Disk space is a non-issue for including unneeded features in 2024 (in fact Gentoo often takes MORE disk space since it keeps all the source code and compiled files and basically doubles the install size). Reducing your attack vector footage by disincluding features? Sure, valid. Otherwise I just don't get what Gentoo offers these days.

This is terrible advice, your shit may not compile.
And if it does, it's still badly optimized, it's moronic to copypaste the settings for another CPU and defeats the whole point of Gentoo.
>it's moronic to copypaste the settings for another CPU
What is moronic is you thinking you can copy paste from that image, you stupid homosexual. Why wouldn't you just substitute the information that is applicable to you and your system?
What noobs should be doing is reading the Gentoo wiki, not that bait pic which will lead them to copypaste commands, fail and ragequit.

If you are installing Gentoo for the first time you should go to the wiki, that pic is useless.
And if you are reinstalling then you should already know the basics and have a backup make.conf saved somewhere, so the pic is also useless.
The moron in your pic (Or is it you? is that why you are so defensive?) even forgot to set up any global USE flags and any CPU ID flags, so it's a poorly optimized install even for a Skylake CPU.

whatever nanosecond of speed improvement you get by compiling your own software from source is completely offset by the compile time. it's a meme distro and there is no point.

just install it, screenshot your neofetch, and then switch to another distro
epic clapback, except if you're using modern enough hardware that the compile time is near instant, then you REALLY don't need to compile from source and are getting no benefit from doing so
gentoo is
a) the only "real" way to run linux (i.e. a decent source-based distro)
b) extremely high effort
c) probably going to drain all your energy and you'll be back on arch before you even have the gentoo kernel configured lol
>the only "real" way to run linux >extremely high effort
stop spreading unture memes. infact portage takes away a lot of manual work that is needed to run the so called "real" linux
I'm not a windows user, I am just using Windows currently because I planned to play video games and get drunk this evening. I have so far only gotten drunk.
I even addressed the only real reason to use Gentoo and said it's fine if that's how moronic you are. It's fairly easy to harden a Gentoo install compared to some other Linux distributions.

yeah gentoo just works so you don't need any skills to use it and that's, um that's that's just le bad mmmkay???
I mean it doesn't just work on lots of hardware. My ryzen 7 system from 4 years ago was missing some comparability that was patched in by most other distros at the time when installing gen2. Saying it just w3rks is a fallacy.
Requiring a network connection to be able to side load the kernel patch on a fresh install and fresh iso to get feature parity with current OS's is a problem with the distro and its community.

does average computer user really just sit there and stare until software is installed? I update my system when I go outside or sleep.
>I update my system when I go outside or sleep
i dont even have to do that. mine updates in the background and i dont even notice when it is done because most of the times it takes less than a few minutes. the only time i have to leave it for running overnight is when theres a profile update. even for larger package updates all at once (gcc, llvm, rust, clang, firefox) it doesnt take that long.
the big boys use up all your ram while compiling, no way you don't notice unless you cripple your compile speed by lowering the jobs

