15 years ago I used to do Gentoo stage 1 builds and fuck around with all that nonsense. Nowadays I slap Fedora + XFCE on my desktop and every 12-18 months I do a major lift and shift upgrade. I run mostly stock settings as well.
No you're not a noob. All the nonsense I used to go through was just that... nonsense.
- eropple 8y agoI used to be a lift-and-shift guy, but Fedora upgrades are painless now. I've gone from 26 to 29 on my main workstation and it's been a breeze.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoI look at my times running 4 OSs simultaneously as a learning experience, not nonsense.
- peller 8y agoHaving followed a similar path myself, I'm not sure I'd call it entirely nonsense. These days it's quite rare I need to dip into that toolbox, but I'm regardless quite glad I learned everything Gentoo taught me. It's often made the difference between "oh that's unfortunate, let me fix it" and "shit, I need to re-install".
