If you don't care about the benefits of Gentoo, such as the excellent use flags system, then no it's very much not worth it.

If you'd rather that every program comes compiled with every possible option, and requires every possible dependency because of this, then you'd be better suited by a binary distro.

If, however, you're the kind of person that wonders "why does my torrent client support sound, which pulls in these five audio dependencies? I don't ever need it to make noise, can't I just disable the ability for torrents to go 'bing' when they're done and forego installing those dependencies?", then gentoo might be for you.

Unrelated but also kind of related: check out bedrock Linux. It’s a trip.

It lets you ‘hijack’ a Linux install and then you can use package managers and packages from other distros. It’s magical how well it works.

We need to find a new way to hate on stupid vehicles without body shaming.

The guys with small dicks never did anything wrong. I’m sure some of those truck drivers have massive cannons the diameter of a coke can, but that doesn’t excuse their stupid wasteful vanity machines.

Not who you responded to, but I have a similar setup using ZFS.

6 drives in raid 6, and then an SSD cache.

Monitors are effectively always in 'filmmaker mode', as they don't do frame interpolation and colour grading and over-scanning and all the stuff that filmmaker mode disables.

Ventoy is the easier answer these days IMO. Just drop ISOs on your Ventoy'd usb key and choose them from a menu at boot time.

How are you installing apps?

Can you give an example of the issues you had with a specific app?

If you let them out unsupervised, I'm calling the cops!

What do you mean by “not doing anything during and after install” re Gentoo?

Your computer isn’t held hostage during compilation of that was your impression

the idea is to show that X land use consumes an area equivalent to an easily recognizable state-area

Video ads will run on the primary Uber app while users wait for their drivers to arrive and during their trips, said Mark Grether, vice president and general manager of Uber Technologies’ advertising division. They will also appear on tablets installed inside certain Uber cars.

The Uber Eats app will play video ads after customers place orders and continue until their deliveries arrive; Drizly will run them in search results on its app and website as well as other areas of the site.

Why do they think anyone will leave the app open after ordering, if it just plays ads nonstop? Is the idea that each time they load it to check their order status an ad starts playing?

Audio for ads on the company’s apps will be muted by default, while users will need to manually turn off the audio and display components of the in-ride tablets, according to Grether. Ad inventory will initially be sold directly to buyers in the form of brand takeover packages, with only one company’s ads running during any single ride or transaction.

In-car tablets with audio-enabled ads for a single company on repeat. Poor poor drivers.

I bet the first thing a driver will say once a patron gets in is "you can click this button right here to disable the ad (please please please)"
