Manifest 3

which is a real-life country

no it’s not

It’s usually the llvm that takes forever, then Firefox, then LibreOffice.

You can actually pull binary packages in Gentoo, if you are into that, and update like any other system.

I have an 8 core CPU, but I have to admit I don’t use any DE.

Updates can take several hours if I don’t upgrade for a while, but PC is usable during them (you can set number of build threads).

Manual intervention is what I’ve said needed way more in Fedora, which left me without any video after updates, or Ubuntu which broke integrations or replaced my software.

Gentoo just… is.

There are sometimes updates that would require intervention if you do something special, nothing too difficult though, and you get a link to Wiki with working solutions.

I need to donate more money to that project.

I have struggled with Fedora for couple of years (graphics drivers after major updates), then Ubuntu got me down a couple of times (snaps and other malice).

Zero issues with Gentoo after the initial setup. You build it, update it, and IT WORKS. Also you can easily remove parts of software you’re building with USE flags. -telemetry, -x11, and you never care about it anymore.

Gentoo is an easy OS, and works like a charm.

You just have a weird way of agreeing.

Yes, and so may BYD. I have no idea what are you arguing for.

It’s not a simulator, it’s a parallel world.

Even big companies ran gigantic losses for years, just to undercut the competition and emerge as the only winner.

Some do it because they have other cash cows Epic store milking Fortnite), others have VC funding, like Uber.

The reason is as bland and unpoetic as you might imagine:

companies put billions into this trend, and they want their money back.

Do not believe the lies about free market and companies losing money: they just pass their losses onto their customers. Don’t like it? Fuck off, and pay more for everything anyway.

Gentoo is the best, if you have a beefy CPU with enough RAM, it’s not even that slow. (Yes still slower, though dnf may be on par).

But it’s just the best thing for having control over your hardware and software.

USE flags are divine, I can’t imagine a life without them anymore.

I suggest Gentoo.

Great documentation, systemd optional.

I mean they will disable the free version.

They will monetize those chatbots.

And I want to see how many will pull out their wallet when it happens.

And I worry it will be almost every hardcore user, for the fear of being left out and performing worse than anyone else.

The trap is set, it has sprung, and now we wait will the owner comes for the feast.

The problem is the owners don’t pay their fair share, nothing else.

Productivity has risen to cover everything.

I wish I could hug you.

Bravo.

Gentoo stage 3 here.

They discouraged earlier stages in the wiki :(

“Understanding” as much as “”“reasoning”“” still sound like mentalist tricks, trying to amthropomorphize the LLM.

Grouping words together based on its usage is far from intelligent.
