love gentoo

I want on the r/archlinux sub Reddit recently and OH MY GOD its depressing. It's genuinely just text NO FUN STUFF ALLOWED. And I realised how grateful I should be that I found this community thanks people :)

coming from arch, after lots of hopeless attempts and like 50 billion years of compiling, i've finally installed it!

got started on this i3 rice right afterwards and it works perfectly. can't wait to daily drive gentoo!!

if you guys have any tips/helpful anecdotes please do share below :)

dotfiles here

Didn't do --quiet-build. It ate up most of my mobile data limit lol.
To be fair, it wasn't only Firefox, but that was the bulk of the text... and I had to compile Firefox twice as it crashed the first time as 32-bit x86 doesn't have enough address space to compile it with LTO.

The window manager is sxwm btw

Screenshot+Story... I've been taking my time seeing if this old Atom system can still be usable-enough to daily drive, so I decided to run browserbench speedometer 3.1 while something that depends on node.js builds its deps in the background. Might need to purge anything that relies on node...

Still working on the color scheme and light/dark swap tool, mostly based on gruvbox. Terminals and vim get dark when sway UI elements get light-hard and vice-versa. No UI gaps because that's just less room for the windows. Want to add a system load element to the swaybar, but need to figure out why ghostty occasionally uses way too much CPU while also _not_ rendering the combining digraphs from my chosen typeface.

Medium-term plan is to switch my other deskside system to Gentoo, fix my march flag, and have a Ryzen 3700X help compile for this poor old Atom.

Final browserbench speedometer score while compiling: 0.611 +/- 0.024
Whether or not that's bad, my 3700X scored 16.8 (+/-0.79) and my 5950X hit 23.5 (+/-0.79) so... consistently slow.

After that, I want to get the desktop Fluxer client building, since the popular portage overlays are binary packages that don't play nicely with this musl+hardened profile.

Can’t regenerate initramfs because of this, can install new kernel either, second issue

I was messing around with my hybrid graphics settings on my nvidia-drivers (/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia) and when i rebooted then at sddm its not displaying anything, but i can still type my password in. I updated and re emerged nvidia drivers but nothing helped.

any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance!

If you couldn't tell I love nano

Going well i think?

Hey,

So I noticed recently, that the Gentoo Wiki has been a little wonky in recent times. On some of my networks, I can't call the Wiki at all, on other networks I can visit it. But recently (or perhaps today?), the Wiki has started to not let me in at all (some error about databases or something?). Does anybody have an idea what could be going on, I know the Gentoo Infrastructure viewer says something is wrong with the Wiki, but exactly what is wrong?

she needed a project of making a place and powering it up with electricity, as we all know, Arduino needs to be programmed, I had an old Gentoo install that I had 0.1% hope of it working because of how hard Initramfs-less UKIs are when your laptop has locked-down MUXless GPUs and random vital Devices, I've gone to boot my USB to install a quick Arch (because it's so easy), I have seen that the UEFI has added a secret entry—something it only does for 100% working (EFI) OSes tvat have been installed—with the disk's name, I was in a bit of a rush but I misclicked onto it, waited a bit (was'nt able to shutdown), and it BOOTED, FULLY WORKING. Wich is something I could've NEVER EVER been able to do on my 17 trials to install gentoo, obliterating that poor SSD

Did I mention i use gentoo btw also dont ask about the kernel name that was not me
