As a former long-time Gentoo user, I use Arch 😉
Arch users will never compare against the gods that use Gentoo…
But even the Gentoo gods will never compare against the madness of the Lovecraftian Ancient Ones that use LFS.
LFS eldritch horror here, I just daily Gentoo. Maintaining LFS is just exhausting and kinda unrealistic for any long term use. It’s not really meant as a daily driver but more of a learning thing. But man, it’s freaking awesome to see a system you built from scratch boot up and function. I highly recommend it, and even if you do/when you fail, at the minimum you learn to appreciate all the hard work that goes into a distribution.
don’t say their name so nonchalantly, they are always listening in the shadows
@Monologue @kitsuneofinari I use arch btw
ITT: people sleeping on the power of portage and think Gentoo is just for optimized software.
What’s the appeal of purposely using a user unfriendly system? I’m a Linux beginner and I use easy to use distros. Just curious as to why torture yourself?
I wouldn’t say they are user unfriendly, just not fit for beginners. There are definite advantages to those distros for advanced users, as they offer way more customisation than beginner friendly distros.
I don’t get arch,but I have a life and much prefure ubuntu over Amy linux distro
I smell a little bitch here…
Don’t you have some compiling to wait for?
Waiting for compilation is the most satisfying thing in universe. It’s almost orgasmic.
I use Arch btw.
