ASMR Installing Gentoo Linux (No Talking, Mechanical Keyboard, 4K)

The long-awaited rework of my 2018 ASMR video is finally here! This time with binaural sound, a new CPU and in glorious 4K.
I cut out most of the long compilation segments, (as well as me stumbling through menuconfig), the installation itself took about 10 hours (including time for a sleep break). I used menuconfig this time instead of genkernel and cfdisk instead of gparted, so hopefully that will make you guys happy :)

At 10:00 he lights a candle to perform the ritual of dispelling all Arch spirits from the sacred Gentoo installation ritual.

when can we get the full 10 hour version? I need the authentic experience

"Stu, what are you doing?"
"I'm watching an ASMR Gentoo installation video."
"It's four o'clock in the morning! Why on Earth are you watching an ASMR Gentoo installation video?"
"Because I've lost control of my life"

No processor fan blowing sounds
Incomplete experience

not gonna lie, this makes me want to install gentoo, but i could barely install arch

[ambassadorofpain]

Monster energy, pop funk, game boy and painted nails. All we need to know.

[asaskald]

Wolfgang, I don't care what color your nails are. Your channel is among my favorites. That Monster drink.... That is probably my biggest concern. I tried one of the white ones once. Definitely not a fan.

But the good news about the world we live in is that we can paint our nails and drink whatever we want.

[kingofx]

This brings back memories. I have not done a fresh gentoo install in years.

[darthsideous]

Different. I am a pretty big fan of the many relaxing ASMR videos on YouTube, especially the foody stuff, and although I really love all the content you upload I am definitely LOVING this! Thanks for uploading this Woolfgang, its definitely informative and pretty nice to chillax too :)

[YaroLord]

this is a cool video, i come back to rewatch it once every few months because i liked the vibe so much

[_Winfried_]

This is probabably the first Channel I subsribed to so far, which doesnt just not annoy me with future videos but which surprises me in a positive way all the time and actually uploads just the kind of content I am genuinely interested in. This is really mindblowing somehow. Also really delicate Setup and Hardware you got there :D

[luigiduddelsack]

For real? Yesterday I installed Gentoo for the first time, now you upload this!

[fuba]

This was great, feel like i need to roll over and light a cigarette.

ну наконец то блять качественный контент

I watched another gentoo install video from the beginning to the end. Again. What a freak I am. Keep up the good work! :)

[nichtgestalt]

that is some really cool asmr idea. I love it, feel free to do more of these :D

[juzujuzu]

In all seriousness, there's nothing better than Gentoo Linux. Even compiling updates somehow feels satisfying on Gentoo. And you can do that on the background while working, so you'll get used to longer update times.

Gentoo testing branch with GentooLTO overlay with all optimizations maxed, and still working perfectly after a year. Though I would encourage new users to install Stable.

[zainjadoon]

everybody is mad that he painted his nails, but I care that he installed a whole desktop environment on gentoo.

Grato por seu video asmr indo direto ao ponto. Grateful for your asmr video getting to the point.
