1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Gentoo comes with OpenRC as default so I roll with it. And it's simple and it works.

    Plus the idea of having to randomly wait for some obscure stuff to block for a minute the boot/shutdown is not my thing.

    The cool thing with Gentoo is that you can just decide one day to switch to systemd and it's about as easy as changing your profile and updating your system (and maybe recompiling your kernel)

    You have to compile everything though, even from a stage 2 installation. I haven't attempted one for like 15 years, but I imagine it's still not quick.

    Dafuq?

    That goes against everything I know about Gentoo....

    They are also shipping x86-64 v3 packages. Something that on arch you still rely on 3rd party repos.

    [–] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

    or you can use cachyos. running V3 packages on vanilla arch makes it more prone to breakage.
