I don't understand the people who say it's long, like no it isn't, 1:15:24 is a completely reasonable (if not even a bit short) time for the topic.

The weirder part is the issues they don't do that in.

I thought this was gonna be a "this comment can only be viewed by lemmy gold subscribers" thing

I've been using Gentoo for a bit less than a month now. Installing the binary version of a package can easily be done by providing one or two flags to emerge. The binary packages are compiled pretty generic, to work with most systems, so you lose out on most of the compilation level control.

I recommend it to the people I have faith in.

It boils down to them having no idea what they're doing, asking for help with almost every tiny thing, and cluttering forums with basic questions that have been answered thousands of times already.

I only recommend Linux to people who I think could actually use it with little help.

use rufus (a website)

rufus isn't a website.

I don't want a lot of tech illiterate people using Linux.

reminds me of !windows_help@iusearchlinux.fyi

Flatpaks can't just access your home directory.

my favourite part is Steam throwing in a symlink, a broken symlink, and a directory of 4 files and 7 more symlinks that all point to a more reasonable point in ~/.local/share/steam/

That's a pretty old kernel you got there
