Hello,

first I installed Gentoo with glibc and it worked fine, I got sway up and running but after some time I got bored and wanted something new. so I decided to go with Arch with rEFInd bootloader but I couldn’t make it work. Arch dropped me into a rescue shell. so I went back to Gentoo but this time with musl and this time I tried Hyprland on Gentoo. there were 133 packages to install for Hyprland, so I went for installing those packages but the build failed probably because using musl. now I thought I just pick that’s easy to setup and I went with Debian and it got installed successfully. so yeah, right now I am using Debian after the back and forth between Arch and Gentoo.

sadly I pissed of some Gentoo devs on IRC #gentoo :(

maybe it was my fault I shouldn’t have distrohopped when Gentoo was installed succesfully and working fine.

    Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

    distrohoped

    This should be a word. It would mean “trying yet another flavor because it might be The One”

    For refind on Arch, you have to fix the entries it creates in /boot/refind.conf. Those point to the ISO drive when created in the chroot, so change them to point to your real root drive.

      I love Mint! It’s not for those who like to tinker and break and fix thinks, because it just works out of the box. External audio, Intel CPU, Nvidia card were no problems in my setup. Calling Mint a beginners distro is like a car mechanic calling a sleek, fun car that’s going smoothly a beginners car. I’m not part of some elitist cult, my OS isn’t my personality, I’m not a masochist and I don’t crave innovation just for the sake of it. I tried a couple other distros but none felt as polished and accessible as Mint.
      Be sure to use workspaces (strg+alt+arrows), I ignored them for too long because Windows doesn’t have them.

        Trust me, the closer you get to the linux community, the more you’ll realize that the “elitists” are just a small and abrasive minority.

        They’re not even enthusiasts; just trolls trying to send others down bad paths.

        Free software is for everyone. Not just nerds who know how to tinker.
