After a long hiatus (mostly for time and work reasons) I'm back on Gentoo and my gentoo-fu is a bit rusty. I'll be doing a series of posts in order to regain my familiarity with Gentoo, starting with this one:
How to get the best of Darktable with Gentoo USE flags?
I don't want to blindly enable all available USE flags, I just want a smooth usability without interruptions. For example, last time I used Darktable in Gentoo, I ended with some red boxes here and there in the main interface -- something that didn't happen with other distributions. While now it works pretty well, I'd like to anticipate to any possible pitfall I could have ahead of me. (I should have stated by now that, as an photography enthusiast and a IT architect focused on *NIX, I prefer Darktable to Lightroom.)
Enough chit-chat, straight to the point:
First of all, I've got a working Plasma desktop with some minor annoyances (more on that later) on a Core I5 generic ultrabook.
