Had to install Arch recently because it would help pad word count. Normally I wouldn’t pick it because it takes so long to install for an experience that doesn’t feel different enough to warrant that time. But I had to for uni so I thought people here might appreciate my attempt at making a pretty desktop. If anyone has tips with Gnome on here feel free to fire away aswell.

    And you can’t really get a lot of words from “I waited 8 hours for Firefox to build.”

    You actually can if you describe the build process and how emerge works, how you can customize the packages with Gentoo’s USE flags etc…

      Yea but Arch has all of that already. I can’t write about Portage outside of “It builds for your cpu. Which is great but everything is built for am64 anyways so it isn’t worth the wait time” which I did. Sure you could write about use flags but it’s university work and I atleast value some of my free time.
