     @dev_ric this does not make me want to switch to a Linux desktop

     I'm jumping from KDE 5.27 to 6.2, Python 3.10 to 3.12, new graphic drivers, new input drivers, and a bunch of other things likely to break. Also need to upgrade from a Portage 17.1 profile to a 23.0 split usr profile, apparently. And I should probably think about replacing my 5.15 kernel with a 6.6 at some point...

     I guess this is me downing tools for Christmas then?

     Off to a good start. 😆

     I have to mount my boot partition before I can pull a world update? This feels dangerous...

     @dev_ric funnily enough I ran Gentoo on a home server for years in the early 00’s mostly because it was a low power C3 CPU that was missing some x86 instructions so you had to build everything specifically for it

     I definitely wouldn’t do that today, I’m too aware of my own mortality 😉

     @sinbad oh, Gentoo isn't for people who want their O/S to just work! 😆

     It's for extreme configurability, performance, and minimalisation. Also for people who want to understand how every part of their system works... The philosophy has always been "Gentoo doesn't have an installer, YOU'RE the installer". And you're given a ~120 page guide on getting it to the point you can load up a graphical environment...

     For normal people there are about 300 other distributions 👍

     @sinbad haha, even I wouldn't run Gentoo on servers. They need keeping patched up for security, and hiccup free. I'm a Redhat/CentOS/Rocky/Alma guy for servers.

     I do love my Gentoo desktops though 😁

     @dev_ric it was just a little home server that wasn’t exposed to the Internet
