i was expecting a dumb joke like ‘my d*ck’ or something but agreed
Who says obsidian is hard?
Obsidian in this context is as fictional as vibranium.
Yeah obsidian is 5-5.5 on the moh’s scale. It’s softer than quartz. What makes it special is how sharp it can get, not how hard it is. Also, it’s just really cool
Tbf one of these things is fictional: Gentoo users
Funnily enough, the one irl Linux user used Gentoo.
I tried Gentoo once, I just straight up do not have time for that. It’s fine, honestly nice even, but the waiting omg. Maybe I was doing things wrong but I don’t have all day to sit around eating for things to compile
Bloatness is just an excuse to avoid all the problems of installing a new program in Gentoo.
Please, tell me they don’t have to compile everything.
They didn’t have to. They GET to.
They actually don’t but it is the way programs are installed on gentoo by default.
Compiling Firefox on my old ThinkPad took 9 hours
That’s kind of the point of Gentoo. Though it’s not as hard as it sounds, the package manager (emerge) pretty much does it for you. It just might take a while.
Gentoo has optional binary packages now.
Hang on, what? You’re talking about the extra time (and electricity), or do you think it’s in any way difficult/error prone?
I’m talking about laziness. And that stuff you named too.
Anything that isn’t the bootloader is just bloat
I’ve never had high end machines but I don’t remember installing being a chore on Gentoo even 20 years ago. Just
emerge openoffice
And let it do its thing in the background
But I went to use OpenOffice, not watch it do its thing in the background…
