefox, chromium or libreoffice? Is it even worth the time?
about this long
% time emerge libreoffice

Use "ebuild" to run the compilestage or later and check how the directories in the sandbox end up looking.
Thanks, I've been trying to follow the guides on the wiki but I'm a total novice. I'm not actually compiling this from source, the tar.gz is just a compressed binary.
Alpine vs gentoo
Go
Gentoo
I just noticed that lxqt is marked stable (last time I checked a long time ago it was still unstable ~arch). I just emerged it and first impression it works pretty well. Its obviously much much more lightweight than plasma. Hopefully first impression rings true and its remains good without running into any problems.
[ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.14.7:4.14.7::gentoo [4.12.12:4.12.12::gentoo] USE="-build -experimental -symlink" 98,611 KiB
Should I? I'm kinda inexperienced with kernels and always end fucking something up
What the release number in profiles means? Isn't it rolling release?
Would you recommend mint or gentoo for a semi newb like me?
If you want to learn Gentoo
Portage
everthing
Any overlays that are particularly worth checking out?
Anything you need from gpo.zugaina.org
The profile changes when there's a major change in the build system. In this case, it was the new C++ and PIE. It gives you a chance be aware and to update your system.
17.0 will be around until there's some other major change.
13.0 and then 17.0? Where's 14, 15 and 16?
I guess I will go for 17.0 with unstable packages. As my first installation I will go with systemd+glibc instead of systemd+musl since there is no a prebuilt profile for that. By the way, is it hard to make a profile by yourself?
There didn't need to be any new profiles between 2013 and 2017.
The next profile will probably be 21 or something and involve some new GCC 10 feature idk
haha
+1
Running Gentoo + systemd myself. Loving it! I don't get the hate.
How long would it take me to install gentoo on x220 ? I have some experience with debian and I compiled my own kernel before, I'm just worried about long compiling times on a mobile system. I'd be doing this only for fun, I'm bored.
over 6,000,000 milliseconds
They're fixing that I think
