In the past, my attempts to install Gentoo on my test PC, which uses a BIOS system, were, just a big fail due to a bunch of small mistakes I made. But this time around I installed Gentoo on my main PC, which has 18 cores, that allows me to compile things faster. Overall, I found the installation process to be very straightforward. I simply SSHed into the computer and copied the necessary commands to install the required packages, along with some miscellaneous things like ensuring the file systems where 100% working.</p> - - <h2>NVIDIA</h2> - <p>After installing I wanted to get my desktop enviroment of <a href="00dwm">DWM</a> working. Now sadly I do have a NVIDIA Gpu and I knew before I even started installing Gentoo that I would have problems with it. So I tried the simple solution first just installing the <a href="https://www.x.org/wiki/">Xorg server software</a> and the NVIDA graphics drivers. It did not work so I did some more tinkering and updated my system with a configured kernel but I sent it into a panic. At this point I just lost all hope and I had been using Gentoo for two days at that point and I just wanted a normal desktop so I reinstalled <a href="https://archlinux.org">Arch Linux</a> and played some video games because I was just tired at that point.</p> - - <h2>Final thoughts</h2> - <p>I really enjoyed messing around with Gentoo, even though it took a long time to do so. The documentation on their website was excellent, and I highly recommend trying it out if you're looking for a faster operating system. Personally, I plan to switch to Gentoo once I get an AMD GPU since AMD is supported way better on Linux.</p> - - <p>My favorite thing about Gentoo is that it doesnβt require <a href="https://systemd.io/">Systemd</a> as your init system. Instead, Gentoo gives you the choice to use OpenRC, which I find to be simpler and more efficient and not to add more clean than Systemd. I also love that Gentoo requires you to compile everything, and I noticed that my system ran way faster compared to when I was using Arch Linux or any other Linux distro.</p><hr> - - <p>But that is all, thank you for reading!</p> - - <center><hr> - <pre><a href="../index.html">Back πͺ</a> | <a href="tags/Linux">More Linux π§</a> | <a href="tags/Tech">More Tech π§βπ»</a> </pre> - </center> - </main> - </body> -</html> - |
