minus-squarebdonvr@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·12 days 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-up6·12 days 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-up6·12 days 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-up5·12 days agoGentoo has optional binary packages now.
minus-squareragas@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·12 days agoWe don’t. We can decide between binary packages and compiling.

minus-squareLembot_0006@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·12 days agoI’m talking about laziness. And that stuff you named too.
minus-squareDeebster@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up2·12 days agoI’m so confused. Gentoo users are too lazy to run sudo emerge thing?
