    I did Gentoo in my 20s when all I could afford was garbage computers. I enjoyed the experience — whether it did or not, it made me feel like I was getting the most out of whatever I had, and I learned SO much about Linux.

      I wanted to try Gentoo to learn more about Linux and compiling.

      But that fucking distro just works, and compiling is so automatic I’m done in one command!

      I feel betrayed, but also very satisfied by the distro.

      Fuck binary blobs.

      Sadly, it’s Systemd or Openrc only.

      Edit: though there was a s6 custom repo i think, last i looked?
