We talk about distros. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago Distros basically are OSes. You get some choices of kernel with some choices of userland and some choices of desktop environment. Additionally, you get some update mechanism and optionally some customized looks, tools, and/or sets of settings. That's all what an OS really is. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (1 child) To be fair, I did recommend Window 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, and Windows 7 to random people. It somehow stopped. I play on Gentoo, btw. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 months ago (1 child) I play on Gentoo, btw There are literally dozens of us!

But having all the gaming stuff (including GE Proton and Steam) managed by Portage is pretty neat. And don't worry: When you are done hopping, Gentoo will always be there to accept you back without any judgment. It's all about choice after all... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) Hmm I don't think I ever had GE managed by Portage, I just compiled it the old fashioned way. Steam was definitely from some overlay and installed via Portage though. If I ever install Gentoo again, I'll have to learn to make my own ebuilds.
