@bronze i've installed it already before. The issue at hand is, how to get an iso with the 6.12 kernel. Asus laptops got a fix where the power profiles are correctly applied now (no one fixed this in like 6 years of this being a thing lmao)
@hazlin@bronze I might end up back on it, but I did say that on summer break I'd install gentoo. Give it a proper chance without any work loads from uni.
@bronze@hazlin I seem to truly like women or people that look like women. I'd much rather be honest than not, and well, I know it's not a fad or anything like that. Still, I'd like to get with a girl since that can be long-lasting
@bronze I essentially wanna experiment with the compilation optimizations, which means -O2 + -march=native everywhere. If stuff I've read online is true, then I can get lower power usage when on battery and a nice performance uplift. I wanna get the most out of my laptops!
@mischievoustomato same deal as usual, I just installed it and it did what I needed it to do, which was no systemd by default and a very clean KDE install. I also like how you can customize it (make.conf and use flags). Oh, and this is just a personal thing, but since gentoo is a meta distribution you can fit it just about anywhere gcc/clang can compile to. I've installed it on old ultrasparc II sun workstations and tiny little chinky risc-v boards. Its very straightforward once you figure out what you're actually doing with it.
For (you) specifically: - Binary packages (repo already set up with the latest stage3 tarballs) - Binary kernel (gentoo-kernel-bin) so you dont have to play around with customizing your kernel, which is the hardest part of installing gentoo imo
@mischievoustomato thats pretty much the same setup I have, O2 and march=native. I've never bothered to benchmark since im more concerned with the customization aspect (init choice, compiler choice, even libc choice though musl is ass on anything other than headless).
@mischievoustomato@romin idk, its not really that big of a concern to me as I don't use systemd anymore like the systemd visionaries can come up with a new "feature" and im just like cool the only people affected are systemd people, not me
