The forums are great and in general the Gentoo community just seems much more willing to point you in the right direction. Compared to arch where RTFM just boils down linking a wiki page without further guidance.

Thank you I felt very clever when I came up with it.

I’m sure you could make a “beginner” Gentoo distro but it’s really so counter to its purpose I don’t see it happening.

(something something ChromeOS)

also systemd is just assumed in 99% of Linux tutorials and questions.

with archinstall as part if the ISO now it is genuinely easier to install than most other distros.

Arch is for people who want bleeding edge and the aur. Gentoo is for people who really hate one particular thing that everything tries to use or have a system with very specific requirements.

are there any good tutorials or something for void. I’m very interested because the name is cool but haven’t found a good resource for learning.

did it go well? I have been running gentoo for a month and think I’m done distro hooping but holy hell it took me multiple attempts to properly install it.

NixOS is theoretically great but fucking hell they need better docs.

Gentoo is great. If you want that level of control over your system. But it is not a beginner distro. There are too many nebulous choices and not enough clarity.

What do you define as breaking? I ran arch and cachy and never once had a breaking issue.

Yeah if you don’t tech a kid how to do something and they don’t learn it themselves they won’t learn it. A lot of kids are way more willing to learn things than people give them credit for because no one is putting in the effort to teach them.

FOSS is great but so much if it has just absolute garbage documentation.

Its also available as an app on all android based e-readers.

I have never more strongly considered a subscription to annas archive than when that new dropped.

Maybe if people were paid more it wouldn’t be such an issue.

I’m near sighted with astigmatism. Who knows honestly. I’m sure there is some reason behind why it’s seems to bother some people and otberes can barely notice it.

I’m extremely sensitive to the screen door effect on the color e-ink screens I’m not sure that there is a reason why but some people don’t seem nearly as bothered by it as others.

honestly I have no clue why so many manufactures are pushing color e-ink right now. It’s still not as good as the first gen nook was for black and white.

My libra 2 breaking just after they were discontinued will forever be an unhappy event. I know the libra colour exists but I can not stand color e-ink screens.
