  • 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.









  • 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.

    As I said, to avoid bloat, why run an os over an os? Endeavouros has its update but there’s also an arch update. I don’t need hand holding for the install and that’s one of the benefits of Endeavouros, at least that’s my understanding.




  • Thanks for your response. I like to fiddle with things. I’m a bit of a tinkerer and like too customize various parts of my os. Basically more user space stuff. How it looks, buttons, themes, and whatnot. Also able to remove/avoid apps that I don’t use. Simple, but unique.

    May I ask, why fedora for core system, but arch for distrobox?





  • Things change, the reason linux exists is from communities. I wanted to see what this community was running and get a feel from others. Also, I like experimenting and wanted to see if there’s a distro I didn’t take into account.

    It looks like arch, debian, and gentoo are the main ones I’m looking at.

    Each with pros and cons.
