>>449 Here's a cool wallpaper from april fools day

>>450 heres one last desktop That I really like

I want to learn how to set up Gentoo one day. Currently on Linux Mint.

>>453 Linux mint is comfy! Gentoo isnt too hard just follow the instructions on the wiki or a YouTube video. It just takes a while because you have to install packages from source which is cpu intense

>>454 Yes, it's comfy. I just want to be able to do more things in depth on my main PC with Gentoo in the future. I could move Linux Mint to one of my thinkpad laptops.

>>451 Please share your wallpaper... I love owls!

>>458 Yes here you go anon

The only thing I hate is the slow emerge times , but it's because I have a shitty laptop Surprisingly this is the most stable I've felt using a linux distro

You guys just made me interested in gentoo again. I used it for a couple years back when i was a noob and exploring. It was a bit difficult to set up then , over 10hrs of compilation. LOL this time it'll be much easier

i love gentoo and i used it for years, but i got tired of having to compile everything, takes too damn long. i use debian now.

>>507 we need more of this

Recently got an autismo blast from my brain, so I need to make a mini-rant on it. Accordingly to this stinky piece of shit https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000093216/graphics/processor-graphics.html GVT-g is supported on up to Rocket Lake. Factually, only up to gen 9 https://github.com/intel/gvt-linux/issues/190 Newer GPUs require SR-IOV, but it is not mainlined and you literally need to be retard to use some third party shit kernel. AMD do not have any consumer grade solutions either, there seem to be some cards that support SR-IOV, but they are enterprise grade and there isn't any documentation anyway, not that you need it of course since you can't afford to buy the card in the first place NVidia is a huge L.M.A.O and I don't take it seriously anymore. On the other hand, 9th gen intel CPUs are from 2018 which makes then 7 years old. Not bad perhaps, buy my CPU is from 2016 so I hardly give a fuck about a two years' gain No, this is not really a problem for me since I won't be able to afford new hardware in many years to come but it still irritates me no end how everything only ever goes downhill. True, maybe some years later we'll all die it won't be relevant anymore at all, the main solution seems to be full PCI passthrough already People bitch about how virtualization is so cool and usable, there are even a few qubes retards around (or maybe just one), who seem to be autistically obsessed with compartmentalization whatever advantage that shit gives them But the facts are such that consumer grade virtualization does not exist. There's VMWare but let's be serious I'm not gonna install rootkit to sexually stimulate my compulsions There are no state of the art open source solutions. In fact, the further hardware advances, the less usable it becomes, the fewer the feautres I don't even mention this new AI schizophrenia with CPUs tuned for AI training, my ass what a fucking jew tier scam I can't believe the shit actually exists and sells. Without proper GPU virtualization, using virtual machines for regular tasks is simply not viable. If you need a separate GPU, you're going to have a much smoother experience buying a second machine instead. So modern virtual machines are literally a crude barely usable workaround for poorfags Poor candy ass needs windowses to do their whatever school/college/midwit-job-that-does't-pay related shit is required of them? They'll just have to suffer through it mans from higher social classes can afford hardware, so they hardly give a fuck I don't mean to demean anyone or to complain or to even say they're not right, it's just so annoying. It constantly nags me that mans reserve all the good things for themselves alone. I'll try to meditate more and want less things, but until then, you'll have to make peace with this rant's existence

Usually yeah, I accidentally nuked my Gentoo install a month or so ago so I'm running a half assed arch install and I'm too lazy to return to Gentoo for now.

>>1386 >accidentally nuked hikarin...

>>1387 I secure erased the wrong drive....

>>1388 Lovely

Been a Gentoo user since 2006-ish, right around when I was graduating HS. First Gentoo box was a hand-me-down Gateway PC with a 500mhz Katami PIII and a Voodoo3 GPU. It was such a POS PC. Current computer is the fast fetch on the small screen. The other one is my home server, which is my old computer. Yes I am a furry. Yes I will "yiff in hell". Small screen is my WinMax 2 2023's display, upper monitor is a 2560x1080p curved viotek, lower monitor is a 2560x1080p curved acer. There is a 4th monitor, that is an old panasonic CRT TV, but it isn't hooked up right now. Image spoiler'd because it is technically NSFW, but in my opinion my wallpapers are artistically tasteful.

>>1391 >Yes I am a furry hikarin no hard feelings but I feel absolutely no pity for you

>>1389 I have returned to Gentoo hikarin.

>>1443 subarashi

yeah it good. I DESPERATELY need to find a web browser I like, maybe ladybird will be it !! also the 9950x is amazing, I have an arctic 360 aio and I have been mining xmr (no i dont proffit, just do it for love of the game.) ever since this cpu came out and I've never had a single issue. 100% load 24/7 between compiling and mining the lowest it gets usage wise is when I play games "so like never lol" and its never left 80c-85c. I might delid it for the meme I PAID FOR THE WHOLE COMPUTER IMMA USE THE WHOLE COMPUTER DAMN IT RAAAAAAAAAAH !!!!

>>1447 I hope I can get a 9950x soon, only for gentoo lol.

>>1447 librewolf?

>>1454 Why the -Werror flags? Typically the programs that actually need them, already have them, and programs that simply can't work with them for some reason have a "-fno...".

>>1458 Not that hikarin but in the LTO part of the wiki on Gentoo it recommends you do that. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LTO#GCC_Systems

>>1454 I think PORTAGE_SCHEDULING_POLICY="idle" is recommended over PORTAGE_NICENESS=10 btw.

-systemd -selinux -wayland FEATURES="buildpkg"

>>1459 interesting -Werror=strict-aliasing is known to falsely trigger though. Then again, if it does and you end up using package.env to use a non-LTO make.conf, it isn't like it is the worlds biggest loss.

