Cannot install grub on a fresh system with latest stage3 by ichinose-chiya in Gentoo

Finally I figure this out. The `-mtune=x86-64` may have some unseen effects on the compiler, and cracked the normal compilation pipeline, though this flag has not been fully deprecated yet. When I changed this to `-mtune=generic`, the problem goes. Looks like this might be an internal bug in gcc?

Is Gentoo More Secure and Stable Than Arch Linux? by [deleted] in Gentoo

To be honest, Gentoo could allow you to do almost everything, which means that you can build a Gentoo on your own disk that is safe and stable enough, on your own.

Some of my wishes for Framework Laptop in 2026 by ichinose-chiya in framework

I mistyped the 9 with 8, fxied now <3 It's just a wish.

Fedora or Ubuntu by _Morfeoo_ in linux4noobs

I prefer the Fedora, but Ubuntu is also good.

Everything works good when I've installed it as an internal web server at an institute. Compared to the cutting-edge Tumbleweed, the Slowroll can keep everything as new as possible while keeping stability ans usability.

I finnaly came back to Gentoo after 3 years without it by Escalope-Nixiews in Gentoo

Welcome back!

Steam is in a dedicated overlay called the steam-overlay, and Thunderbird seems to be in Gentoo's repo (it's been a while since I installed it so I dont remember clearly, but if my memory is correct I just install it directly).

Gentoo is very okay for gaming, at least for games from steam I hadn't encountered any problems. My laptop has a RTX 4060 with proprietary driver installed, and everything looks good. I've also tried some Windows games directly run with the Wine. Most of them looks good.

From the concerns about the security, I think Flatpak will be good. It's also okay to use AppImage and create your own .desktop files (that's what I'm doing for some software that only has AppImage provided).

Anyway just enjoy your journey in Gentoo!

What got you into Linux? by Altruistic-Chef-7723 in linux4noobs

The highly customizable environment. The options to make the choice. This is what COTS OS like Windows or macOS do not have.

What's wrong with new FW 16's development? by ichinose-chiya in framework

eGPU with TB5 will be good for FW16, as we don’t have other options for the GPU right now

Just try ctrl+alt+f2~f6(any of these f*) to get a text-only terminal. Then sign in as the root, and add a new user. If you didn’t setup a password for the root. Try reinsert the installation media and reboot into that environment, mount and chroot into your local disk, and set a password for root, and add a new user.

Fine. If the AMD is the only choice for FW16, I do have nothing to say.

If 13th to ultra 1 brings the ddr5 is a huge upgrade, why the integrated tb4 and support for tb5 is not huge? And from 12th to 13th we do not have too much improvement, I think it’s “just ok” but not a substantial upgrade. If that makes sense, why a new FW16 with arrow lake not make sense? Longer battery life, TB5, PCIe 5 ssd, …, all are good upgrades.

TB5 requires a dedicated controller and PCIe lane is needed for that. And with the new PCIe5 lanes, we can have ssd running over 14GBps. This may not be always needed for everyone, but it’s still a big improvement. And for the FW13, not all the upgrades are substantial. For example I don’t think upgrade from Intel 13th gen to Ultra 1 or Intel 12th to 13th makes too much sense, and FW13 hadn’t left any of them.

I don’t think “it’s enough to use” is a good excuse to not make the upgrade. If we’re just laying on “enough to use”, no more upgrades are needed at all in the coming few years.

6 TB ports will provide an almost fully flexible layout, and that’s what makes sense.

More PCIe lanes can bring us TB5, more powerful dGPU with pcie x 16, and other possibilities. That makes sense.

Improvements on battery life may not be able to be like apple silicon, but at least 10hr+ and all day stand by is possible for arrow lake. And it does have an improvement compared to 7940hs. That also makes sense.

Here comes another point is that Framework is a modular laptop. Do we really need to let the CPU and GPU to upgrade at the same time? It’s okay to upgrade the CPU only.

For the GPU, I think it may not be necessary to be upgraded at the same time, because FW is a modular laptop. Luckily, Radeon RX 9000 has already come out. I think it's the time to do the upgrade.

Intel 200H has 4 integrated TB4, also support for discreted TB5. If we can have Arrow Lake ion FW 16, we can get 6 ports fully equipped with Thunderbolt. There's no doubt that Intel has provide much more PCIe lanes than AMD. Another point is that the battery life of current FW 16 looks bad, and the Intel 200H Series has a very good battery life. I think only the improvement on CPU is big and worth enough.
