This week I revisited my #Nerdy side and installed #Gentoo on one of my beefiest #Laptop

So far it's been a #Hoot and I can feel my 20 year old inside scream with joy!

Haven't felt this alive since ca 2000!

#Linux hat ein RIESIGES Problem

Linux hat ein Problem. Und nein, es ist nicht die Technik. Es ist etwas, das gleichzeitig die größte Stärke und die größte Schwäche von Linux ist. In diesem Video rede ich darüber, warum die #Distro-Vielfalt Anfänger überfordert, warum es überhaupt so viele #Linux-Versionen gibt, und warum die Community es gut meint, aber es Umsteigern manchmal unnötig schwer macht...

#Manjaro #Linux organisational structure might be about to change - to becoming a community run #Distro, via a non-commercial "registered association" (directly translated German Legalese of "e.V."). The Manjaro company is supposed to keep operating.

I've chosen Manjaro, after hopping from Ubuntu, via KDEneon, to CachyOS. I'm enjoying the "curated rolling" release schedule - seems to be solid, while shipping current-enough code.

We'll see what happens next. 😅