Anyone else stuck between python3.12 and 3.13? It's like the transition was premature. I also had a problem with the last two gentoo-kernel-bins being unable to install and the latest nvidia-drivers not working at all, so I'm just in a two month old state and not upgrading for now. I hope I can fix these problems because I don't feel like installing another distro.

>>1510 I updated around 2 weeks ago IIRC and still could specify pyhton12 as default. USE flag either python single target or sth like that.

^ https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Python here hikarin read this

>>1513 I followed these steps just like it was written in the NEWS item but half of my python packages can't or couldn't upgrade to 3.13 from 3.12 so I have both targets. I saw a lot of people with the same problem in the forums. If it's a me problem and not a gentoo problem then I'll need to try again soon.

>>1514 I meant you to stick with python 12. You don't need python 13 hikarin stop encouraging people who break userspace on every whim

>>1515 I wish I had stuck with 12 and never attempted the upgrade in the first place. Also, qt causes circular dependency hell every other week. Anyone else have this problem and any tips on resolving it so it doesn't happen.

>>1518 >Also, qt causes circular dependency hell every other week yes i had a meltdown because of this shit. I just used -O flag to compile core packages from dev-qt/ and then everything vent fine. Gentoo people bitch and while that this is a "wrong" and "dangerous" approach but I give so little shit about it like I can't describe

It's been 2 hours and I still can't update world because of slot conflicts with qt6 and other packages. I didn't believe it at first, but portage is really implemented so poorly just to gatekeep ubuntu users

>>1454 Can I have your dwm

>>1525 are you gay

I'm beginning to get really angry, I can't upgrade my system. It just breaks. Now on boost. Why? Trying to rebuild preserve-libs now, there are some packages there. If this doesn't fix shit I'll just manually rebuild everything in the world file and fuck this shit. Really this is so stupid

>>1528 Any updates (lol)? I'm curious if you've found a good "safe" solution? Last time I just forced unmerged and remerged qt to get it to update. I mentioned that in #gentoo and they told me I was doing it wrong but it worked.

>>1532 Nope. Broke my system completely, don't know what to do yet. I'll get home in evening and see further what I can do. Meanwhile I put it to re-merge world manually on by-package basis (`bash while read -r` loop). I do it so that it updates and re-links as many packages as possible. After that I'll try to update world again. If it breaks I'll update all packages manually one by one. If even that doesn't work, I'll post here again. >#gentoo People there are all smart and stuff, but the fact is that just running `emaint sync` breaks the system without any meaningful way to fix it. I heard elsewhere that the only truly working solution is to not update at all.

Removed all Qt6 related entries from /var/db/pkg/{dev-qt,dev-python}. emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse @world still fails, so instead I am trying to do emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse gui-apps/qt6ct This still fails, but step by step I remove offending packages from /var/db/pkg and see what happens Right now I am on 4th iteration...yeey. Good thing I keep ccache of the most retarded packages. Hopefully this is going to be the first step towards unfucking my system. I'll report back tomorrow

>>449 Bro just like install Ubuntu

>>1539 Gentoo is easier to maintain

Fucking qtwebengine not even ccache helps with recompilation probably some USE flag changed though I don't begin to imagine which, since I *didn't* change anything

>>1545 Do you suspect a profile change? Is there a way to see a diff upon sync? That would be useful. If the desktop profile changes I need to know.

>>1541 Honestly i think nix is but ok go off

>>1547 I suspect gay non binary devs. People who take pleasure in writing code instead of designing software have ruined everything

Sorry anon it's hopeless. I though I'd be able to fix it, but apparently I don't know even where to begin. I guess I'll just skip updates altogether, maybe they'll fix it in half a year or so.

>>1549 >I suspect gay non binary devsangry. People who take pleasure in writing code instead of designing software have ruined everythingangry like temp0ralworld, or endless count of board engines & silent chans around ?

Hmm kept updating files from /var/lib/portage/world using emerge --update --deep --newuse and then trying to update world and now suddenly it works. Gay non binary mans can't even implement a dependency tree LOL.

>ungoogled chromium i didn't update ebuilds why the fuck does this shit not pick up ccache????? do compiler flags change just cuz i got some dep libs updates? holy fucking shit i hate modern web

>>1556 Fucking Jesus it's still compiling

skill issues the thread

>>1561 non binary devs will never fix them though

>1562 YOU are only one having issues here portage WERKS on my machine

and your rise is ghey

>>1563 gay non binary dev thinks that HIS machine is relevant

>>1563 Have you completed the migration to py3.13? have you recently updated qt with zero issues? how's it done?

>>1568 >Have you completed the migration to py3.13? Yes I have. I still have some programs dependent on 3.12 though. emerge -pv --depclean '=dev-lang/python-3.12.10' '=dev-lang/python-3.11.13' Calculating dependencies... done! dev-lang/python-3.12.10 pulled in by: app-cdr/cdemu-3.2.5-r1 requires dev-lang/python:3.12 www-client/firefox-128.12.0 requires dev-lang/python:3.12[ncurses,sqlite,ssl] www-client/icecat-128.12.0 requires dev-lang/python:3.12[ncurses,sqlite,ssl] >>> Calculating removal order... >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: dev-lang/python selected: 3.11.13 protected: none omitted: 3.12.10 3.13.3 All selected packages: =dev-lang/python-3.11.13 >have you recently updated qt with zero issues?

Ok I tried emerge -pvu @installed and turns out I could update 200 pkg, including qt >Conflict: 23 blocks (all satisfied) But you should update your world set, not @installed anyway.

all the qt packages are blocking each other.
