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

So much for '#SystemD is not a monolith' guilt tripping. It's modular in theory alone. #Flatpak is the next critical software to introduce a hard dependency on systemd, after #Gnome. Those of us using #Runit, #OpenRC, #GNUShepherd etc are looking at a situation similar to #elogind.
What's common among them? A corporate #OpenSource ecosystem that only they can maintain. Meanwhile, those who question this are treated with contempt!

I just found out that #decibleLinux AKA #Gentoo Studio exists.
Apparently it's been around for a while. They recommed using #SystemRescueCD to install which is a little funky but, not surprizing in the slightest. lol
Today I spent transferring files off my old #laptop b/c I realized that it wasn't using the ancient dedicated GPU & I messed up installing the drivers like a n00b. So, now I'm going to try out some new OSes. See what I can get installed & run RAID 0.
Other contenders are:
• #AVLinuxMX, #EnlightenmentDE & #MokshaDE versions
• #LMDE which'll make a solid fallback b/c I am most familiar w/ #Debian based distros. -

California and Colorado exempted Linux distributions from the age verification in operating systems, with Linux distributions generally being free and open-source, unless the distribution contains a part that mustn't be redistributed, such as SteamOS. In the case of Colorado, the bill is now final.
Too bad the systemd developers already complied with fascism in advance before the bills were even finalized.
Will Lennart Poettering and his followers now please remove the birthDate field from systemd?
P.S.: If you reply with any variation of "You need to calm down," I will block you.
Update 2026-05-27: Lennart Poettering now blocks me. I have never interacted with him nor @ mentioned him. He must have discovered this post through the systemd hashtag or Mastodon's Explore feature, or some bootlicker did share this post with him. His account handle is pid_eins at mastodon dot social. (Don't harass or threaten him, be civil.) Did he block you too for boosting/liking? 😃 On what offense? For commenting his people needlessly implemented a polarizing feature and asking him to undo it and make amends for the damage he has done, now that the tide has changed? I would have liked not to see him as an authoritarian, but if his approach is to steamroll over the masses and push through a highly unpopular "feature", no matter what, and block everyone who speaks up, then this *is* the behavior of an authoritarian. I might be posting under the hashtags #Gentoo and #Alpine in the future as I migrate to a Linux distribution without systemd.

So #codex and #copilot both decided they don't want to initialize inside my #gentoo #wsl today (in #vscode ), but are totally happy to do so in the #ubuntu instance.
WTF?
It looks like an auth ("waiting for token") issue, but whatever. Might just nuke it all and reboot the workstation back to Gentoo and run it natively. I was trying hard to see if Windows was okay for daily life!

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." 🤷♂️🐧

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.
-
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.

Despite using Arch, Gentoo and a whole buncha distros out there, I'm very much a dumb idiot in person. I can't even follow simple instructions when they're relayed to me by mouth.
I swear I have my ears cleaned thoroughly every year by a real doctor but idk. There's prolly something in my hearing comprehension that's just "defective", lol.
Maybe becoming a bear decreased my hearing comprehension by 10 points, where back then it might be 77, now it's 67.
