 |
|
I really like smoking good premium cigars and Gentoo reminds me of a good premium cigar.
I’ve been running Gentoo about a week so far and I’m taking my time to learn the basics.
Hopefully this weekend I’ll configure ALSA and then pipewire. I’m patient since I have links installed so it’s just a matter of me configuring this laptop to my liking. |

I like your comparison and I think Gentoo is going to be a good fit for you if you have the patience and enjoy the slower tinkering. Sometimes the cigar gets a little less sweet when you miss an undocumented kernel option for a program you really need and the 5th kernel recompile doesn't include it, but that's all part of the fun  |

Where i consider Arch quick and dirty, Gentoo really requires you to take your time, the end result being you know exactly how your system is setup and functions.
I have learned much by using gentoo even after my 10years of professional Linux experience.
I really like how i know every bit of my system and it has allowed me to get the most out of my hardware.
Am considering to run gentoo on my Servers but currently i do not have the processing capacity for that(2 Xeons that are 80% constant load)
I run alot of stuff on my server hardware. |

Have you considered compiling on another system and having your servers pull packages and updates from that? It's probably a lot of extra unnecessary setup just to use Gentoo on your servers, but it's doable. |
