Binary Plebs Trying Gentoo
I just spent two days installing gentoo. Got confused with systemd-boot, many times chrooted to solve the issue, surrendered and gone with grub instead. Smooth sailing ever since.
Coming from distros like void and nixos, which made me hesitated to try gentoo (compile times aren't fun, luckily there's enough binary packages now). Just this morning I found that transmission installed both qt and gtk version.
Being the 1337 leenox user that I am, I added -qt6 to my use flags, rebuilt with newuse, and ran depclean which made every single qt6-dependant packages got thrown out to the bin.
Wow, what a package manager!
