Nice, i remember installing gentoo for the first time with the 2023 tutorial

Ooh last time I installed Gentoo was in the middle noughties. Nice to see it still going strong.

Oh yeah.. its still running like a champ.. I think in all my years running Linux, Gentoo has to be the one constant thing that has been on my machine. I have legit probably ran this OS half the time I started even using Linux.. hell, maybe even 75%

It has been consistently reliable for many years now. I moved to Gentoo back in 2003 after 6 years of distro hopping and I am still here. The best thing about it for me is that I can install it on anything - at home I have it running on many machines from a Raspberry Pi Zero through to a multi-CPU Xeon server. Sure, it has a steep learning curve and even today I find out new ways of doing things within Gentoo - but it's a great feeling when you know it well enough to build it how you want.

Hi LinuxTechGeek Thanks for your Video Have been unable to get gentoo installed as I got stuck after installing the firmware (generate fstab...) So I got it installed with another video without any problem Sorry to be unable to explain my unability better as I'm a newbie Hope what I say can help another one with same problem In any case I congratulate you for all the work you've done and congratulate everyone who has succeeded at this 😀🤗

Thanks for the explanatory guide, I installed Gentoo base thanks to you, now I wanted to ask you, do a second part where the graphical desktop is installed? I would also be interested because I would not want to install useless packages that take up space and I do not use them. I thank you in advance.

FAT32 made perfect sense at the time. They needed a "universally " supported filesystem and FAT32 fit the bill. And really Apple started the EFI process but AFS just isn't supported well in other Operating Systems. The best part of EFI is it becomes OS agnostic as many OS types can share the boot partition without requiring a dedicated boot loader (grub, lilo, etc...). The UEFI system can start the OS natively if configured that way. IMHO, the only real issue is how Secure Boot is implemented by Linux.

Nice work Chris. I’m going to build on laptop Thinkpad p53 which has 32G ram and 1Tb Nvme do in need to make a swap partition or could I use zram, maybe just do not need a swap of any kind. I’m going to setup Btrfs with Home and Snapshots.

@linuxtechgeek Ай бұрын

You can install it the same way you can install any other distro.. so zram, no swap should work

Have it already installed on my desktop PC. Now do configuring stage of portage

@terrydaktyllus1320 Ай бұрын

There is a huge amount of good documentation on the Gentoo web site as to how to configure Portage. A lot of good people have put in a huge amount of work to make this documentation available to all of us and nothing stops you putting in time and effort yourself to doing a bit of research, rather than just waiting for someone on here to make a video for you.

I did everything but forgot to unmount at the end still boots tho will I be fine also great video

@seedney 19 күн бұрын

all went good, no errors, except after rebooting... My virtual system went to emergency mode only... Testing other OSes and only pfsense and RHEL seems to install without issues.. weird... arch, gentoo, BSDs - goes kernel panic... I'm doing everything like in the video, except with 'i386-pc', not EFI on VM - maybe that's the problem on modern pc and libvirt (I was previously using VirtualBox without EFI without issues)?

If you are using profiles and binaries, you might as well just install Debian.

@terrydaktyllus1320 Ай бұрын

Even though I don't use Debian (only Gentoo), I understand the design mentality behind it and it's a very good distro. But comparing it to Gentoo binary implementation is a terrible analogy to make. In my home environment, I have many computer architectures running Gentoo - some 64-bit, some 32-bit, some Core-i series CPUs, some Core 2 Duo CPUs, some Pentium 4 CPUs, plus a few others including SBCs like Raspberry Pi's. For each one of those system architectures, I usually have one machine that does the updates to itself from the Gentoo source repositories and then builds binaries for the machines in the same architecture to just download and install from that binary host - this is a feature that Gentoo has had for many years, i.e. the ability to have your own binary hosts. You may or many not know that the core configuration of Gentoo Portage relies on "USE" flags and for a secondary machine to install the binaries from the binary host, the relevant USE flags that binary was compiled under need to be the same, as well as the architecture of the system - if they are not, then the secondary machine compiles the source itself. In simple terms, Gentoo binaries provide an "optional shortcut" to compiling source yourself under circumstances where the binary host and client machine are identical enough (by virtue of profile, architecture and USE flags) to allow that to happen. Debian is a binary-only distribution and therefore you only ever install the binary packages that they provide for you.

@jonnyspeed8974 Ай бұрын

You either configure it yourself and build from source (the reason for choosing Gentoo) or you don't so there are better choice of installers and system management. You can install from source on Debian or any Linux distro. It's that simple. That's for trying.

@terrydaktyllus1320 Ай бұрын

@@jonnyspeed8974 Sorry, what point do you think you've made here, other than backtracking on your original point? You can install from source on ANY distribution if you just download the source and compile it yourself - that's where package management comes in to control where binaries, libraries and files get installed so they get removed and updated properly as necessary. That's a difficult thing to control if you compile and install yourself. The fact is, you have to do a base binary installation of Debian before you have an environment to start compiling stuff on it anyway. With Gentoo, you "compile as you install". Debian is built around binary installation, Gentoo is built around source installation - so Debian supports source installation too and Gentoo supports binary installation also. So what? So you're still wrong, even if you struggle to deal with that concept. I am not here to argue with a complete stranger on the Internet anyway - so accept what I say or don't, that's up to you. Discussion closed.
