If you want something immediate to daily drive and want more of a custom system as opposed to Arch then maybe give NixOS a shot
IMO the main customization part of Gentoo is that you can compile the world without the libs you don’t want to have. With NixOS (AFAIK) being also package-based, how can it offer more custom system than Arch?
Yeah, with time the compile times only get longer and longer
I loved how tailored to me was Gentoo. But as time passes and your hardware gets older, the compilation times get longer and longer. That’s what made me to do the hop
I’ve heard some time ago that now Gentoo is offering more pre-compiled packages. But I don’t know the extent. libstd, gcc and libreoffice were the worst offenders in my time
If you’re going to be compiling your own kernel (or now Gentoo ships with pre-compiled ones too?) my word of advice would be “don’t forget to compile in the filesystem support”
I haven’t done that myself but from https://pimylifeup.com/pangolin-linux/ I understand that will only be subdomain to access pangolin dashboard
how do I keep the vps.domain.tld while also allowing for pangolin.domain.tld to be valid at the same IP?
Domains are just translation from name to IP. What gets served on which subdomain is then handled by nginx or traefik. AFAIK you can have all 3 (VPS, pangolin and root) to point at the same IP
To me the idea of temporality of communities and no instances is interesting. It’s definitely something new

Sometimes I end up mindlessly scrolling yt shorts (not logged in). From time to time I get to a short that is clearly generated. Like the weird ones, often with animals, with drops of water appearing out of nowhere on the fur or front paws somehow transforming into hind ones, etc. And there, in the comments, very often are whole chains of comments that seem to completely be missing the fact that it’s generated. Saying things “how wise it is to do that”, “how cute”, etc. It could be older generations not noticing the details (I see how my parents not notice those things) but I think most of those are probably bots. LLMs exchanging their "awww"s under generated videos. “Dead internet theory”
On second thought, try to find out which driver your new network card needs and install it before the switch. As long as you have command line and network (USB drivers for keyboard should not be an issue) you can install whatever is missing
Btw, there are two command line browsers that I know of: links and lynx. Copying commands from phone gets tedious fast
In general it shouldn’t. You might need to install some new drivers for the new chipset but in itself the system should work. Especially since nowadays kernels are shipped with a lot of stuff and I’m guessing you’re not compiling yours
Regarding messing up with live environment, I don’t remember if GPT is enough for UEFI to load your bootloader or maybe you might need to install something in there

Oh. So that f in the posts of the person that posts a screenshot every day is not a typo, it is in the title
How is Silent Hill f? Is it worth checking out? I am a complete tourist when it comes to horror games
I can see how that could be a hassle on nixos and if you don’t have more scripts
FWIW, I use chezmoi for stuff like this, I guess it might be easier to make it work with nixos by setting up chezmoi in HOME, instead of defining scripts directly
At this point, I would make it a bash script and put it in ~/bin. If one has to get back to it 5 years later, it will be painful to debug
I haven’t thought about it this way, you might be right

-L to? Of course, compiling things completely from scratch is unmaintainable anyway (that’s why PKGBUILD was another big point - it’s easy to create your own AUR packages that will get pacman-level maintainability), but sometimes you want to check if that new patch solves your issue/opt. But it should be my decision if I want something installed in /opt/bin or /usr/local/bin. In distros that did not enforce where things are put in, it was all over the place. But to be fair, to me, even bin/sbin separation is bsUnlike Linux, these BSDs have a clear separation of OS from these packages. OS files and data are stored in places like /bin and /etc, while user installed packages get installed to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/etc.
What do you consider the OS? Is firefox a part of OS? Is office part of OS?
On FreeBSD, the freebsd-update command is used for upgrading the OS and the pkg command is used for managing user packages. On OpenBSD, the syspatch command is used for upgrading the OS and the pkg_* commands are used for managing user packages.
Personally, the ditching of /usr/local mess was one of the selling points of Arch for me, but in a way you could achieve this in Arch. Create a secondary pacman config with RootDir set to /usr/local and alias pacman --config /etc/pacman_local.conf as pkg_pacman
Rolling release means that you won’t be forced to reinstall the whole system when the number after the name flips. And you won’t be locked out of some newer version of a package because the distro you use decided they’re cutting off the updates to “old” versions
