Typical installation of Ubuntu vs Arch vs Gentoo Linux...

Make sure you have some liquid nitrogen before installing Gentoo!

This video is the comparison of Ubuntu Linux installation experience with Arch Linux install & configuration and finally Gentoo compilation.

Ubuntu: Here's an easy GUI installer, it'll do everything for you

Fedora: Here's a GUI installer but feel free to customize whatever you want either with installer or with terminal or something else like gparted

Arch: Haha screw you and learn all my CLI tools

Gentoo: *compile from source mortal*

You missed the part where Ubuntu decides to break itself just because it felt like it.

Installing Ubuntu is unironically easier than installing Windows.

Gentoo: what windows users think linux users do
Arch: what linux users tell windows users they do
Ubuntu: what linux users actually do 90% of the time

[ezekiellaww]

the reason most Arch users are so in your face about using it is because most of them installed it before the scripting came out and faced literal hell, so them always saying "hey I use Arch Linux for my computer btw" is something equivalent to "hey I fought and slayed a dragon and now hold it's head on my mantlepiece but it still doesn't connect to bluetooth btw"

In my view, Gentoo is about learning the internals of packages and know how to troubleshoot and solve errors. And the knowledge is mostly transferable to any distro after that. I am the one everybody calls when their Linux distro fails to boot and they need hardcore recovery.

Arch users feeling like top tier hackers after merely copy pasting every step on the wiki and not even understanding what or why they’re doing it 😂

Gentoo taught me how to install Arch better than Arch did. I don't know if it was because of experience, but I installed Arch better than I used to from Gentoo.

You gotta give Ubuntu (or any other relatively easy to install distros like Fedora or openSUSE) credit; they might not be the best/fastest/smallest distros around, but you have to admit installing them is – in 90% of cases – really intuitive and leaves you with a default installation that would satisfy most "I have to work _at_ my PC, not _on_ it" users. Sure, getting the perfect install _for your specific needs_ isn't gonna be just the Ubuntu defaults, but it's still admirable to try and make it as easy as possible for the largest number of users with varying levels of skill.

Dude install an os every time he boot his computer, what a chad ...

i once installed gentoo on a core 2 duo thinkpad with 2 gigs of ram on an old hdd.
I also made breakfast & dinner on the laptop whilst it was compiling everything

[niggawatt]

Once i was stuck with no heating, and was basically freezing to death.
So i ran emerge -e world on my laptop and used it for warmth.
True story. Gentoo saved my life.

[Vilematrix]

You know you have gone to far, when you want to install gentoo to relax.

[Liaret]

I'm using Gentoo (with custom kernel config, not some genkernel) daily as my work machine. Yes, it took about 3 months to configure and tweak everything, but it's also as fast as slim as I can probably make it.

[miniimposter]

I like the fact that you pick "The only thing they fear is you" for Gentoo

[Physhi]

I only use Gentoo at home. I have a Gentoo server on my personal network so it refreshes and compiles every day at a specific time, my computers x64_86 immediately pick up when their build is ready via simple scripts. I also have other automatic builds for ARM32&ARM64 along with other builds that demand small amount of space. I've always managed to get more space on the internal disks with super small builds.

I first used Linux in the late 90s, when I bought a magazine with Slackware 3.5, after that I always believed that Linux only get easier to use with the years.

Arch now has a scripted installer on the iso, you don't have to do all this manually anymore. all you had to do was run 'archinstall', and you just choose your options via the procedural menu, and you're done relatively quickly.

[aaaaaa-hhcq]

I really like your videos 😂😂😂
Both educational and funny and you don't waste time on anything 👌🏻❤️ (other than installing arch btw 😁)

Ok, you loose some swag points for using ext4 instead of btrfs (ext4 is ok, but looses on swag), you didn't create a user for gentoo, therefore after reboot you will be stuck at the login and clearly your make.conf USE flags missed pipewire or pulseaudio (and don't tell me it's a soundless sever, you added alsa). However 9.99/10.