The only reason you'd want to run Gentoo is to release yourself from the deranged whims of GNOME Foundation and package maintainers bribed by GNOME Foundation or otherwise filtered by Bash into accepting systemd
t. using Gentoo right now on every computer for the last 12 years and contributing to it on a weekly basis
I could probably setup dwm on artix if I wanted to, the reason I'd use gentoo is because unlike other Black person distros, Gentoo just works.
Uselessly tedious
And before anyone comes up with arch: arch is a badly designed distro with castrated kernel and lack of packages.
>lack of packages
the only reason anyone uses arch is for the AUR (aka more packages)
which is beyond moronic because gentoo overlays is everything AUR wishes it could be, and some more
Uninstall Gentoo.
>tips?
>-march=skylake
>-j5
This is terrible advice, your shit may not compile.
And if it does, it's still badly optimized, it's moronic to copypaste the settings for another CPU and defeats the whole point of Gentoo.
>it's moronic to copypaste the settings for another CPU
What is moronic is you thinking you can copy paste from that image, you stupid homosexual. Why wouldn't you just substitute the information that is applicable to you and your system?
What noobs should be doing is reading the Gentoo wiki, not that bait pic which will lead them to copypaste commands, fail and ragequit.
Do you understand the point now, moron?
Any tutorial that just lists a bunch of commands without explaining what said commands do is a terrible tutorial.
BTW, the moronic zoomer tripgay agrees with you, that should make you realize you are in the wrong side here.
I'm in my late 30s.
I disable names, trips, and pass status using CSS, so who cares who you all are. Only your words matter. That said, it isn't a fricking tutorial, dipshit. If you want a tutorial you fricking go to the handbook or google ``how to install GNU+Gentoo Linux'' and the first fricking result, dipshit, if the Gentoo Wiki Handbook.
Yes you need to go to the wiki regardless. The is no point in that picture and you are just proving it. It's not useful, just potentially misleading.
>The is no point in that picture and you are just proving it.
The only thing being proved is your ignorance.
No, the only thing being proven is that you are a fricking moron with no counterargument.
If you are installing Gentoo for the first time you should go to the wiki, that pic is useless.
And if you are reinstalling then you should already know the basics and have a backup make.conf saved somewhere, so the pic is also useless.
The moron in your pic (Or is it you? is that why you are so defensive?) even forgot to set up any global USE flags and any CPU ID flags, so it's a poorly optimized install even for a Skylake CPU.
moron.

and a rope is already over your neck
>opinions?
whatever nanosecond of speed improvement you get by compiling your own software from source is completely offset by the compile time. it's a meme distro and there is no point.
>tips?
just install it, screenshot your neofetch, and then switch to another distro
>poorgay posted it for the 123456478745464th time about how long it takes to compile on his troonybooted troonpad he found in a trashcan
epic clapback, except if you're using modern enough hardware that the compile time is near instant, then you REALLY don't need to compile from source and are getting no benefit from doing so
gentoo is
a) the only "real" way to run linux (i.e. a decent source-based distro)
b) extremely high effort
c) probably going to drain all your energy and you'll be back on arch before you even have the gentoo kernel configured lol
configuring gentoo kernel took me 5 minutes
>the only "real" way to run linux
>extremely high effort
stop spreading unture memes. infact portage takes away a lot of manual work that is needed to run the so called "real" linux
yes, but it's still more effort than a binary distro. of course, the binary distro cannot be bent to your will like gentoo can
yeah must be real effort to step away from your computer, zoom zoom
I'm not a windows user, I am just using Windows currently because I planned to play video games and get drunk this evening. I have so far only gotten drunk.
I even addressed the only real reason to use Gentoo and said it's fine if that's how moronic you are. It's fairly easy to harden a Gentoo install compared to some other Linux distributions.
I do not have an axe wound as I am not a transvestite. I am a simple male. I am not very sexual and am not interested in sex, but if I was going to have sex I would like it to be with a woman using my penis.
>I am not a windows user, I just use windows.
yeah and you aren't a troony, you just castrated yourself because you did or something.
I can tell you really value your time by continuing this moronic conversation and making arguments where there are none.
watching mentally ill men drive themselves to suicide on their own is best use of my time I could possibly have on this earth
Why would I kill myself? Here's my reasoning on why I wouldn't:
If I live, there's always a chance of having good feels.
If I die there is zero chance of having good feels.
Easy choice to not kill self.
I just want to say OS MASTER !JORDAN./os is based. and you are all huge homosexuals and gay and fake and larpers
cope and seethe gentards
the fact that a 3rd worlder hates gentoo just proves that I'm right
because I said so
what's the usecase of gentoo again?
>insert ebussy.jpeg here
You will understand when you're white, which might not happen in your lifetime.
Well maybe stop posting then because you're too braindead to comprehend what makes modern CPU's fast in the first place, and why your toddler distro inhibits all of it down to 2000's levels.
please expound, mister "time is so valuable" Black person
sorry my time isn't worthless, ask alexa about it or something

install kde-9999 and tell me it isn't a pain in the ass compared to a distro like arch with kde-unstable

