Gentoo is the way.
When I grow up I hope to use gentoo. I’ve always wanted to be one of the cool Linux kids. I got my first gentoo disk back in 2003 and I was never able to figure out what to do.
Why? Is it super stable?
It’s a cult.
i use arch btw
I use LFS btw
@Starkon @lennee I use GNU Hurd btw
In the immortal words of Linus Torvalds:
I don’t believe you.
Ok I’ll bite. Do you actually?
Yes but not on a daily basis. It was worth the learning experience and the fun. Arch is however my daily driver and the most reliable OS out there imo
It’s a bootstrapped compiler and that’s all you get. It’s a form of self flagellation
It’s also a bunch of scripts that automate the operation of said compiler.
Gentoo is not for people who like to compile software; it’s for people who like to watch as software is compiled.
It’s a rolling release, but more stable than arch. It has a lot of features for customizing your software (useflags, custom patches, etc.) and is a great way to learn a lot about Linux.
Only if you the person using it is obsessive compulsive about your software
