#Gentoo, #Devuan and #Slackware are the well-known distros for that, but they're hardly the only ones.

#Python is just doing great. We're not having impossible constraints, as some projects need old #setuptools for pkg_resources, and other projects are starting to require newer setuptools for some fancy new features. And ofc after promising to release pkg_resources standalone over a month ago, setuptools upstream didn't deliver.

#Gentoo

#Gentoo If you fight with your package manager frequently and sometimes even win, Gentoo might be the right distro for you. If you compile software manually because you want options your package manager lacks (or want such software managed as a package), Gentoo might be the distro for you. 1/5

Would it be crazy to attempt to install #Gentoo via a chroot from my running Arch installation? :3c #Linux

Improving automated tests in Gentoo – The Dalmatian Life

Today I've stumbled across old screenshots from my distro hopping adventures I made 4-6 years ago and remembered when I first learned about the differences between distributions and also between Linux and BSD.

Here are two of them that I've made from two i3wm setups, one on FreeBSD and one on Gentoo.

After a long hiatus with #Gentoo decided to tinker with it again. Just because I like the ideas of flexibility and freedom to choose the init system of your #Linux distro. Compilation takes lots of time but I'm going to try using it as a thin Xen hypervisor, w/o any Desktop Environment. #NixOS is interesting and source-based too but nailed to #Systemd.
