Follow-up to my first Gentoo install.

[What is the best movie you watched last week?] 26 August
What shows had awkward or otherwise poor returns from cancelations?
When watching a show a while after it’s released you can sometimes tell when a show was canceled because a season will end on a big (occasionally spiteful) event....
There's one thing keeping me from switching to Linux on my PC, it is the lack of support from FL Studio and a lot of VST plugins for music creation. (My experience using Wine has not been very good.)
Is anyone using Debian Sid for gaming?
Well I’m hopping around… again. I thought I had a good stable setup going but then something happens upstream that goes against what I want/believe in (looking at you RedHat) and I’m back on the hunt again....
Would you rather?
So I was asked this by my friends kid. Would you rather live in the most boring place in the world, or be a hat? So to spice it up a little here are some rules....

What is your opinion on tickling ?

What does fedddit mean?
It’s used on so many country instances and I’ve started to wonder.
to anyone who lost someone in the Ukraine War: what were they like?
Any amusing anecdotes to share with that person?
How much does your fridge smell? What are the biggest factors?
Wondering whether people keep a lot of smelly, unwrapped stuff in there, cleaning schedules, etc.
How do primarily overnight package focused carriers make any money on 2-day services?
So this is a rather niche question so I hope it is still relevant to this group, but I was thinking. The big package transport companies(in the US this is UPS and FedEx) make most of their air cargo money on overnight packages, where the business model is pretty straightforward. Have packages fly between a small number of hubs...
How to figure out the exact driver needed for the WiFi card to install it on Linux?
I apologize if this seems like a trivial matter, but I have a laptop (a Lenovo Ideapad 3 to be exact) and I can’t get WiFi (or Bluetooth) to work on anything other than Ubuntu 23.04 and its flavors. I tried OpenSUSE Leap and Debian 12, both couldn’t detect the built-in WiFi card. I also tried Ubuntu-based distros such as...
Any of you ever played with IPFS?
Seems quite promising! I heard it could use more maturing.
What is going on with the number of active users?
Hey there everyone! I have a possibly noobish question about the number of active users....
Ubisoft Connect update broke linux compatibility
New version of Proton Experimental fixes it…
Is there a way to prevent mixed cereals from separating?
I quite enjoy cereals that have a range of different ingredients - like oat clusters with freeze dried strawberry or museli with almonds and raisins. Over time though, the oats rise to the top and the smaller bits get trapped at the bottom so when you’re near the end of the packet it’s 70% dust....
YSK: All social and cultural groups are diverse and hold people of many different views
No nation in the world is a mono-culture, and often times, people repeat statements they saw specific folk from other cultures make and assume they speak for their entire culture....

What would life be like if we had 2 moons? With 2 different lunar cycles, how would we tell which time of the year it is without months?
XBPS has spoiled me - advice needed.
One of the few things that differentiates the major distros is the package manager. I’ve been running void on my laptop for the last 3 years and love it. XBPS is super fast and easy to use. It has never left me with a broken system either. That said, I’ve got the itch to switch....
BTRFS and moving /home to subvolume, in need of a sanity check.
So I installed Debian 12 with btrfs and apparently it only uses a single subvolume rootfs. I would like to have my /home in a separate subvolume (and possibly /var too I guess) and with a flat subvolume structure. I started figuring out on how to do it and I feel like I’m not entirely sure yet so I need a sanity check....
