I had a genuine question on how to set this up. When booting my computer up, I want it to show my Windows 11 and Gentoo, but I don't understand how to. I did have it work once, but I undid it since it didn't work after that.
I am currently on a dualboot debian and windows for some games or software but I would like to change. Problem as a developer I don’t really know what to choose between the two. Would anyone advise me with real arguments?
I've read an old comment from a post here about a similar discussion that clang compiles faster but has a slower runtime, but that discussion was like 6 years ago by the time I'm writing this post. I want to know, how does clang do today? Also, how would it do as a system-wide compiler?
-O3, -march=native, partial LTO and more.
Cleaned up my Gentoo OpenRC + OpenBox setup.
- gentoo-kernel 6.18.35-gentoo-dist
- LUKS + LVM boot confirmed
- OpenBox + startx working
- WebKit removed / not installed
- depclean: 0 packages to remove
- world: 29
- system: 50
- installed packages: 612
Still not ultra-minimal, but for a usable Xorg/OpenBox desktop with Mesa, fonts, input, terminal, wallpaper, and kernel sources, this is probably close to the practical limit.
tldr: recompiling GCC to enable objc gives seg faults but not when I recompiled with -j1. 6h memtest was ok.
I needed to recompile GCC to enable objc to and the GCC compile was failing getting segfaults so I reduced it to -j4 then another seg fault but then it finished with -j1. I monitored temps during the initial and -j4 runs and was only hitting 78°C on the processor, much less on -j1 though. I ran a memory test when I first built the box off of the liveUSB for only 6 hours since I was impatient but it didn't have any faults. I'm at work today and plan to run an overnight/24 hour memtest but does anyone have any ideas why it would work with -j1 and not -j4 or default which is -j16 I think for the 8c/16threads cpu?
I'm getting back into a homelab/gentoo setup, 20+ years ago I ran a Gentoo box and decided to get back into it when I had some older hardware (5800x +32gb DDR4 + motherboard) laying around. But I'm incredibly rusty and havn't done much with linux or even more so command line linux setups for 20+ years. My brothers who work in IT professionally have informed me that using apache to host a small web server is a very outdated way of doing things, man I feel old sometimes!
After compiling Gentoo the other day with systemd and a binary host, I thought it was time to do the real thing (again) and compile Gentoo with OpenRC and without a binary host.
It took about 11 hours to compile everything from source, including KDE Plasma, Firefox and Steam.
Was it necessary? No! Was it worth it? Absolutely!
Fair and simple, where I live, a normal dual cpus dont exsist and I dont have stuff like ebay or amazon, but since the goverment is good with china, I can order stuff from china, I saw these dual x99 motherboards, and found one with good pice, with high star reviews, so my question is this is it good or bad, my goal is development and virtulization, plus some server stuff, i need as much cores as possible.
here are all the specs :-
CPU:
Processor Series :Xeon E5 2695 V4(18 cores /36 threads) Main frequency :2.1 GHz Socket type :LGA2011-3 3rd level cache: 45MB Technology: 14nm Power: 120W Note: 1: CPU is used, condition good, 1 year warranty 2: There may have some little physical scratches on the surface of the CPU, this is pretty normal. 3: All CPU are strictly tested by our store
Memory:
Chip: SEC / HY/ MIC and others (ship at random) Type: ECC REG (server memory) Frequency: DDR4 2400MHz Capacity:64GB (4*16GB) Note: 1.Memory is used, condition good, 1 year warranty.
If you have other demands on processor model and the memory quantity, you can contact us, we will change it for you.

Cant wait to hear ur thoughts, thanks,
Nearly all packages (and their dependencies) in the hypr overlay (for hyprland) require accepting ~amd64 packages. To save the hassle of writing each package in package.accept_keywords and mixing both stable and unstable packages, would it be better to just globally accept ~amd64 packages? I'm hoping for a (mostly) stable system and I'd like to know what I should expect if I do switch to unstable.
Such a amazing os definitely lighter and faster than void runit in my opinion and experience
Before you'll say anything, I'm aware my zram config is completely impractical.
I finished setting up the service I'm gonna run the service itself only uses 2.2GiB of ram, I'm sure there's some configurations I could do to get the ram usage down a little, but the 2.59-60GiB is only what the system continues to use, so I'm not to concerned.
I'm currently working on configuring settings related to power, & sleep, & configuring the UEFI settings, then I'm gonna rip the lid off of the e6430, & unplug the keyboard/trackpad, & toss it into my little compute stack made up of food cans as separators/spacers, & other e64x0 class machines AMA. ~ UwU
Edit grammar mistake:A little update (on) that install...
Is it only me or can't you really not sort search results on https://bugs.gentoo.org/ by ID or date without being logged it?
it's not really a problem as I have an account but just noticed it and I am pretty sure it worked in the past without being logged in.
And I can imagine being able to see newer bugreports first is also useful for people without an account.
I started using Linux with Arch a year ago. I switched to Gentoo because I want to try/learn a different init system. And I'm loving OpenRC, I also think portage has so cool features, but I'm still learning how to use it correctly.
