  • Gentoo is very much like an manual transmission. If you ask anybody that drives manual they will say 1 of 2 things “i like it because it gives me control” or “i use manual because i always have”

    I love gentoo as playing around and trying stuff out. My personal recommendation is use ZFS or btrfs for a file system and have subvolumes. So if you get so lost in the rabbit hole you can climb back up.

    If your philosophy is" stable and mine!" Gentoo is for you. You can build a distro, with all the packages you want and once your done if you decide to update every month and dont care a whole lot about bleeding edge. It will work really well, it you want bleeding edge, you can have portage use ustable packages with a stable system. But you really must know what your doing or you WILL BREAK STUFF.

    I ran gentoo for 6 months then went to debian, its a great learning tool for understanding how linux works under the hood. I would also recommended systemd over openrc. Its not that openrc is bad, its just alot of extra work for simple things to work.

    Gentoo to me is more a messing around on a spare computer distro, than a production computer. Not that it cant be production, but im personally very lazy when i just want to use my personal pc. 6331




  • Core one nice choice, i bought and built one 2 months ago. And its been a rocksoild printer i also got a x1 carbon off Facebook, but the x1 feels like a cheap twin compared to Core one.

    Also the machinist in me loved seeing all the machined parts as i assembled the machine.

    Those planetary gears are just so beautiful!

    Im kinda a opensource nut, so i went with a prusa instead of a bambu. Then a co-worker talked me into buying an x1

    Honestly regret buying the carbon,

    Cheap parts break all the time, and you really feel the walled garden with there ecosystem

    Im addicted to general zero hour, you can buy the cnc collection on steam and it runs fine.

    I wish EA wasn’t so shit at programming, it crashes if you minimize the window. Or has a mismatch if theres to many units on the ground.

    Theres mods to fix issues, but i cant figure out how to make it work under wine.

    EA also open sourced the code and people are working on fixing bugs
