Gentoo is fun and a nice way to learn more about computers. Their wiki and their community was really good when I was into it, I’m sure it still is. But compiling everything from scratch is quite demanding of your CPU and your time, so it’s not really something that you run as your daily driver for long.
I legit spent the afternoon the other day installing Linux on my first non-Raspberry Pi machine since 2007. It is a 13 year old laptop with NVidia GPUs (2). It went perfectly smoothly and Linux sees both GPUs. I tried Megabonk on it and it runs at 60FPS maxed out. I encrypted the drive. Bless you, Pop!_OS
I’m in this post and I like it.
Thoughts on Gentoo over something like Fedora? (Or whatever you’re using)
I run Gentoo.
It’s made my fundamentals stronger.
It allows me to run the minimal number of codepaths.
Every now and then it makes me happy. Sometimes proud of myself. All because I solved some problem that was helped by the mindset Gentoo had set up.
This is the exact way I feel about Gnu Guix_SD
