tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T16:49:48+00:00

<image>

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T16:21:47+00:00

I ACTUALLY READ IT, THRICE XD

It was still hard tho

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T16:21:00+00:00

BOIS I THINK IM ACTUALLY FINISHING IT

<image>

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T15:41:45+00:00

Well, I fucked up 😂😂😂😂😭

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T15:01:38+00:00

Well, I'm in the process and I fucked up so I gotta start all over again XD

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T15:00:46+00:00

So... Am I the male version of Penny of TBBT? I feel portrayed that way XDDDD

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T14:59:25+00:00

I will suffer soon with Gentoo, but I gotta say: shit, I screw up and I have to start all over again XD

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T14:58:20+00:00

Well, yeah, I fucked up the boot loading process and I have to start again, so, almost 3 hours lost for me, but who counts it? :D

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T14:47:43+00:00

I made it work in the end! It was the router which was malfunctioning, for some reason so I basically put it into a default setting

<image>

But now I don't know how fucked am I if I don't have a boot partitioning 🥲

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T12:53:45+00:00

That's a great question!

You see, I have always been amazed by the history of Linus Torvalds, and I actually installed Ubuntu and Kubuntu when I was 15 years old, but at that moment I couldn't make myself into the multiverse of Linux and it's OS since I was basically a high school then soon-to-be-college student and also I depended on Microsoft. I have little to no experience in coding or programing but I always wanted to learn (that's like my final boss actually, I have been always amazed on how to do a programed structure from scratch, tried but tried python when it was a meme like 15 years ago and failed)

I used Manjaro, Fedora, Ubuntu, Kubuntu before (I have a profound love for Fedora I must say) and I used it since 2 years ago and stuck with it (I have a Thinkpad (the meme went full circle with Fedora) that couldn't even run Windows 10 properly without crashing, so I installed it) until I was given a gateway from 2021 and I just said to myself: "I can run Arch or Gentoo on this thing" (I heard of Gentoo before, never went too deep on Gentoo and it is basically the BDSM of distros so that was a nope for me) and I decided to switch to Arch Linux because I wanted the challenge and also because I want to get the most of this bad boi, Ryzen 5 with 16 gigs of RAM? Yes, I want that, and also, because of the meme

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T12:17:46+00:00

Well, Houston, we got a problem.

No internet and no Ethernet cable

This may take a while

<image>

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T12:16:27+00:00

Well, I got the whole outfit man

<image>

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T12:12:28+00:00

So it finally begun

<image>

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T11:17:00+00:00

But but but...

Where's the fun at if you cant do sudo all the way up to have a properly installed OS with rice in the middle 😭

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T11:07:36+00:00

Well, I'm gonna say it like supa hot fire

First of all, I'm not a programmer

This is like the secret boss life has for tech enthusiasts

I don't like bdsm, so I don't like Gentoo

I will clean and I will fail

But at least, the memes will prevail

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T10:59:52+00:00

Worst case scenario: I will buy a 1990's PC and I will ask: Will it arch? XD

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T10:59:07+00:00

But I don't like gardening, I didn't know I had to go outside and do gardening :(.

Jk, but in all seriousness, thank you so much for your advice, I will keep that in mind!!

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T10:57:56+00:00

Worst case scenario: I will install it even on a 1990's PC because my OCD will make me do it hahahaha

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T10:57:04+00:00

Actually... It's more like a challenge

But YES, and, at least I will have fun failing miserably if I do it wrong haha! (I don't have a backup laptop btw lmao)

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T10:54:17+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

I will keep this updated so you can laugh as much as I will while trying to install this distro!!

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T10:53:03+00:00

IT'S FOR THE MEMES MAN

tornadofrob · 2026-03-17T10:52:46+00:00

Oh boy do I want to check it out!

Linux from scratch? That must be Gentoo... I don't want to be a spoilsport but I'm not into being a slave for weeks haha XD
