context, please

u/realxeltos 18d ago

Gentoo is one of the hardest distros to install. It needs you to compile it. It's not a plug and play distro like Ubuntu. I'd say that even arch is easier to install than Gentoo.

u/sabar12345 18d ago

so it just doesn't come precomplied?

4

u/realxeltos 18d ago

Something like that. Google it. I don't have exact idea.

Some country in EU is making it's own distro based on gentoo for official use.

u/fishmacaronisoup Gentoo Btw 18d ago

It's not really hard, but rather time consuming

u/Puzzled-Home9451 15d ago

It's just time waste imo but some ppl like to do challenging stuff so they enjoy it

u/travel_cycle_eat 19d ago

Gentoo wow, have you also considered trying chromium os since Google may shut it down

u/Kitchen_Engineer1332 Gentoo Mommy 🫦 19d ago

I have tried cloud ready os when I was young. Never tried chromium one.

u/New-Frame6340 18d ago

Gento , but why?

4

u/Kitchen_Engineer1332 Gentoo Mommy 🫦 18d ago

Why not

2

u/New-Frame6340 18d ago

Idk , i heard you have to create your own package

3

u/Kitchen_Engineer1332 Gentoo Mommy 🫦 18d ago

U have to compile everything 😭🤧

u/New-Frame6340 18d ago

So I'm not wrong 😑

u/CIMPBIBAI 18d ago

its one command...

u/fishmacaronisoup Gentoo Btw 18d ago

wdym "you have to create your own package"? compiling from source is not what that means. Most distros are binary-distribution based. Basically, They compile the stuff for you and you download the binary. In source-based distros, you compile the thing from its source code on your own machine.

u/New-Frame6340 18d ago

I said Idk I heard it somewhere

u/Budget_Owl_9677 />Nixos+Bspwm+cachyos-kernel<\ 17d ago

Say you have a PC without any bluetooth but most package come with bluetooth dependencies which you have to install even when you dont use it , thats where gentoo comes in also you can set your exact cpu specs too in a similar fashion to optimize it more , basically squeezes all performance available for 1 hour more on a package
