Gentoo user since forever.
The most consistent and long time solid distro, IMHO.
I use it everywhere I can, from servers to laptops. It’s so flexible and predictable that I simply love it.
Nowadays emerging stuff is so fast that I wonder why bother with binary packages at all. Once, when compiling Firefox took DAYS well… But in today’s hardware, meh.
;)
I use darktable, it’s open source and good for my needs, but indeed bit rough.
Yes you can, but it’s not very strong. So when jumping into water, you might want to force close with fingers to prevent pressured water to get into the nose even if you keep it closed with your internal muscles.
I almost broke my timpanus due to a very high jump without using the fingers
Actually protestants in italy ate the most progressive form of Christianity we have. The Valesian church for example accept same sex marriage, has had female priests since forever and has a very strong position on church-state separation and non proselytizing.
You just don’t know much about protestants and think they are all the same like Trump or Bolsonaro.
What?
You got your history wrong mate, quite wrong.
Protestant where born as far as 13th century and had not much to do with capitalism.
Maybe you refer to Martin Luther and his attack on the mercimony on the Catholic church, that had nothing to do with capitalism but with spiritualism.
Ottimo! Si é una bella lingua, sulla cultura non mi espirmo, non posso essere considerato proprio un italiano tipico.
I strongly disagree.
There are Protestants that are quite different. That is mostly protestants in the USA, which I doubt they are Christians at all.
Grande!
Italian here…
Yes I do.
Everybody loves him, super nice person, always available, always has the right answer.
I see he is a manipulative person with emotional issues that keeps everything always compressed inside.

Of course I always build every package from source because that’s how Gentoo works.
Well, you get well optimized software for your specific cpu and architecture that often will not run on a different CPU. At the cost of lots of time.
For big ones like Firefox or rust I always choose the prebuilt ones… But everything else is from sources.
Also, another great advantage is to customize package features to your likings, like disable an audio backend or enable another, and such.
The failure of globalization?
Where it was supposed to lift third world countries from poverty and instead created bigger wealth gaps?
Font know really. It’s like that in many places… India, Mexico, South Africa just a few that I have seen.
It’s mostly failure of the state.
Navidrome + tempo (or any other subsonic clients)…
And spotizerr to fetch from deezer/Spotify once. Or Slskd for a nice soulseek experience
I think your autocorrect went a bit too far, I cannot understand what you wrote.
Using a different distro feels awkward. I am so used to how stuff is organized in Gentoo :) but it’s still Linux, so no, it’s only minor differences.
(Spcially, i hate when using a SystemD based distro, because i am not used to it and it honestly feels cumbersome compared to OpenRC. Gentoo also has SystemD support, it fully support it, but i never found the need for it, so i never switched, and never got familiar with it. My fault)
Last weekend i setup a laptop from deleting the windows partition to full LXQT desktop in 4 hours. The laptop is quite fast, and i skipped all ocmpiler hogs like firefox (choosed firefox-bin) and rust (choosed rust-bin). Later on, i also installed a full plasma+kde environment in some more 10 hours (all compile time in background, while using the laptop on LXQT).
The biggest downside of Gentoo is being so niche, i always fear that some day it will be abandoned due to too few people maintaining it. I had this fear for the last 10 years, and never happened, so.
There are no real downsides to Gentoo IMHO, except becoming too expert with Linux :)
Really, it’s mostly understand what your are doing and editing text files. Much easier and better documentation than most other distro.
Full time user of Gentoo since 20+ years here. Oll servers, workstations, laptops and even on an android tablet once.
It’s not complicated at all, mostly just different from anything else. And truly configurable to the last bit.
Edit: it seems there aren’t may gentooers here, AMA :)
Very much yes!
Leftist doesn’t mean communist or socialist.
And also doesn’t mean a specific economic model, more a set of principles that guide your reasoning and behaviour (hopefully)
Well, now try Gentoo!
It will take a few days of compiling… ;)
Install Linux and turn that into a server with bonus UPS
