AUR is garbage. I want full verifiability when a package is installed, but sadly only a few distros care about reproducibility.

That's when I went to Gentoo and started using custom overlays (vapoursynth and retroarch) that I realized how shit the AUR is. Arch kiddies are simply not fit to make proper packages.

Gentoo waists too much time, you gotta manually install everything directly from source. its not worth the frustration it causes trying to install that shitty distro, it just makes me mad even just thinking about Gentoo

I'll get the ISO and read it if you tell me the path of the file I need to read. If you can't tell me the path of the file I'm going to assume you're trying to waste my time.

anon, i am not trolling/joking or anything like that. it was when i was using #! when it was still being updated. i looked in every text file in the whole dang system. dont beleave me then, its not like i lose or win anything and even if say i was trolling you i wouldnt know that my trolling worked...look or dont its up to you, but i guess you could search for a text file with the words NSA in it

Compilation times aren't a problem if you't not using shitware. Occasionally using your CPU to compile xorg or firefox isn't really hard; you still can browse the web and listen to music while waiting; you can even set it with a high nice and do everything you do usually.
See >>869345 for a proper answer. You got memed hard, kiddo.

Do a search yourself. Use grep -r, it's easy that way. I don't feel like downloading it without something concrete.

Minimalism =/= small size, low number of packages
I have a Gentoobox that literally only has one package in its World, Emacs. Is that minimalism? Stop wanking your epeen. Someone might take you seriously.
▶ No.869504
>>869370 (OP)
wait until there's a major package change, like the desktop environment, and you're thrown for a loop for a few hours trying to get a workflow. Unless all you're using is twm, xterm and xclock, you'll see something major change every month or so. I'd rather have the relearning experience restricted to the time I install something.

Emacs is a minimal operating system.
▶ No.869510
>>869506
Yeah, I know. It's too bad I need GNU/Linux as a bootloader. Then again, I guess people do the same thing with so-called minimalist distros like Alpine in Docker. If I can be honest for a sec, I honestly don't understand the difference between a command like cat in a normal Unix environment and the cat command emulated in elisp in eshell. Both of them are technically minimal in terms of size, right? So the only difference is the container, really. But, really, what's the difference between Emacs and its tiny, tiny C core and GNU/Linux in some kind of docker container? If anything, the former is more efficient. The whole minimalism/epeen thing has always confused me. FreeBSD proponents brag about how much more "minimal" and "Unix-like" their operating system is compared to GNU bloat, but then they love to parade distinctly un-Unix solutions like dtrace and ZFS everywhere as a testament to their success. Literally the most successful thing about FreeBSD are its ammendments to the Unix model, not its adherence to Unix. It's literally no different than GNU--one might just be technically superior to the other in a certain lens.

You don't compile shit manually.
That's a big reason I love Gentoo, it's a very batteries included OS.
If there's something to go wrong, Portage likely can help you fix it if the developers didn't straight up write a specialized tool for it themselves.
Arch takes a long time to fix because of its KISS nature.
There are no utilities to help you fix things. You are on your own.

Does it use X11? I can't stand a Linux distro that relies on that ancient piece of shit library. You literally can't programically move windows around the screen because X11 treats that as hints.
