Gentoo linux, the main reason is ive tried many distros, which to alot of there credit worked pretty well for 99% of stuff. But like for example bazzite somthing broke upstream to where because of how OCI works and it layers systems.
It takes
Silverblue and adds alot of packages to become Bazzite and then my repo stripped out stuff i didnt want. But it became A NIGHTMARE when your builds fail and you cant figure out why. And its because of somthing upstream. And you cannot build/update because upstream brokey.
And like with NixOS which i still daily on my main rig, but gentoo on everything else. Is really powerful but the immutability gets in your way for some things and it takes alot of time to adapt scripts or troubleshoot.
So i ended up installing gentoo on my other computers because they do simple tasks, i dont half to worry about breakage because of snapper and stable channel (at least on the NAS)
And its alot of fun to turn a live CD into a OS that has only what you want in it.
SystemD or OpenRC, hardened toolchains or normal? And distcc and binhost are S tier
Ahh i remember the days of the school shitbook pros. That kids is why when 2020 rolled around and all my classes went to online and they wanted me to use there laptops provided. I made a disk image of the ssd and ran it all in a VM with usb passthrough.
Cant acess my webcam if there is none!
T440P + libreboot + gentoo, user here
Libre boot works great. i had to flash it to my laptop using a raspi. For almost all linux distros it works great. The only i have had problems with booting is haiku and vanilla OS orchid. The screen res borks and super small and duplicated, So i cant install Vanilla OS. and haiku at the moment doesnt support sea bios.
Other than those 2 use cases, its been perfect.
For alot of distro trying/hoping
POV your driving down the highway going 60, your car "pacman -Syu"
You used the AUR incorrectly
It replaced your drive shaft with steering wheels and your seats with turn signals.
