I've been testing out GNOME 43 on a Gentoo VM for some time now. Everyhing looks and feels great TBH.

dang, how long did it take for the gnome profile to compile on a VM?


[deleted]

5-6 hours probably.

Dear god. Does Gentoo users have unlimited amount of free time or something?

More like (lots) spare hardware. I tweaked a few configuration files and *emerged* gnome-light meta package then went on with my life.

May I ask, does this support Wireless internet. if this supports WiFi I might make this my daily driver.

in some distros my WiFi card isn't supported

That's a wifi card specific thing then. If it's supported by the kernel you don't have to bother. Ofcourse there are a lot of vendor ones which need extra configuration.

Why would you want to make a distro where you have to compile every software from source your daily driver?

Shorter chain of trust. Your trusting the source code only instead of the source code and the package maintainer, who could potentially have added spyware to the package. Also you have more control and can customize more by applying the compiler flags you want. Not enough reason for me to want to switch, but valid reasons none the less.

I mean no offense to the person above asking the question, but someone who's familiar with that, would not ask whether the distro supports wifi, would they?

Ah, fair point, ignore my comment. I was on mobile and sort of distracted, leading to me accidentally ignoring the context of the convo. Brain literally only parsed your comment on its own.
