which is a real-life country

no it's not

It's usually the llvm that takes forever, then Firefox, then LibreOffice.

You can actually pull binary packages in Gentoo, if you are into that, and update like any other system.

I'm talking about EU exports, and yes, you do need countries who buy your shit. Specially when the rest of the world doesn't shop as much.

I'm also not defending Trump. But I get why countries try to work with him: swapping a large business partner on the world map hurts everyone. Globalization made everyone depend on everything, and such a gigantic swap will destroy a lot of wealth all around.

And people are not ready to go hungry.

I would suggest abandoning capitalism as whole, which would solve a lot of problems right about now.

The defense is a bit more tricky, and it needs time. But the meantime sucks.

I have an 8 core CPU, but I have to admit I don't use any DE.

Updates can take several hours if I don't upgrade for a while, but PC is usable during them (you can set number of build threads).

Manual intervention is what I've said needed way more in Fedora, which left me without any video after updates, or Ubuntu which broke integrations or replaced my software.

Gentoo just... is.

There are sometimes updates that would require intervention if you do something special, nothing too difficult though, and you get a link to Wiki with working solutions.

I need to donate more money to that project.

Could not give a fuck about points, but if I'm not correct, please explain why.

Then there's BeamNG.drive

Thank you for sources.

I wonder why I'm getting downvotes, though.

Why would anyone sign a trade deal

because of money, there's no other explanation needed. No other country consumes as much as the US, and you need them to keep buying your exports.

If that isn't enough for you, the Europe relies Heavily on the US for its defense. Every country has a military base, only France (can't remember who else) has nukes, so if you want to not be invaded, you kinda have to bend a knee.

What is crazy is that it has been like this for decades, while Europe let itself be dominated by the special interests, and now it cannot unify against the hand that used to feed and protect it.

And Russia has been arming like crazy, hoping to gobble anything it can.

I have struggled with Fedora for couple of years (graphics drivers after major updates), then Ubuntu got me down a couple of times (snaps and other malice).

Zero issues with Gentoo after the initial setup. You build it, update it, and IT WORKS. Also you can easily remove parts of software you're building with USE flags. -telemetry, -x11, and you never care about it anymore.

Gentoo is an easy OS, and works like a charm.

You just have a weird way of agreeing.

Yes, and so may BYD. I have no idea what are you arguing for.

They will kill anyone else, like GoG, or any attempted contender.

But if they could, they would kill Steam in a heartbeat.

Dwarf Fortress

Dota 2 (psychological warfare simulator)

It's not a simulator, it's a parallel world.

Even big companies ran gigantic losses for years, just to undercut the competition and emerge as the only winner.

Some do it because they have other cash cows Epic store milking Fortnite), others have VC funding, like Uber.

They don't have to kill Valve to appease publishers and sign shop-exclusive deals, making the PC gaming experience worse for everyone.

Fuck Epic, provide better service or fuck off. Using money to kill competition means they will turn around as soon as they can.

Gentoo is the best, if you have a beefy CPU with enough RAM, it's not even that slow. (Yes still slower, though dnf may be on par).

But it's just the best thing for having control over your hardware and software.

USE flags are divine, I can't imagine a life without them anymore.

I suggest Gentoo.

Great documentation, systemd optional.
