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.

Gentoo and me:
— Would you like to generate initramfs image with Dracut?
— Yes, sure.
— Ok, you will need to compile ruby from sources.
— What? Is Dracut written in Ruby?
— No, but it uses Ruby's asciidoctor to generate man pages. See: <https://bugs.gentoo.org/970670>.

#Linux #Gentoo

970670 – sys-kernel/dracut should install manpages without depending on dev-ruby/asciidoctor

I try not to obtrude my opinions about systemd, NixOS or ruby, which you may think. I do have opinions but I'm not experienced enough with these tools.

Instead I want to say that I would like to keep my software stack lite and highly configurable/flexible.

I try to pitch facts and reasons explaining my choices, not my immature and uncorroborated opinions. Maybe I also slightly promote the tools I love.

Think up what is missing responsibly.
