Whats the compile times with intel celeron and 4gb of rams
It took me 6-8 hours to install. Started 12-13 ended in 19 hours.
Yes.
Gentoo is fun but I wish it had actual advantages in speed also. Something to make it worth compiling all that stuff.
I mean, it can be faster than your average distro on some scenarios. Mostly if you know your way in kernel config.
Though most of its real advantages are in the form of a lean system completely tailored to your needs.
It seems to me most of that Gentoo FUD comes from people that never even tried to install it or gave up because apparently reading a wiki is too hard for them.
Binary speed is really the least reason to do it. Whether it's worth it or not is up to the individual, but there are a lot of little reasons Gentoo is uniquely powerful.
Benefits specific to compiling:
- fine-grained control of features and dependencies with USE flags
- very easy package maintenance (writing ebuilds)
- much simpler to add your own custom local packages when you need them
- less workload on the gentoo team which is good for repository health and breadth
- control of compile flags (yes speed, but more practically hardening for secure systems)
- the same gentoo is available on way more platforms and architectures than any binary distro
0% battery lol
Yeah, battery broken, it's constantly on AC or DC idk I'm not electrician.
АС - in the outlet
DC - coming to your battery
The charger essentially alters voltage and also turns AC into DC (and provides extra resistance so you don't fry your laptop)
heck yeah, welcome fellow gentoo user!
Edit: Just in time for xfce 4.20 to become stable soon too!
Nice.
Where's the wallpaper from?
Thanks, I just searched on ddg purple anime wallpaper and found this https://wallpapersden.com/happiest-anime-girl-hd-ai-art-wallpaper/
Good job catto!, i wonder how long it took
Thanks, surpassingly, it didn't take long around 6-8 hours. I started at around 12-13 and ended at 19. I did kind of speed run installation and did as fast as possible. I first tried installing gnome or kde, but compiling was too long, so I decided xfce.
