More specifically, Portage. I know use flags and “optimization” are all the hype, but really, would the average user even see a benefit from customizing all their use flags? Especially a benefit that compensates for the constant compilation?...
Annoy is completely the wrong term. You’re getting to control over what is to be built and what’s not, and since softwares are compiled and optimised according to my hardware, they are lighter and faster with less attack surface.
That may sound cumbersome for a novice to setup the portage configuration but in return it is really worth the time, and it is usually one time, unless you plan to add or remove features. But once you’re satisfied with your configuration, you don’t have to look back at it.
I found YouTubers complaining about going through hour long upgrade on the daily bases very misleading. Only a few core packages can take that long, which are upgraded on a quarterly bases.
Wait did you seriously called it a hype? Before switching to Gentoo, I was using Arch, softwares have better support of eachother and if feature isn’t working you can always talk with the dev how to resolve it. They might even look into modifying the ebuilds to make them compatible.
FYI, I never came across any breakage and I’ve been using Gentoo for about an year now.
Climate is fucked, animals continue to go extinct even more, our money will be worth nothing the coming years… What motivation do I even have to care to keep going? The world is ran and basically owned by corrupt rich people, there’s poverty, war, etc. It makes me sick to my stomach the way to world is. So I ask, why bother...
Can the desktop version of lemmy.world have a ‘hide’ function and an ‘open in new window’ function? I’d like to not see specific posts (that I’ve already seen) without blocking people or channels.
…and if some post had an intent to bring up some critical thinking but firesback, leading the whole group of community spamming arrogant comments on your other post?

Is Gentoo more-or-less pointless for the average Linux user?

Choice on Linux is a JOKE. Here's why. (onion.tube)
Linux users brag about all the choice they have, but most of those choices are just flat out bad. This might anger old fogies.
