minus-squarebdonvr@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·3 months agoThat’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.
minus-squarepoinck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 months agoPlease don’t be angry with me, but the package manager is called portage; emerge is just one commandline tool to interact with it.
minus-squarebdonvr@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 months agoNo problem, tried Gentoo like once over 5 years ago. It was cool and fun but not a daily driver for me.
minus-squaremkwt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 months agoGentoo has optional binary packages now.

minus-squareLembot_0006@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoI’m talking about laziness. And that stuff you named too.
minus-squareDeebster@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoI’m so confused. Gentoo users are too lazy to run sudo emerge thing?
