Bloatness is just an excuse to avoid all the problems of installing a new program in Gentoo.
Please, tell me they don’t have to compile everything.
They don’t have to. They GET to.

Compiling Firefox on my old ThinkPad took 9 hours
Gentoo has optional binary packages now.
We don’t. We can decide between binary packages and compiling.
Obsidian in this context is as fictional as vibranium.
Yeah obsidian is 5-5.5 on the moh’s scale. It’s softer than quartz. What makes it special is how sharp it can get, not how hard it is. Also, it’s just really cool
Anything that isn’t the bootloader is just bloat
Who says obsidian is hard?
Minecraft kids who don’t know Mohs scale
The meme template lol
Also this dude (the video is very useless and expected)
Tbf one of these things is fictional: Gentoo users
Oh hell naw.
I am a proud and vocal Gentoo user.
And you won’t make me to back to binary packages. Fuck them.
USE flags are the best thing ever, reminding us why software should be Open.
Gentoo 4ever.
portage is just the best package manager
Couple days ago my Arch (btw) tried to update gcc by building from source. I started the update, went and made myself dinner, ate it, cleaned up the dishes, and it was still building when I returned to my PC. How do people live with Gentoo I will never understand.
I remember having a Gentoo install, seeing the wiki for how to install steam, and just dual booted with Bazzite.
I’ll try again another time
Had 0 issues with Steam on Gentoo.
Does flatpak steam have some problems? I don’t use it so I don’t know.
Heh. I wish my work were closer to hardware level, so that playing with compilation actually made some sense. If there is a kind soul here, please do tell me: does Gentoo look like it will still be around in some 10-15 years? I would hate to be too late to hop on the bus
Yay! :) Thank you ❤️
If you ever need any help, don’t hesitate to DM.
Though Gentoo is not as hard as people think.
Diamond = easily shatter
Obsidian = fragile
Vibranium = fiction
Really?
Lol dumbass. Everyone knows unobtanium is the strongest.
How hard is it to install gentoo anyway, and how would someone install anything on it. I’ve literally never used gentoo and the only distros i’ve used are linux mint, debian, fedora (not my cup of tea), arch (archinstall) and EndeavourOS (current) so i’m curious about the world of gentoo
I’ve never had high end machines but I don’t remember installing being a chore on Gentoo even 20 years ago. Just
emerge openoffice
And let it do its thing in the background
