If I can get my target to move as I want, then I’ve succeeded as a hunter.

    I said the same about ubuntu, debian, then arch. I believed arch and it’s wikis/docs were the endgame. I stayed arching through college ( thought endeavorOS was arch meme for awhile, because why would you want an easier arch install? Turns out, college professors are incorrigible to a maddening degree, and finding so many linux workarounds got me in all types of trouble I didn’t fully understand yet–better wipe and reset for sanity sake…again)

    tl;dr I thought all non-windows were jokes before I found precisely what I was looking for all along.

    EDIT: tldr itself reads like a joke, I’m just saying I thought almost all distros were a joke until I felt something better was missing–gentoo is where I’ve been for about a decade now. I’m quite worried nix or guix is the joke I will be maining in the future, but I don’t seem to need any of it’s features just yet, but who knows. I’m willing to be persuaded because of how wrong I’ve been…hell might get a comment today opens my eyes to the declarative life any minute now lol







  • I’m confused. I also have many hobbies. That’s what compile time is for–big compiles are started just before bed time. Gentoo stays out of your way and gives you more freedom. I concede that I may just be lucky at not having any useflag issues in many years. But I also learned a lot from the first few I stumbled into. It’s this quality of learning I can’t find in any other distro.

    I love all non-windows OS tho