okay ahmed
>kde-9999
at this point I can only assume this is bait
yes gentoo is so good that everyone uses it, china built their distro on top of gentoo, google built their distro on top of gentoo, Israel built their distro on top of gentoo... And that makes you seethe because?
fake and gay
every serious project builds their stuff on top of red hat or fedora software
the NSA and CIA uses red hat
even north korea's red star os is built on top of fedora
gentard is irrelevant
This OS MASTER !JORDAN./os dude is a really sad individual ngl.
my top is to go to fedoraproject.org
then download the latest iso of fedora workstation
then nuke your hard drive and install it
then go get a life since your computer just werks now
I comprehend, but no I do not know architecture-specific optimizations because I'm not a programmer. I failed out of computer science in college after becoming an alcoholic actually mostly because of the assembly course. I do understand flags for features CPUs support and that is how gcc decides which optimizations to apply. I am not a moron
Teaches you almost no relevant skills to using any other distro besides it. Should be seen just as macos.
>Teaches you almost no relevant skills to using any other distro
yeah gentoo just works so you don't need any skills to use it and that's, um that's that's just le bad mmmkay???
I mean it doesn't just work on lots of hardware. My ryzen 7 system from 4 years ago was missing some comparability that was patched in by most other distros at the time when installing gen2. Saying it just w3rks is a fallacy.
seems like not my problem
Requiring a network connection to be able to side load the kernel patch on a fresh install and fresh iso to get feature parity with current OS's is a problem with the distro and its community.
poor you, if only you could afford a $5 ethernet cable
I leave my computer on 24/7 because my time isn't worthless enough to spend 5 seconds typing shutdown command or 5 seconds waiting for my system to boot.

last time my internet went out I had bigger problems, like replacing my roof because your mom farted over my house and that was enough to rip it off

thankfully not, as it left my vicinity at mach 7, along with my shingles

poorgay Thinkpad troony spotted
what you need to understand is gentoo-kernel-bin can easily be used for fast setup and everything else including making your own kernel can be done after. you do not have to project yoyr insecurities on me nobody here is laughing at you. it's okay
my machine is fast so is every setup
>your own kernel
I use gentoo-kernel with 3 small changes
so I'm a poorgay you only can afford one fast machine. and know what you want in your kernel for that specific machine? got it. keep slaying lad
>configuring your kernel
I literally use gentoo-kernel with 3 small changes, not sure if you seen it last time I sent the message.
and i wrote a widespread ez way to get started and got slack for using kernel-bin not sure if you seen it last time i sent the message
yes must be a poorgay thing to use -bin on gentoo
it's okay if you're only able to afford one computer. nobody is calling you loser for it lad
your Thinkpad collection isn't what I consider to be real computers, anon, computers are meant to compute things, and preferably very fast
it's okay i never called you a joke and i don't think you should feel like being a clown is your identity. i know deep down there's more to you
tell us more about your identity of being poor
don't worry i know you're cool and awesome. and no matter what people tell you. your apple smartwatch is cool and useful and so are you! and if people tell you your new iphone is a waste of money just call them poor cuz your awesome and defined by money. (in doubt of troony so just in case) slay queen.
I own a mechanical watch thoughie
nobody asked. you don't have to keep trying to define who you are. (oh i got fast puta for gayming) me oh i got (mech watch cuz i hart worker) it's okay not to project your insecurities. you still don't know what computer i have. your insecurities just straight away went to poor so you could amend the money you wasted on fast pewtar. but I'm just here to say i don't think you wasted money.
didn't read, stay on topic of you being too poor to afford a real computer that doesn't take hours to perform a basic task
something tells me you read it all and your instinct is to go back to your basic defensive way of writing while saying lalala i can't hear you. so just know this. it's okay not to be a school clown all the time, you are loved.
>something tells me
and it isn't me so I didn't read the rest as I am not interested in conversations you have with your mirror
sure thing lad 😉
Way behind the meta, use arch if you wanna be an average mainstream contrarian or use NixOS if you wanna be an early adopter contrarian.
too bad I just want my system to actually work so I will have to stick to gentoo
