I need a pep-talk to install Gentoo. I really want to install it but due being human and sadly not a super awesome cyborg. I want to replace my entire Fedora desktop with Gentoo (just not a Arch guy), but i just keep stalling to do so. Am afraid i will be busy 1-2 months perfectionizing it and don't do any work.
And i know the basics of Linux. I just don't know whats keeping me from just starting and do it. It cant be that different then Slackware? (to support it yourself)
I don't think I can actually motivate you... Why'd you want to switch from Fedora to Gentoo? If you need extra motivation to make the switch then I'd reconsider if you actually gain anything from switching.
indeed that's whats spinning in my head. I always come back to fedora because they always seam to be the best OS in my eyes they always implant the latest technology etc.
Replacing my main machine. Center of my home. Getting to understand more of systems. It's sometimes like Gentoo/lfs/slackware/arch. That you learn more and that Fedora just is like hit dnf and hope it works and if not go the website download the source code and hit compile.
Maybe i just look wrong towards operating systems. I always try to restrain myself not to go to deep in something that should be easy...
But yeah might be deeply my inner soul begging for mercy. Installing it inside Qemu is just like real experience right? (lost lot of my hardware due moving, cant afford expansion).
Oh no not trying to get out of Fedora if i wanted less bleeding edge i would have used CentOS.
Yeah that's what keeping me from starting.
Its bit how my brain works. My motivation works differently then others. But @eidolonFIre solved by saying first to mesh around with it on a different device. Its really weird i couldn't solve that on my own. This kind of helped me soo ty :D
