Let's be honest, real nerds use Gentoo

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 70 points 5 months ago

Better start compiling now so its ready by October

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

I started my Gentoo compile in 2008. It should be ready by next October.

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago

I did it on sparc way back in the day, took a solid week. Once was enough

Old news, gentoo has binary packages as an option

[-] Waffelson@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago

What's the point of using Gentoo if you don't compile?

[-] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

You don't have to choose between binary and source, you can get some pre-compiled packages that you don't care about, but e.g. run a custom kernel at the same time.

a good starter distro but ideally you should make your own from scratch so you know what's in it

[-] xavier_berthiaume@jlai.lu 19 points 5 months ago

Honestly you're not a real one until you've written your own kernel entirely

You guys would have deployed your own internet protocol if this conversation continued

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 months ago

Writing your own internet protocol is a good idea but you shouldn't stop there. You need to run your own internet cables too to make sure it does what you want and isn't controlled by someone else.

[-] sunflower_name@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

And develop your own plastic to cover the cables?

[-] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

And what are you going to cover with it if you haven’t even started mining your copper and inventing a machine to make your fiber optics.

Wait, maybe we need to start with the electromagnetic spectrum in general.

[-] sunflower_name@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Oh my god😭

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Linux has a good starter kernel but ideally you should

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 months ago

(I wish I was that advanced, maybe some day.)

[-] rikudou 7 points 5 months ago

Weird way to spell NixOS.

Not really any harder then Arch if you know about how linux systems work and didn't just copy paste or script your entire arch installation.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
