Is that Techmoan?
Yes (his name is Matt, BTW).
Fun fact: he has no sense of smell/taste.
That’s perfect for british food. He won the lottery there…
My god. The bets you could win with people.
“Okay, so I’m going to eat this - what was in it again? Durian, sardines, kimchee, and muenster cheese salad? Let’s add some onion for crunch and I’m in.”
Sorry, everytime I see the gentoo logo, I see this:
Who’s that pokemon!?!
From Subnautica?
… Subnautica has pokemon?
That’s an optimistic timeframe if you want to use kde and firefox.
Why does this image have a picture of Techmoan on it? I’m sure he’d love to know he’s become a meme posterboy
Aha I did a double take for the same reason. Not just techmoan but a really old photo of him too.
Love him but Tech Tangents would be more appropriate here lol. That dude loves wasting time.
oh lol. so I installed Gentoo in 2007 or so on an AMD K6. I set the architecture to 686. Cause it’s a K6 right?
build failed after a day of compiling. tried again and the build failed again. finally I read the docs and there’s an innocuous like saying all K6s are 586.
What a waste. switched to Debian after some 3y of Gentoo. switched to arch after 10y of Debian. been on arch 6y now…
“I use arch, btw” classic
in my defense, Gentoo was harder to install than arch…
To be expected, difficulty of Arch installation was always overblown, and Gentoo doesn’t have an installer either, but you need to handle stage tarballs while in Arch, you just used pacman
honestly idk why people say the arch install is hard. it takes 30mins max. instructions are fantastic.
A K6 is just a fast Pentium I, it’s not a Pentium II equivalent.
I installed Gentoo 2004.3 under the watchful eye of a Gentoo developer. (Gentoo did come in handy because I was using amd64 Opterons before most binary distributions had 64-bit packages.) It also took me about 3 years to get tired of rebuilding
world“continuously”. I similarly switch to Debian on 2007-11 and I’m writing this from that installation, just migrated across several generations of hardware.honestly I loved Debian stable. unfortunately I got new hardware, and Debian stable didn’t support it. I hacked by on a combination of testing and backports for a bit. but it finally got too much and I made the switch…
Yeah, I run a mixed (unsupported) system from time to time for hw support, but testing requires a lot for admin time than stable does, so I can certainly see that moving to something more malleable than stable. Arguably that’s what I’m doing while my system is mixed, since it’s not (supported) Debian.
I’m guessing this guy is still performing the demonstration tutorial that he started in 1999
What is gentoo?
A Hannah Montana Linux wannabe.
How to install gentoo in only 3 weeks
Damn, I’m not sure I have the stamina for 3 weeks of that.
I can do an evening
