For the curious ones the machine is a 2001 IBM Thinkpad T22 with 20Gb of HDD, 256 Mb of RAM and an Intel Pentium 3 @ 900MHz.

Hmm you need to download some more RAM
Pentium 3? I built gentoo for pentium 3 on my i5 sandybridge for a fren.
Just make sure you install gnome for that luscious logo
Serious question, how long will it take to compile the whole thing if you had a ryzen 9 maxed out or an Intel i9 or whatevet those crazy CPUs are with all top specs PC?

So the joke doesn’t run on your build then. lol
I have a laptop with a Ryzen 4700u and gentoo with KDE compiles in a virtual machine in like 2 hours iirc
My IBM took 1h30m to compile vim… (:
Is there a particular reason why you prefer Gentoo over other distros? Can’t you run a conventional distro that doesn’t need to compile? Just curious, no judgement. I know that Marcan, the dude who reverse engineered the apple M1, runs Gentoo. Always been curious as to why some folks prefer it
I dont use gentoo, I was just messing around with it out of curiosity
Lmfao just the pictures alone are fucking hilarious
I’m sure the Gentoo crowd will refute this in a day or two when they’re finished compiling and can read it.
Edit: bro, a 2001 era Thinkpad is going to take like a month to finish building everything. You can probably cross build that system faster on your phone.
I can relate. I ran gentoo for a while on a T21. I’d use my gaming pc with a q8300 to do all the compiling for it.

Let me take this opportunity to tell you I use arch linux…lol
