I’m a little bit underwhelmed, I thought that based off the fact so many people seem to make using this distro their personality I expected… well, more I guess?
Once the basic stuff is set-up, like wifi, a few basic packages, a desktop environment/window manager, and a bit of desktop environment and terminal customisation, then that’s it. Nothing special, just a Linux distribution with less default programs and occasionally having to look up how to install a hardware driver or something if you need to use bluetooth for the first time or something like that.
Am I missing something? How can I make using Arch Linux my personality when once it’s set up it’s just like any other computer?
What exactly is it that people obsess over? The desktop environment and terminal customisation? Setting up NetworkManager with nmcli? Using Vim to edit a .conf file?
Gentoo isn’t cool anymore. You should switch to funtoo, so you can have fun too!
How do you like it? I’ve been trying to get people’s opinions on it but haven’t found any users yet.
Funtoo is dead after this month

Ope 💀
It is a lot of fun! Right now I’m back to arch, since I don’t have a lot of time, but funtoo does right those older decisions in gentoo which do not make sense in these day and age. And the updates are fast, really fast, since they use git!
The downside is the docs aren’t as good. Not even close. The wiki for gentoo is a great source of information.
Actually looks like Funtoo got discontinued a week ago lol talk about timing
I blame capitalism
Usually a safe bet
Absolutely!
Isn’t it deprecated?
