 Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2016 4:16 pm Post subject: Is Gentoo user base Old or Young? |
 |
|
Being 20 myself and just having gotten into Gentoo yesterday (but learning alot about Linux beforehand) I'm curious to know if my generation or the 'Mllennials' is more prevalent than Generation-X. Which I doubt because of certain OS's, and Generation-X simply has more reason to use Gentoo imo due to their work or personal projects .. Not saying some teens don't have any projects that their very interested in, but I just assume their more into video games (like I was) than say making a drone.. Everyone is different though with different things motivating them so I could be wrong, in any case it would be interesting to see the results of this poll so I'll let it go for 7 days, cheers!!

Even more surprising, there is some life between 25 and 26 as well.
Too bad most of the people born in 1900 doesn't really have any available option in this poll  |

I suspect the OP was more interested in the people born after ~1990... where CPU cycles to waste on frivolous stuff like plug and play was just starting to grow...

So was my Mom! Glad to see there's hope for me. And glad to see someone that can call me "kid"!
26 is old? I've got a grandson turning 26 in May! |

Just the associated poll thread which has more of a spread of ages.
On the whole, Gentoo users tend to be in their late 20s or early 30s and up, having worked in IT for a few years, or decades.
Gentoo developers tend to get recruited whilst undergraduates, and seem to get more involved soon after graduation. |

Until this time, there are 2 young people vote. Of course, they are you and me 
Anyway, I'm 22 yo. After being illuminated, I stay in Gentoo, and I love it. |

I hear ya bro I didn't expect there to be a lot of people around my age but soon I know anyone interested in quality,security and customizeability will come over to Gentoo  That would suck though if the vast majority of millennials just stop caring about building electronics themselves altogether, cause I'm not sure who would next lol.. Anyways thanks to all I leaned so much, especially from generation x and have a lot more things to learn including 5 programming languages (c,c++,c#,sql,python) So I'm really excited about making custom firmware,embedded systems,remote systems,custom kernals and programming it all to do whatever I need! I'm not sure how realistic this is though cause I don't know how deep these topics go yet, so I may have to pick in choose  Is there any reason to use perl over python?

I think it's cute that a 20yo thinks "old" is 26 and up.
Don't sweat it, I was that way too. I'm 50 and now I consider "old" to be around 70. It's curious that our definition of what "old" means moves with respect to our own age. I wonder if I will ever be "old?" |

"I'm not as young as I used to be. But there again, I'm not as old as I'm going to be." ;)
For blokes, you know you're old when you start waking up at ungodly hours to urinate.
Lie to yourself all you want, but you're old. ;p |
