Ok I tried a gentoo setup this week. 8 hours in was able to build a kernel and get a cli on my box. But I’m failing at my attempts to get xfce or KDE or even startx to work. 😅 debating if I should keep it at this weekend or go back to my arch or simple eos.

I like emerge and I like the philosophy but gotta get a bit more knowledge on this use flag thing.

Thanks for your response.

It still takes space on the drive. It takes an icon on the start menu.

And then there’s that little devil in me that I don’t want to send feedback back to servers of what I do with my system.

Maybe I’m paranoid or maybe I just want to squeeze all the pure power (and space) I can. It’s like an old hot rod, there’s no radio; there’s no heated seats; it’s made to go fast and have fun.

Thanks

Right, built for my system.

Hmmm… thanks for the response, I like how it’s more built for your system since you compile it locally.

Thanks, I was leaning towards arch. I like it’s wiki.

😆 good point.

Does amd have better or faster support for drivers then nvidia?

Well, one could make the argument about driver support.

What’s amd have to do with graphics drivers on debian? I’m out of the loop.

Interesting, built off fedora, I’ll check it out.

Isn’t debian a bit behind on graphic drivers?

Understood, not really a fetish, more of I don’t want extra stuff that I don’t want to use or take space for no reason.

I want to use every drop of my system for performance, maybe that’s from my “old person” in me.
