Yep, I reached my hard limit of expertise, while a good mastodon buddy @wendigo was able to assist with enabling a USE Flag. In order to build this kernel there are so many USE Flags to alter, I am getting dizzy because the overwhelm is hitting me like a ton of bricks.

I recognize when I am outplayed, and this is the point in time when I must concede. I will be better prepared, perhaps if I actually try this again in the distant future.

The horrors did indeed find me and I suffered beautifully for my hubris.

Respectfully, I bow to Gentoo this day. As it opened my eyes to the basics.

Made me realize that I am not ready for this level of complexity. I'll install EnvdeavorOS and wade in my Arch Kiddie pool for the time being. ROFL

@Steve12L Fedora was my daily driver, but I noticed a jump in speed when switching to Garuda from Fedora. My machines boot in ⅔ the time, and everything feels snappier.

I have #CachyOS on two of my computers, and it's been great as well, but Garuda has more built-in maintenance tools and isn't as picky about the Wi-Fi adapter in my laptops. I also had a good experience with #EndeavourOS.
