Just make sure you install gnome for that luscious logo

Lmfao just the pictures alone are fucking hilarious

cadekat,

I recently discovered emerge --jobs 8 --load-average 8 instead of just make -j8. Not gonna help much on a 900MHz pentium, but it has really sped up my build times.

magikmw,

Me: Use threads!
Single core CPU: Do I look like a loom to you?

carl_the_llama,

I have to set -j1 because of low ram. Yes I can just increase swap space to “add more RAM” but it will be swap on a 2001 HDD so it’s slow as hell

Serious question, how long will it take to compile the whole thing if you had a ryzen 9 maxed out or an Intel i9 or whatevet those crazy CPUs are with all top specs PC?

ichbinjasokreativ,

I have a laptop with a Ryzen 4700u and gentoo with KDE compiles in a virtual machine in like 2 hours iirc

carl_the_llama,

My IBM took 1h30m to compile vim… (:

Is there a particular reason why you prefer Gentoo over other distros? Can’t you run a conventional distro that doesn’t need to compile? Just curious, no judgement. I know that Marcan, the dude who reverse engineered the apple M1, runs Gentoo. Always been curious as to why some folks prefer it

ichbinjasokreativ,

I dont use gentoo, I was just messing around with it out of curiosity

    So the joke doesn’t run on your build then. lol

    Elliott,

    Let me take this opportunity to tell you I use arch linux…lol

    *laughs in i93900k. -j 32 goes brrr!

    I kid, I kid. -j 32 actually goes kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 10665 (cc) score 666 or sacrifice child ;)

    chellomere,

    Hmm you need to download some more RAM

    I’m sure the Gentoo crowd will refute this in a day or two when they’re finished compiling and can read it.

    Edit: bro, a 2001 era Thinkpad is going to take like a month to finish building everything. You can probably cross build that system faster on your phone.

    carl_the_llama,

    Yes it would be faster but it’s my first go at Gentoo for the base install I want to stick to the handbook. As soon as the base install is done I will see how to make my good Debian machine compile the packages for the IBM. Besides, I have time.

    eldain,

    Distcc should be in the handbook ;) Get some computer friends to help!

    I can relate. I ran gentoo for a while on a T21. I’d use my gaming pc with a q8300 to do all the compiling for it.

    Is this the same actor as one of the robbers in better call Saul?

    FiskFisk33,

    Looks like Quentin Tarantino to me

    trash80,

    It is Quentin Tarentino.

    BeatTakeshi,
    @BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world avatar

    What’s he doing??

    trash80,

    Thinking about feet.

    lud,

    Waiting for the compilation to be done.

    Diprount_Tomato,
    @Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world avatar

    Oh, they really look alike lol

    I also know Tarantino for his movies rather than his face

    trash80,

    Fun fact: he has cameos in all his movies.

    FiskFisk33, (edited )

    Keep an eye open, if a character in his movies smells or otherwise interacts with womens feet, it’s probably played by Quentin.

    Now you can notice when he appears in his own movies!

    Back in the day, around 2005 or 2006 I did that and I had browse the internet in a text based browser for 2 days because KDE on that old machine took two days to compile.

    carl_the_llama, (edited )

    I’m so glad that I’m reliving those experiences because I want and not because I need to.

    JetpackJackson,

    How did it go? I’m trying to make my website more accessible by running it through w3m, so I wonder how the sites back then did.

    jeena,
    @jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

    It depends on the site, back then there were a lot of table-layouts which were quite fucked up in the text-only browser. Nowadays there are non of them which is good, but nowadays there are JavaScript only websites which don’t really work well. You can install a text only browser and try it out yourself.

    JetpackJackson,

    I’m already playing around with w3m but I had no idea about that table thing, sounds rough. Thanks for the links (pun unintended)
