[08:56:35] + Gentoo/rizon Linux is only a kernel

[08:57:08] + Gentoo/rizon The Linux I use it 14MiB in size and damn that's bloated.

[08:57:25] + Gentoo/rizon Doesn't include initramfs thou, but that's just for cryptsetup really

[08:58:02] + Gentoo/rizon Try Gentoo. No bloated display or kernel by default.

[08:58:45] + Gentoo/rizon Gentoo doesn't have an installer, so it is only for the most based.

[08:59:15] + Gentoo/rizon Dualbooting with what?

[08:59:58] + Gentoo/rizon Cringe and proprietary pilled.

[09:00:04] + Gentoo/rizon https://www.fsf.org/windows

[09:00:41] + Gentoo/rizon I do compile my Linux from scratch, did you mean GNU From Scratch?

[09:01:02] + Gentoo/rizon The only reason I haven't compiled GNU from scratch is because I would just arrive at Gentoo.

[09:01:17] + Gentoo/rizon Imagine having a misleading domain name,

[09:01:31] + Gentoo/rizon Seems to be mostly about compiling GNU.

[09:01:48] + Gentoo/rizon Yes, I can't stop you from being wrong.

[09:02:35] + Gentoo/rizon https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.html

[09:03:21] + Gentoo/rizon GNU/Linux is far easier to install and use than any proprietary OS, it's just that normies expect thick chains and are scared when they come across thin chains.

[09:04:21] + Gentoo/rizon Please don't say "the Linux kernel", as the layout for kernel names for OS's where the kernel doesn't have a particular name is; the <OS name> kernel. Please just say Linux instead of repeating yourself.

[09:04:43] + Gentoo/rizon The endgame is GNU/Hurd, I just need to finish off the 64bit port and add some other nice features.

[09:07:20] + Gentoo/rizon Yes, sadly Gentoo's repos is full of proprietary temptation.

[09:08:04] + Gentoo/rizon Gentoo doesn't actually ship any proprietary software at all out of the box, nor does it ship a proprietary version of Linux (or any version of Linux at all by default).

[09:08:24] + Gentoo/rizon rms has noted that it is acceptable to use such distros, provided you don't install proprietary malware on them.

[09:09:18] + Gentoo/rizon No non-free packages installed on lain! rms would be proud.

[09:09:59] + Gentoo/rizon I also use ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FSF-APPROVED @FSF-APPROVED-OTHER", and so portage warns me if proprietary malware would be installed.

[09:10:43] + Gentoo/rizon Nothing at all.

[09:11:03] + Gentoo/rizon Trying to resize partitions when the disk is in use is a recipe for disaster mind you.

[09:11:48] + Gentoo/rizon *ext4 partition

[09:12:07] + Gentoo/rizon You can resize live partitions sometimes, but that's a really bad idea.

[09:13:10] + Gentoo/rizon MurderFS

[09:14:28] + Gentoo/rizon Yes, but you may as well erase the windows from the live OS.

[09:16:05] + Gentoo/rizon That's a partition from windows, so yeet it away.

[09:16:48] + Gentoo/rizon linuxuser, Why are you recommending proprietary malware?

[09:16:59] + Gentoo/rizon Windows is really a completely useless OS.

[09:19:13] + Gentoo/rizon Yes, but typically you need something like qemu to use KV

[09:19:14] + Gentoo/rizon M

[09:19:55] + Gentoo/rizon >Recommends vmware with a straight face.

[09:20:30] + Gentoo/rizon There is no point mentioning it, thus mentioning it is a recommendation.

[09:20:54] + Gentoo/rizon vmware is paid, but more importantly it is proprietary malware whether you get the gratis version or not.

[09:26:47] + Gentoo/rizon I just do emerge -av virtualbox lol

[09:27:01] + Gentoo/rizon Only degenerates download arborvitae unsigned binaries.

[09:27:05] + Gentoo/rizon *arbritary

[09:28:26] + Gentoo/rizon >He doesn't readddd the sourceeee,

[09:28:35] + Gentoo/rizon It's almost like you can get signed source code.

[09:29:35] + Gentoo/rizon Great, but I would suggest getting at least signed virtualbox binaries and not unsigned ones.

[09:29:59] + Gentoo/rizon There should be a more up to date version of virtualbox available in an additional repo.

[09:33:35] + Gentoo/rizon That is not a "repo", as there is no signature on that file as far as I am aware.\

[09:34:06] + Gentoo/rizon A checksum without a matching signature is just a integrity check.

[09:34:43] + Gentoo/rizon Guix has almost solved the bootstrapping problem, but sadly such is currently unusable, as it has nothing like USE flags.

[09:34:56] + Gentoo/rizon Great, you should check the signature before installing the .deb

[09:35:56] + Gentoo/rizon >Basic security practices against the glowies >Completely autistic.

[09:36:02] + Gentoo/rizon 200% autism sorrn
