Let's be honest, real nerds use Gentoo

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 60 points 3 months ago

Better start compiling now so its ready by October

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

I started my Gentoo compile in 2008. It should be ready by next October.

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

I did it on sparc way back in the day, took a solid week. Once was enough

Old news, gentoo has binary packages as an option

[-] Waffelson@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

What's the point of using Gentoo if you don't compile?

[-] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 months ago

a good starter distro but ideally you should make your own from scratch so you know what's in it

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Linux has a good starter kernel but ideally you should

[-] xavier_berthiaume@jlai.lu 14 points 3 months ago

Honestly you're not a real one until you've written your own kernel entirely

You guys would have deployed your own internet protocol if this conversation continued

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago

Writing your own internet protocol is a good idea but you shouldn't stop there. You need to run your own internet cables too to make sure it does what you want and isn't controlled by someone else.

[-] sunflower_name@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

And develop your own plastic to cover the cables?

[-] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

And what are you going to cover with it if you haven’t even started mining your copper and inventing a machine to make your fiber optics.

Wait, maybe we need to start with the electromagnetic spectrum in general.
