  • Annoy is completely the wrong term. You’re getting to control over what is to be built and what’s not, and since softwares are compiled and optimised according to my hardware, they are lighter and faster with less attack surface.

    That may sound cumbersome for a novice to setup the portage configuration but in return it is really worth the time, and it is usually one time, unless you plan to add or remove features. But once you’re satisfied with your configuration, you don’t have to look back at it.

    I found YouTubers complaining about going through hour long upgrade on the daily bases very misleading. Only a few core packages can take that long, which are upgraded on a quarterly bases.

    Wait did you seriously called it a hype? Before switching to Gentoo, I was using Arch, softwares have better support of eachother and if feature isn’t working you can always talk with the dev how to resolve it. They might even look into modifying the ebuilds to make them compatible.

    FYI, I never came across any breakage and I’ve been using Gentoo for about an year now.















  • My experience with windows:

    • Requies a monthly reinstall just to squeeze better performance.
    • I pay for a licence and I still don’t own a copy of windows
    • unnecessary services running in background without my concent, and I had no control over them, eating up resources.

    My initial experience with Linux:

    • I need to study it to know my way around.
    • applications behave as intended and are reasonable with provided resources.
    • I initially started out with a destop environment which came with some extra software I didn’t need (subjective).
    • experience was quite stable.

    My current outlook towards Linux:

    • My system is configured and equipped with tools I only need. No bloatware.
    • Gives me a better idle temps than windows.
    • FOSS has lot of talented software which got limitless potential. Your imagination is the limit.
    • Better security and no surveillance.
    • Nvidia drivers, and its respective tech needs to be fully adopted for Linux.
