@Viss ran Gentoo for years.

Funny shit.

@Viss

That reminds me of my youth reinstalling Gentoo every x weeks after "tweaking" my system to oblivion. But I learned a lot about computers and os

@seism0saurus i tried the 'compile everything' oses. i got tired of them very fast

@Viss @seism0saurus what I had a decade ago that made it manageable was a small compilation farm—made from perfectly good computes people had checked out—using distcc, which allowed me to compile things like the Linux kernel in minutes

Not into Gentoo at the moment, because I have children. And I like spending time with my children more than spending time with Gentoo

@webhat @seism0saurus thats wild. you setup a compilation cluster to compile for one system?
Show threadwebhatDec 8
@Viss @seism0saurus no, using distcc I could also have the different nodes in the cluster be a cross compiler for different architectures I was currently supporting in my day job, I just leveraged what I already had to compile my other projects to do Gentoo too

@Viss Fittingly, Gentoo is that car that spends more time in the workshop than on the road while you have another car that you just need to get/from work with (Ubuntu/Fedora).

That said, I've never had a more intense Linux learning experience than with Gentoo. Mained it for years. Then university happened. gg.
