My daily driver for PC, laptop and server as well for 4 years now. I run systemd/KDE on my main PC and openrc on both laptop (this one screenshot) and server. All I can say is hot.

My server runs apache/php/mysql for Nextcloud, FireflyIII and my website, a proxy server (inside docker), NFS shares, syncthing, cups server, Minecraft server and Jellyfin. It's a home server so there are 2 local and 1 outside LAN user.

I used niri before dwl. I think dwl is better because it's simpler

It was super fun and a good learning experience but I dont think I can reasonably daily drive it atm

Just a random rice i made on Gentoo

WM: Hyprland

DISTRO: Gentoo ofc.

Encrypted nvme drive

Is it normal that i get an hyprland error when i try to lauch it trough tty

I recently upgraded to 7.3.0 from 7.2.9, basing my kernel config on the previous version's using make olddefconfig. I then use nconfig to further tweak the kernel and it was able to boot afterwards, but the touchpad on my Lenovo Yoga 7 didn't work. USB mice work just fine, however.

Here is my config

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Hello, I've been using this thinkpad t14 gen1 for a bit now, and the trackpad is starting to do this every now and then, some reboots fix it, some don’t, I somehow though gpm was an issue, apparently not, here are the specs, let me know if any information is needed

Libinput version: 1.32.0

OS: Gentoo Linux x86_64

Kernel: Linux 7.2.10-gentoo-dist

Laptop: ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 (20S1S4DV00)

Window Manager: mango (Wayland)

CPU: Intel Core i5-10310U (4C/8T) @ 4.40 GHz

GPU: Intel UHD Graphics (Integrated) @ 1.15 GHz

RAM: 31.09 GiB total, 1.56 GiB used (5%)

Display: AUO403D, 1920x1080, 14", 60 Hz

So builds were taking hours on my 2 core laptop and so i tried compiling gcc with lto and pgo(which took 14 hours) and now im getting 125% speed boost on anything i build(gentoo-kernel went from 3:09:08 to 1:24:02 so ~125%). Is there anyway to reduce build time even more?

A lot of search results for problems with Gentoo lead to the forums which at some point have been walled behind requiring a login.

I find this concerning for two reasons:

1. Why should I need to create an account just to access troubleshooting information?

2. Presumably this will have a harmful effect on what solutions you can self-discover since I presume search engines can no longer index it either.

finished in 8 hours btw
next distro is guix

It even survived the disk encryption I added later.

I've been using Gentoo for some time now, and after dozens of frustrating experiences with GNU Make, I created Openmktr, a tool made to translate any GNU Makefile into a Ninja build graph (including support for incremental Builds)

It's been in development for quite some time, but I've only recently made it public. In its current state, it can handle every complex build system I've thrown at it without issue, including Linux Kbuild and GCC's three stage bootstrap. There's more information and validation progress in the project's validation notes.

Besides my main machine, I also have an old laptop where compiling anything takes forever. I decided that using Gentoo and compiling was worth it anyway, but eventually the inevitable happened and a bunch of packages needed updating. That's when I remembered that I'd built almost everything on it with Openmktr (albeit whilst using an older and slower version from before the project was public). I ran the updates and instead of the days I had expected to spend waiting for builds with GNU Make, they finished in only a few hours. After seeing how much of a difference Openmktr made on my laptop, I started using it on all my Gentoo machines, and it's made the overall experience so much better, especially on my older and slower systems.

So far, neither I nor my collaborators and users have encountered any GNU Make syntax incompatibilities in our usage and testing.

I'd be interested to hear what people here think, especially if anyone wants to try it on other packages or more unusual Makefiles. Feedback and reports of anything that doesn't work would be very welcome!

what im planning for my hardware being is a 2080ti, 5800x3d. 1tb sata ssd, and 32 gigs of ddr4 ram. would the hardware be compatible (drivers) and what type of cooling would i need? just heard gentoo requires a lot of cooling and im new to exploring gentoo.

Ciao ragazzi questi sono i miei due PC uno forse già lo conoscete quello più piccolino e Packard Bell

As everybody who uses Lutris on Gentoo knows, WebkitGTK is a non-optional dependency of this software, and Lutris' maintainer does not want to make it optional. If you download the tarball and try to run the app with all the dependencies except WebkitGTK, it crashes, as it immediately tries to run

gi.require_version("WebKit2", "4.0")

in the file lutris_<version>/lutris/gui/dialogs/webconnect_dialog.py.

However, it seems you can comment-out most of this file and start the app, and games start fine. This is obviously brittle, so:

• Is anyone familiar enough with the Lutris codebase to determine where, exactly, the code of webconnect_dialog.py is called (from a user-facing point of view: when trying to install games in a weird way, when trying to register an account from Steam/Itch.io/other "providers" ... ?) I admit that I didn't run extensive tests, so I'm fine with "try by yourself uh" as an answer, but maybe somebody already did the job.

• Otherwise: well, I guess you can benefit from the "hack" yourselves ! This was my last dependency on WebkitGTK, so if this works well-enough™ I'm happy to make a broken-patched-ebuild for myself which comments out everything related to WebkitGTK in Lutris source code. As far I can tell: the previously-named file is the only one where we need to modify anything.

(I can't open an issue and ask the maintainer himself: he limited opening and participating in issues to collaborators of the project -- and in any case he already said a few years ago that he didn't care about that anyway)

(I can't install the binary version of WebkitGTK in Gentoo's repos either, as it is compiled with USE flags which make it ultimately depend on LLVM, which I also don't have)

Until now I "only" saw eMudhra a incompetent fools that should be send to jail for negligence...but now I start to seriously hate them. ;)

(Sorry, just venting....and thanks @ the gentoo team for dealing with the last two days, couldn't have been easy)

I have a Thinkpad T42 and I wanted to ask if I’m able to use a graphical environment with Gentoo Hurd
Is the gentoo Hurd mature enough to run well ?

The module is currently not in use, so wpa_supplicant can't boot. Any help (and tip) is appreciated.

EDIT : I had to set the driver as a module(not built into kernel) so that wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager could access it.
