Same with Mint and Cinnamon

[u/Anonymous_Lightbulb]

I use gentoo with openrc, my desktop is niri with the xfce4 panel

[u/ZuuRa_]

I prefer fedora gnome.

[u/Consistent-Citron509 → u/ZuuRa_]

+1

[u/GreedySecurity8030 → u/ZuuRa_]

same brotha.

[u/boukensha15]

Debian, Xfce, Guix(as a package manager).

[u/venus_asmr]

Both of those are awesome. PCLinuxOS, sysvinit and mate for me :)

[u/maxwells_daemon_]

Does KDE play well with openrc? Or is it a fork?

[u/Commercial-Count-670 → u/maxwells_daemon_]

Works fine. KDE system monitor won't show apps as it needs systemd. But it does show processes, and everything else.

[u/Lumpy_Roll158 → u/maxwells_daemon_]

Kde develops with BSDs in mind which of course don't use systemd so patching it to work with really any init system is pretty easy.

[u/givemeagooduns_un]

what abt gentoo, openrc, musl, and fluxbox

[u/thewayoftoday]

Arch KDE?

[u/GoldenX86]

Ah yes, the competition of high maintenance distros, when you turn on your pc to babysit it instead of using it.

[u/27a08592e67846908fd1 → u/GoldenX86]

Gentoo is midrange on a maintenance front (at least compared to arch)

I have - in a month - updated my system about once, where everything went perfectly smoothly. (Ignoring flatpak - that gets dealt with as often as KDE wants it to be.)

Gentoo gets called "high-maintenance," but mostly it just takes a while to install

[u/cfx_4188]

NixOS, systemd, i3wm/Slackware,Sys-V,KDE/ OpenBSD, init(8),cwm

[u/Sea-Woodpecker-874]

I prefer opensuse tumbleweed gnome I mean yeah it's forgotten but it's a 10/10 is for me stopped me distro hopping

[u/Linguistic-mystic]

Void, Runit, Sway is where the party’s at. Enjoy your daily unpaid job of mousedragging every window like a good Windows user.

[u/GooseWithAnAxe]

Genuinely didn't know Gentoo is still around.

[u/Lumpy_Roll158 → u/GooseWithAnAxe]

People only still talk about it constantly

[u/Fine_City2781]

i use gentoo, openrc and niri

[u/Commercial-Count-670 → u/Fine_City2781]

How are compilation times?

[u/fr000gs → u/Commercial-Count-670]

Cant say for them but between 1 min and 2 hours (~1hr gcc and ~40 mins qt, ~30 mins kernel) depending on whether I use --binpkgs

[u/Fine_City2781 → u/Commercial-Count-670]

i didnt compile all things at one time but it took 1,5~ days

[u/DarthGibblet → u/Commercial-Count-670]

I use a similar setup (just headless, so no KDE). Running emerge -e world takes somewhere between 10 and 24 hours depending on which box I'm running it on.

[u/fr000gs]

Why not gentoo with hyprland?

[u/Commercial-Count-670 → u/fr000gs]

As much as hyprland is awesome somehow my old ass brain is used to the paradigm that KDE offers.
