As a long-time Gentoo user and supporter, my main issue is the time investment. Not the investment in installing and initial setup, not compilation in the background (binary packages make things much easier today), but staying up-to-date wi

Amazing project, great people behind it, but it is a time sink.

Whenever I think that the time I invested in some of the mini-projects is lost/wasted time and that it was probably better choice to do just about anything else instead - I come across something like this. The only thing I can conclude

This might be too harsh... Do not think it is betrayal, but it is idiotic and can understand someones frustration with it. On par with FreeBSD developers using MacOS to develop their OS.

People easily install these without being concerned about security or privacy. I am actually more curios if these are audited at all or the risk is solely on users? I use GNOME only in throwaway VM, but even there - only the extensions avai

If you cannot audit it and supervise it, do not offer a point-and-click way to install it. Do not rely on end-users experience and sanity nor the good intentions of random people online. Installation of Gnome extensions or KDE themes (unles

Although I do prefer look and feel of the GNOME and most of the software I use is GTK, I use Plasma as well. The main issue I personally have with GNOME is it's dependency on 3rd-party extensions. For start, it's missing clipboard

I knew about Trinity right from the beginning of project (back then it was available in one of the Gentoo's overlays), but I am genuinely surprised it is still running and they actually introduce new features to the DE and applications

I went this rabbit hole roughly 2 years ago and I just quit at the very end, because my focus went from using the OS for something productive to maintaining it, securing it and becoming home sys admin. Since then, I’m simply “ignorant” and

I am running “full-blown” desktop with relatively minimal Plasma (I installed only the KDE software I actually need). The initial setup was quite straight-forward, without any tweaking or particular issues. I do use binary packages (availab

Gentoo ended my distro-hopping phase back in high-school/college student days (17-18 years ago). Top class documentation (the title moved to Arch in the meantime) and helpful, supportive and knowledgeable users of their community taugh

Mentioning the debt without any figures is at least... superficial. Article does not mention how much sleep daily is considered sufficient (I'm aware it is individual matter). Also, if naps help or not.

It is Ruby implementation if I got it right, not a Ruby-like language. Not the first and probably not the last one (jRuby, Rubinius, MacRuby etc.).
