  1. Why Gentoo?

    When you think of Gentoo, you tend to think of it being a difficult distribution, where you compile everything yourself.

    There’s much more to Gentoo than that. Yes, some of it comes from building from source: the flexibility. But a lot of it comes from the wider Gentoo philosophy, the philosophy that brought us all together. The idea that Gentoo is the distribution we’re making for ourselves and people who enj

  8. Gentoo's recent "vulnerabilities" read like a bad soap opera: "Copy Fail," "Dirty Frag," and "Fragnesia"—because nothing says secure like a kernel with amnesia. 😂🔑 Maybe next they'll discover "Oopsie-Daisy" and "Whoops-a-Doodle." 🤷‍♂️🐧

  9. I've finally finished pushing the latest update for #Gentoo Distribution Kernels, and requested their stabilization. This includes upstream releases 7.0.9, 6.18.32, 6.12.90 and 6.6.140; and Gentoo patch bumps 6.1.173_p1, 5.15.207_p1 and 5.10.256_p1.

    All of these contain the v5 #Fragnesia patch. And yes, while the exploit is in the wild, upstream still hasn't merged a fix to the mainline kernel, let alone all the LTS branches. Of course, the patch keeps covering more holes, but it would really be preferable to do that as a followup instead of leaving people vulnerable and forcing us to keep rebasing it.

    They also include a few reverts in 6.18 and 6.6 for broken PowerPC backports that upstream didn't apparently test. 🤷

    We're doing our best, but I'd still recommend running the latest 7.0.x kernel, or LTS 6.18.x, because upstream is far from reliable with the backports.

  10. We did it! :gentoo:
    Our Gentoo‑Booth proposal for #FrOSCon2026 has officially left the nest and is now flapping its little penguin‑wings toward the organizers.
    Now everyone please cross fingers, toes, antennas, USE‑flags... whatever you’ve got.
    If all goes well, we’ll see each other in August - live, in Farbe und mit #Portage‑Power. ;-)

  15. If it wasn't enough that we have to keep building new kernels every day and backport vulnerability fixes to older LTS branches, now we also have to deal with upstream doing random backports that are completely broken and never bothering to actually even check if they build.

  16. @tkissing Like #gentoo? 😇

    But seriously: What do you want to do that gentoo can’t or isn’t good at?

    Usually, when folks know what gentoo is, it is also the right call to use it.

  17. I've done the right thing and it's going to cause pain.

    #Gentoo Distribution Kernel configs are now hosted entirely on git.gentoo.org rather than GItHub. If you don't use Gentoo mirrors, you may be hitting 502s thanks to our LLM overlords now. If you use Gentoo mirrors, you may be hitting 404s if they hit 502s while trying to fetch from our Infra 🤷.

  18. Ugh trying to get #VSCodium to have a functioning integrated shell on #Bazzite without doing stuff to ostree seems impossible.

    Maybe immutable #Linux isn't good for me.

    Is there a #Gentoo based distro where Steam works as seamlessly?

  19. New updates from PineTab-V Gentoo

    I was able to compile and run smoothly LibreOffice and NetSurf on PineTab-V!

    These are great news! Gentoo's support for RISC-V is super magnificent!

  20. TIL (Today I Learned) that the Linux distribution Gentoo is named after a species of penguins.

    Also, the Gentoo penguin is apparently the fastest-swimming penguin.

  21. Building fresh #Gentoo SD images for two Raspberry Pi Zero 2W nodes to test Torlando Tech's #Reticulum BLE transport using BlueZ/GATT. Goal: validate stable peer transport over #BLE, then migrate the Python implementation into a C++ transport/interface layer for microReticulum while preserving the articulated BLE protocol semantics. Interesting intersection of embedded Linux, GATT, and Reticulum.
