Let's be honest, real nerds use Gentoo

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 60 points 1 year ago

Better start compiling now so its ready by October

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Linux has a good starter kernel but ideally you should

[-] xavier_berthiaume@jlai.lu 14 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

And develop your own plastic to cover the cables?

[-] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 1 year 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.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
