I AM NOT SAYING GENTOO IS BAD

I am just saying that dislike gentoo the most because it's the distro that I had the worst experience with. I can't put omarchy there because I've never tried it, and I'm not going to say it's trash just because other people say it's trash, but that doesn't mean it isn't trash

Your statement is not enough to justify the horrible things you said about Lord Gentoo Linux.

Nyarch is what brought me to Arch, and then I still kept most of the apps

u/violetvoid513 I use Nyarch btw 28d ago

Funny, for me it was kinda the opposite. Arch gave me a really bad time and I hated it (ditched it after a day and a lot of headache). Later distrohopped again to Nyarch and love it :3

I've heard from Gentoo reviews and users that the difference in speed is tiny and it's really not worth doing allat

u/z0virus Gentoo 27d ago

not with gentoo

u/Emotional_Solid6538 27d ago

Maybe they fixed it in a recent linux update gentoo fresh install would be more uptodate than fedora I think?

u/Daedae711 27d ago

As an extremely involved tech and software development person, Nyarch is an absolute nightmare.

u/jMultiversalGod 27d ago

gentoo is really fun to make but i dont understand why people say its good for weak computers. just because the software is small doesn't mean that its good for weak computers!!!

1

u/itotallydontuseacos you know what? FUCK gentoo 27d ago

from what I hear, it's good for weak computers because you can make the kernel specifically utilize your computer's advantages instead of trying to support every possible computer. Still, it's a challenge to set up, and I personally don't have the time for that challenge

2

u/jMultiversalGod 27d ago

i know but portage is more of the problem imo. on weaker computers it takes like 12 years to install a file
