I think for me, it takes around 45 minutes to do a full system update when I run it. I usually run it every 3 days or so.

Ow. I didn’t use gentoo until I had good enough hardware that updates wouldn’t take 2 days to finish. I used arch or freebsd when I only had a laptop available.

13·2 years agoA coworker of mine was an computer engineer in the early 2000s, but is now a warehouse director. She told me she helped her son build a new pc but it was having heating issues. I asked about fans and she said it only had 2 intake on the front with no exhaust. Told her a local shop that has cheaply priced good fans. She said computers have changed a lot in 20 years. I helped in about a week ago with choosing storage blocks, had no clue nvme even existed.
That’s a cool wallpaper, know if there’s more for otherr countries?

I decided to get a little goofy and silly last night, and installed gentoo through script. Then I converted the entire thing into binaries, and have been building up a standard system while making it work through binaries. I’ve installed regular gentoo plenty of times, and have no need for source compilation. So this works. Maybe consider that if you’re wanting to do gentoo but don’t want to spend a whole weekend working on it. The script I used is the oddlama one, which installs the binkernel.
Really what got me to learn to use the terminal more was downloading systems without tons of gui apps. Most base systems will be like that. In general my only gui apps are a file browser, web browser, and audio tools. Debian, arch, gentoo, nix. Avoid stuff like mint or endeavour if you want to force yourself into learning the terminal. The more you use it, the better you’ll get. Using gui apps isn’t bad, sometimes it just works better for specific actions. But knowing how to use the terminal helps for when nothing else works.
