Rule of thumb in case of swap: -Do you use hibernate? swap = RAM*2 -If hibernate is not used, do you have more then 4 GiB of ram? swap = round(√RAM) i.e. 8GiB ram; round(√8) = 3GiB of swap. -If hibernate is not used. your ram is equal or lower then 4Gib, but your ram is equal or higher then 2Gib? swap = RAM -Otherwise, swap = RAM*2

@GuyWhoChad 2 года назад

there is no need of this big brain shit, the swap is how much we want, 4gb = 4gb and 12910GB is 12910GB, no nerd stuff needed

think that you should include the full name when extracting the archive. I got an error that said something like "no such file or directory found". However, when I removed stage3-*.tar.xz and replaced it with the full name, I didn't get any errors. Anyway, thank you for the guide. Doing stuff from Linux Mint Live USB instead of Gentoo minimal Live USB is way easier in my opinion. Also, it looks like Linux Mint doesn't support uSATA SSD's on my Dell machine. However, packing the SSD into an USB adapter did display that SSD. Before anyone asks, I disabled disk protection and secure boot in the bios : P

@tabletaccountforyoutube Год назад

I find Gentoo's forced password requirements extremely annoying and it seems hostile to users IMO. I know that it can be disabled, but man I was too stupid to figure it out and almost gave up. After messing with config files I eventually got it to accept a simple password like I wanted, but I don't even know what I did. In the end I actually got my gentoo system installed and rebooted into it, however I suppose I forgot to install the wireless tools needed to actually connect my laptop's wifi to the internet so I couldn't continue, lol. I don't know how people use Gentoo man.

@garjura4659 Год назад

It's a waste of time. If you want something minimal use arch. If you want to learn more about Linux than do Linux from scratch instead of Gentoo.

@hypnoz7871 11 месяцев назад

@@garjura4659 Arch ? minimal ? Yeah right. SystemD required, glibc required, and off course full binaries. Gentoo and Void are example of what minimal distros should be. (at the price of learning curve)

@user-gw1sh9qc2s Год назад

Not 100% true. You can use any live environment to build your Gentoo base system; however; if said live environment is not booted with EFI support, you will not have /sys/firmware populated with efivars if you wish to configure your Gentoo system build to boot via UEFI. You must have this otherwise.

@AlexTheNerd 26 дней назад

I think this guide is a bit outdated when it comes to the kernel page, maybe make an updated guide?

@user-gw1sh9qc2s Год назад

You will speed up your builds with the following env variables defined: export NUMCPUS=$(nproc) export NUMCPUSPLUSONE=$(( NUMCPUS + 1 )) export MAKEOPTS="-j${NUMCPUSPLUSONE} -l${NUMCPUS}" export EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=${NUMCPUSPLUSONE} --load-average=${NUMCPUS}"

@rajmajumdar5253 Год назад

What does these do? It's the first time I've seen them

@Kelsar1981 Год назад

Those are not a good idea. -j on MAKEOPTS and emerge work multiplicative. Also MAKEOPTS default is -j$(nproc) anyways. Using load-average seems like a good idea at 1st look, but it is way to slow to react and in the emerge case it only gets evaluated as a package finishes and the next one starts.

Very nice guide, but i hated two moments: - Using sudo su seems stupid to me. sudo makes You a root, su also does this. For me sudo -s is correct, because running su on admin rights granted by sudo is weird... - When i change fstab, i prefer to append (>>), not overwrite (>). fstab file (in Arch, not sure about Gentoo) has a nice command, so i consider >> a good practice and > as something dangerous.
