Only if you show me the aftermath

On a more serious note, though, while I do 100% that the "Thin Blue Line" is pure idiocy, I don't think that actually going out of your way to harass them (even if it is warranted) is in any way effective in convincing them otherwise and having them see reason. Same reasoning as with why many young boys these days fall down the alt-right rabbit hole and become a Tater Tot.

You can even mix and match it H/SELinux with musl (and Clang, if you're up for some masochism and performance boost), though it does require patching sometimes. From my experience, you can find patches from Alpine's Aports and that should fix it ~90% of the time, but sometimes you'd need to write your own. Another tip in case you're interested in trying musl on Gentoo is that there's a compilation flag for large file support documented in Gentoo Wiki's musl development page which fixes compilation failures caused by calls to functions with names ending in 64 (e.g. fseek64). This is yet another massive source of compilation failure in musl. Lastly, you should mask musl versions ≥ 1.2.4 if you want to have any semblance of a * good time with it.

I found that, at the cost of a few months of absolute suffering, using Gentoo as my first distro fasttracked my Linux learning.

Isn't Russia being criticised for similar authoritarian practices despite them being white (at least the people in power, anyways)?

Okay, fair point, the argument I made wasn't exactly a good one. I do still think that hating authoritarianism isn't exactly xenophobia.

I mean as someone of Chinese descent who is repulsed by the Chinese government's actions despite them looking like me, I think my existence alone disproves your argument. I don't doubt that there are some people who do think like that, but I do doubt that they make up anywhere near a majority.

The government, not the people, but yeah I agree

I know right, imagine putting in so much effort just to strip some people of their most basic and fundamental human rights and thinking you're the victim.

private companies can't be trusted

and water is wet.

I find ZFS rollbacks to be easier but setting up ZFS can be a pain (other than in Gentoo and NixOS from my experience), so take your pick

It is the lesser of two evils imo. Not saying that AMD is any good, their alternatives are just that bad.

AMD still has better Linux support for now, which is about 90% of the reason I went with them for now.

Why not Brave at least?

As someone who've tried Gentoo on systemd and OpenRC, as well as Void with runit, I don't see any reason to use OpenRC over systemd. I never noticed any performance difference, and it has far less features. As for runit, if half the boot time for half the features is what you need, then go for it.

I feel like common knowledge of all the shit big tech companies have pulled throughout their history is sufficient justification for giving massive fines.

Wish GDPR had the same kind of teeth.

True, that's part of the reason I switched to Gentoo

That depends for me. Is it open source? If so, check the source code, you can see for yourself whether that third party is doing anything shady? Anything closed source like WhatsApp, however, and I 100% agree with you.

Maybe it would be a good idea to collaborate with neighbours or friends or such, economies of scale and whatnot.
