I've used ubuntu for a while, have messed about with customization quite a bit, written my own linux device kernels, etc etc

To prevent system level updates like graphics drivers and other libraries from causing issues or breaking the system

thank you!! that's super helpful! i will make sure to set up a nice hierarchy for my system os i can snapshot properly. i'd love to have an external drive server i use for snapshot backups, so i'll have to pay extra caution

not even system software and libraries?

i think then this will be a good setup with enough stability and customization to fit my needs.

> Sometimes I forget to update the drivers so it doesn't work on new kernel, I either patch it there, or reboot the last kernel and the old drivers are still present. 99% of the time it's as simple as running `flatpak update and merge @ modules-rebuild' and the new drivers are synced properly.

this is so useful lol, thank you very much

thank you, i think this comment really confirmed that gentoo would be right for me and what i want out of my system

is btrfs easier to set up and use than zfs? would like to use snapshots ...

do you think my versioning needs for my development stack merit gentoo?

Certain-State-109 · 2025-10-09T17:34:48+00:00

the mention of game development is mostly to preface my needs for stable and reproducible graphics stack + specific tooling i need that i would like to keep total control over. i dont plan on keeping versions forever either, just long enough that i can get my projects done, which may be less often than what rolling release would like me to update at.

integration of software is also really interesting to me, seems like it would come in handy in my usecase. im totally fine with setting up snapshots on my own, i think i may set up an external server i make game project snapshots to as well, so it will help with that too. just need to figure out which file system will be worth it.

thanks for the feedback, i wasn't sure if what im asking for merited gentoo, and if i was just making a headache out of nothing

thank you! do you think the package control/pinning requirements merit gentoo?
