  • The arch wiki is a good substitute, but the gentoo wiki when it was still around and at its peak was amazing.

    But I agree… Gentoo is not quite keeping up with a lot of details. Like experimenting with refind, dracut, efistubs, I felt I was in the dark a lot of the time. I ended up making very few mistakes, because the distro is very good at working for special cases even if all the details are not explained. Still my favourite distro.


  • I had that from the start… It cannot distinguish some keyboards, and I have two versions of my layout I have to switch between. All keybords work the same on linux, but mac, nah.

    And updates? Holy shit! They broke ssh! It was broken like a month. Ssh connections just died as ‘corrupted’ all the time. And they don’t hotfix it asap? How can a company trust to use them as a work laptop if they break it and don’t fix it?


  • “Slightly worse”. I got a job and was not allowed to use a linux laptop, so I went with mac. I was almost worried that I would like the “just works” aspects everyone have been so exited about. Wow. What a piece of shit it is. Settings items takes forever to load after boot, mouse feels like it is stuck in mud (even if I remove accelleration and increase speed), it cannot wake many monitors up from sleep, it completely disables the keyboard momentarily when activating the screen (and if it fails to wake it, it becomes a flashing, keyboard grabbing nightmare). The window management? I can set up a workspace on this and that keybind, “oh, you disconnected the monitor, well we permuted the keybinds for you” wtf? When I get home and switch to linux, it is such a relief.
