Of course a Gentoo dev will say that doing things the hard way is good, but it's still immensely refreshing to hear from others in the FOSS space that LLMs take away the best part of being involved in any of this.

Gentoo Repository does not have all the dependencies that I need for Woodland, looks like Sway is the one I will install. As Gentoo has great documentation, explains all the potential issues and list solutions.
I can't wait for the upcoming days off to install Gentoo. I even found that the reason why I failed my first vanilla Arch install in the Gentoo instructions. Wrong command for Wireless connection. ROFL Like, I feel like a dummy.

As far as the WM goes, I've likely found the one for me if I can verify that Gentoo has all the dependencies in their Repository!
It's called Woodland and it is a Distro neutral Stacking Window Wayland powered WM. It's pretty minimal, which is what I wanted anyway. Shame about being hosted on Github, eh, hopefully it runs fine after I go through the install process. I did find all the terminals that this WM would seek out in the Gentoo Repository, so there is hope.
-
I think that I also want to install the base image for Gentoo...Instead of using the Live. As instead of a traditional DE, I might tackle a WM because this is a pure AMD Laptop. The documentation for installing Wayfire, Sway, Niri, and other WM is pretty good.
This is giving me some real inspiration for ways to torture myself and learn something at the same time. 💖 :yell:
As I am sure to learn a lot from this little adventure. Especially if I turn it into a year challenge, designed to make me actually fix any issues I have. 👨💻 Strangely, feeling my oats about this (surely nothing could go wrong LMAO).
I'm about to have a WILD FEW DAYS OFF SOON.
Can't wait, or could I wait quite a bit. ROFL
-
My hope is that I can accomplish some specific goals on Gentoo Linux that are essential to surviving on more advanced distros. Mainly building software packages and compiling it from source that don't natively exist in the Gentoo repository, installing basic software and tools.
Set up the package manager with custom compiler flags unique to my targeted hardware, init system, Wayland, etc. I'm going to make a more comprehensive list later.
-
I think, that I will experiment with installing Gentoo Linux on my laptop on my days off, its either the base image or the Live Image that I will use. Its going to be rather interesting as I've read the Gentoo Handbook quite a bit. Perhaps not enough...I will have my desktop available for reading while installing.

3:30 am and I am installing gentoo on a laptop....
Idk what is wrong with me :3My husband @dulcis and our friend @hellimelli are in the living room and finished watching "dominion"
I think this is silly :3
But tbh I prefer binary based distros like alpine

Why is it so hard to decide....
Our Desktop is gonna either run
- Gentoo
- Void Linux
- Alpine
- LFS
Why?
It should run sth without SystemD that is atleast mildly stable (not breaking bcs there are to many updates at once (looking at you arch))Some thoughts anyone?

how does gentoo not have msitools

Any other #gentoolinux users wait for their compile and then get all happy like a kid who just made cookies or finished printing coloring pages or something when it's done? I'm just so excited to try out what I'm trying out!

İki gündür bazı bazı cihazlara gentoo kurmaya çalışıyorum. öğretici bir çalışma olacak gibi, mesela bir sonraki işlemcimi i7 ya da ryzen 7 ailesinden yapacak cinsten eğitici. Zen falan da olabilir tabi bilgisayar şu anda dere kurutan bir tamagotchiye dönüştü

CW: god what a fucking text wall. tl;dr most linux distros suck, help me choose one.
arch uses systemd (unstable, can store your age, buggy pile of shit thats hard to customise) and artix is supporting a project run by fascists (xlibre)
you know what that means, distroswap! what should i swap to. good candidates below in poll.
my computer (late 2012 mac mini) is low-power (3rd gen i7 @ 3.3ghz, 16gb ram, 256gb ssd) and all i do it browse fedi (akkoma), rip dvds (makemkv), and sometimes make music using furnace tracker
i’m automatically ruling out anything that’s not rolling-release (out of date), using systemd, is made and run by a large corporation, has a history of telemetry, (has a core portion that) isn’t (F)(L)OSS, or supporting/being a project made by fascists. i already know openrc, but i can learn new init systems. anything that requires flatpak is automatically gone as well. something being hard to install isnt that bad to me, ive installed arch manually three separate times and converted an arch installation to an artix installation.
before you suggest ageless linux, that is based on debian, which both uses systemd and is not rolling-release.
also i should add this isnt to help me choose one but to help me with the order in which i try them all

Gentoo Takes the First Step to Ditch Microsoft Copilot-Infested GitHub
Gentoo is betting on Codeberg as the replacement.

Installing #GentooLinux on microSD card same like installing #RaspberryPiOS which the iso file as livegui on usb.

Gentoo Linux: because who doesn't love spending New Year's Eve compiling their entire OS from scratch? 🎉🔧 Let's celebrate 2026 by pretending Gentoo is still relevant, while the rest of the world enjoys systems that just work™. 😂💻

@itsfoss I've been using dual boot of #ubuntu and #gentoolinux for a year in my #slimbook . (Sharing firefox and thunderbird profiles, nextcloud and zotero between installations)
I hadn't used gentoo since I was twenty and I was afraid :blobugh:
And now I have just removed ubuntu! Full time gentoo now :toot: -
@itsfoss its an openrc startup, so #gentoolinux or another distro packaging openrc and no systemd ;-)

#XLibre third-party packages for #GentooLinux are available for ~amd64 and ~arm64 at https://github.com/X11Libre/ports-gentoo. Actually they've been since Jun 20, but mostly as live ebuilds. Now they are versioned too. A big thank you to https://github.com/callmetango and https://github.com/stefan11111! #Gentoo

I've installed Gentoo in a VM and uh...
It's really quite something lol. I'm too used to APT that Portage kinda messes with my muscle memory. Plus it's a whole lot of waiting and messing around with flags it seems? I don't think Arch deserves the "hard to install" label when compared with Gentoo tbh.. I didn't bother compiling the dist kernel and used the bin instead cause I've not got the best computer.Probably takes a lot of time to get the hang of. :bunhdgoogly:
