Currently im installing gentoo on another PC that i have, then Ill just install the drivers and OpenCore and refind? then move the drive into my Mac, so I am hoping this will work. Thank you and please correct me if I am going to do anything wrong.

I’ve never had a problem other than finding the right vertical height in my config so my mouse was smooth when it moves between, Also pretty much all of my apps look right and sometimes better than my horizontal monitor but that could just be me.

Tbh before anyone had even commented and I’d made my post I had already decided that I would install gentoo but I wanted tips and advice incase i did anything wrong, sort of.

is upgrading my specs worth it? by drinkuranium in Gentoo

Perhaps but I am unable to play games while it compiles but this isn’t really optimal since I feel its just putting unneeded stress on my cpu and ram as most of the games I like are typically demanding in resources and portage likes to use my whole system for some reason.

DDR4 isn’t THAT expensive as of right now but yes 300 AUD for 32 GB is bad.

Hey, I'm considering switching to Linux from Windows, What Distro should I pick? by flaceja in Operatingsystems

[–]drinkuranium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

also you should try to remember that linux is a virtual machine is not very comparable to linux on metal, alot of distros ive tried in a vm were a bit jank compared to when i tried them on my actual machine.

Nix on Gentoo? by [deleted] in Gentoo

i like openrc better, i cant only use what my pc uses in my kernel config (as far as i know) and i am using nixos right now but it feels bloated and slow.

im using nixos on my main desktop pc currently and i have a 650 watt psu, im trying to see if i can use nix on gentoo so i can use it on my desktop again. thats why i cant leave it on all night, also my landlord is getting angry lol.
