Autistic. I like communism and puppies. I’m quite fragile, please be mindful.

  • I personally have 2 Linux distros alongside Windows in my computer, I suggest you don’t remove Windows just yet since you probably will need it until you have everything set up on Linux, and there are some programs and games that will only run on Windows.

    If / when you install Linux on your PC, I think it would be a good idea to look into how to make a dedicated /home partition (/home is the folder where all the user folders are) so if you want to try another distro you can still access the stuff your user had in the distro you were using before.

    Though making a dedicated /home partition is not very straightforward if you’ve never done it before. However I’m sure if you ask around here people will help you.

    Perhaps it would be cool to make a masterpost on this community explaining some basic stuff about Linux. I could probably do it but I would need help from more experienced Linux users to proofread the stuff I put there, as I don’t want to post misinformation.








  • It’s being a good experience so far, though I do have to say that installing stuff in portage is not as straightforward as for example apt, since packages take a while to install and sometimes there is “masked” stuff which takes me a few extra steps to install.

    Also googling stuff about Gentoo seems to flood the results with “how to install Gentoo” which is kinda inconvenient, but not really Gentoo’s fault.

    Well I’m only saying negative stuff about it but I genuinely am enjoying the experience.




  • I installed Gentoo alongside Debian and Windows, took me an entire day 😅

    Also I saw on distrowatch that there is an open source OS on development that can run Windows stuff natively (.exe programs and all these things), It’s called ReactOS. I tried installing it on my PC but the USB just wouldn’t boot :(

    And this isn’t from my weekend but I discovered that I absolutely love the KDE Classic cursors for some reason. I guess it’s because they are so simple and kinda give retro vibes.
