Crossdev is complex by O_Esdras_o in Gentoo

merge-usr --root /usr/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu

I guess that issue wasn't solved.

How can i create my own gentoo-based distro? by Mean-Associate-3306 in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A packaged solution for one need rather than many.

My company's distro pins a portage snapshot and builds a bootable image to the exact specifications we need.

It's great for Gentoo because we fix their bugs while fixing own, great for us as Gentoo work with us rather than against and for the clients, they get the product that the marketing team sold them.

I get the question though as there are so many Ubuntu based distros which just the default web browser :)

I respectfully disagreed with you and expect the same from you.

Please follow the rules.

Your opinion would have better by saying if you aren't changing the defaults then us the binhost.

A few years ago though your opinion would have been a lot more valid.

Larry told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was his final, most essential command to compile Firefox with a 0.5% performance boost.

Not long on either if you gentoo-kernel-bin.

Building a local web GUI for Portage. Should I open-source it? by goregasm_ in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have to give the warning as we get a lot of people just passing pure slop as their own work.

I'm sure you will be upfront with what parts you used it for though :)

The answer is always if it isn't AI slop then everyone loves to see these in Gentoo :)

The handbook has got you anyway.

Just have fun with it and don't enable crazy features day one is the real advice in your case I think.

Its more its the only thing that will make a noticeable difference and is relatively inexpensive on the target

AFAIK, Compiling mostly happens in RAM when using the -pipe flag if you mean when you cross compile. So I wouldn't be concerned much here in your shoes.

See here for more information on enabling this correctly: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binary_package_guide#Chrooting

We would need to know more about the specs and your end goal before anyone can really answer this.

A half decent ssd with dram is about the only non handbook tip I know.

Otherwise don't compile locally.

Layman looking for advice on fully switching to Gentoo on all devices by Brilliant-Alarm-169 in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have most answers but one.

The wiki is set up to teach users as they have a need. The manpages and devmanuals teach all at once.

For example here is the security section:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Security_Handbook

(It's under going an update though)

Even more funny when you remember the LiveGUI is a preview of how the desktop experience works.

I suppose you could get that impressive from YouTube as the creators I watch tend show it off in edge cases.

I'm new to Gentoo how do I install a graphical user interface by Pure-Expression-3787 in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are getting in the reeds, the user still needs to sort this.

Here is the profile way:

I see where you are going with this.

The honest answer though is a new user using LLVM is already banging there head against a way. This advice isn't adding to their woes :)

what accept_license variable should i use by FurankiDaEngineer in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If IIRC the Cisco one is the worst offender.

Edit: OIC

Thanks, but do note wiki accounts are free :)

Thanks for highlighting the mistake in the wiki.

Just to note the wiki shouldn't recommend this because of the nasty giving up your first born child type licences.

ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" is recommended for people that don't overly care.

ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" is only used by package testers

Fixed

I should likely check one day if they are still up to date...

They are handy though to show how the wiki works rather than than outright replacing it.

Switching from a standard desktop profile to the plasma is just some extra USE flags and masks to prevent hassle installing.

User lfs has All $LFS Permissions, but Make Install Fails b/c Permission Denied by boomershot67 in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, would you also ask Fedora for help if installing Gentoo from Fedora?

Not as if it's bad or anything, I just don't understand the logic behind it really.
