DOMINATING Gentoo Linux With a 32 Core Threadripper

Under 100MiB for Xorg?? that's wild, I don't think I've ever gotten under 1GiB with a GUI running (i3). Going to try out Gentoo on a USB sometime and see how low I can get it.

Warum sind hier so wenig Deutsche Kommentare? :D

Aber das Video ist super ;-)

Fuck this music rly...

Just followed your vid for my first gentoo installation. Dankeschön!

I spent quite a bit of minutes fixated on whether he would fix fstab on the sda1 partition filesystem type to fat32?

Why is none talking about the thumbnail.

Thanks to your videos I began installing Gentoo on a G4 Mac Mini. Two days ago. Not even reached compiling the kernel yet. It's very slow. BUT it's a current linux on a eighteen year old Mac with a ppc cpu. At least... If it will finish before it dies.

I'm following along in an apt building at 4am (most of my neighbors are sleeping) and all of a sudden he puts on the German electronica (several decibels higher than his voice) - luckily I have a manual audio kill switch to disconnect my KRK V6 speakers. Somebody had to have gotten jolted awake by that.

You akshually shouldn't shove your entire core load into MAKEOPTS. One formulae I've heard is "Amount of RAM in GB/2" since making large projects with high compile threads can REALLY screw you over with OOM.

The music is so crappy 😂🤣😅

Ok so I've installed Gentoo after watching this. Now what? It's still just a Linux system like all the others.

Well I use a Gen. kernel as a safety belt and my own custom kernel. Building your own kernel is a roller coaster. Either it works brilliantly or it panics at the boot process.

A big thumbs up from me. Twas the gentoo that started my bsd...and NOW back to gentoo. RTFM, should really be, PAY TENSION, else STRESS.

I already installed archilnux before. The warmup has ended, it's time for GENTOOO~~!!!

Blacked................... screens.......with white words...

i like your cover

850MB?!! My plain Debian with XFCE on two 1080p screens only uses 1280MB with xfce4-terminal open.
1050MB if I log out of the graphical session and switch to TTY2.
Hell, just a couple years ago did a Debian install with their non-graphical defaults in a VM and got it to boot with less than 120MB (It idled at 90MB but wouldn't boot)
Anyway. Copy-paste all of the chroot commands in a simple script, on a plain data partition(that is not a core part of the install), later during install mount the partition, cp the script into the gentoo mount point, run script.

why bin???

Im Namen der Deutschen Volksrepublik wird diese Kommentar-Sektion nun eingenommen

If you resist... We send the BassMark to conquer the channel

My android kernel compiled slower than your Gentoo kernel xd

how cute "cha root" 😆

What is a music in video? <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠>

best bdsm video

You should make a archinstall-like script called gentinstall

Maybe show us how to compile in tmp-space? You have enough memory, as I do... It saves a lot of time, and not to mention less disk-activity... And thanks for the video!

Also installing bare system doesn't proof installing gentoo is fast because you have literally no DE people used to. Installing systemd/gnome will take 2 hours for sure. Lets add required apps on top and you will get 3+ hours. Lets install libre office (from sources), etc. you got an idea.

LOL, single threaded part of compilation process took longer in comparison to how much time it was able to use all cores.

Advise: mount /var/tmp/portage as a tmpfs (if you can spare the RAM). This way, the whole compile process will be done in memory and only the install files are written to the hard drive (saves SSD cycles, too).

With the flickering of the capture card in parts of the video, you might want to put an epilepsy warning in the title for this video. I am not an expert on this, but it came to mind when I saw it.

It's ridiculous to even look at memory consumption when you use the default binary kernel, and before reemerging @system and @world with --emptytree (!) with your final use and cpu flags. The earlier you do this the fewer packages you'll have to recompile, and a reemerged and optimized toolchain will already be faster for every subsequent merge.

I totally agree that people should give gentoo a shot, with NO FEAR, and what you did there is what people can try out in a VM to get the experience once, but the real purpose of Gentoo over any other Distro is to leverage all the optimization it provides. You install Gentoo when optimization is what you want. You don't, when you want to go binary / default / "one image runs everywhere" most of the time. I like Gentoo precisely because it involves me in descisions (as opposed to a vendor having to cater to everyone) and as a consequence fits like a glove, while Ubuntu & Co. need to fit everybody. Just like you can't have a custom suit tailored to perfection without standing for measurements, you need to invest a bit of your time here. Sure you can buy a suit off the shelf in 3 minutes, but the fit will either be lucky or just "ok".

What's really nice about Gentoo: You can do all those things from where you left off without the need to reinstall. Your boot/efi-64 partition should probably be vfat (fat32) on a UEFI system, BTW. You'd use ext4 if you boot with legacy BIOS. Check the handbook section on "Preparing your disks" closely for details on this. EDIT: After rewinding the video to the partitioning phase: You actually formatted the EFI system partition correctly as vfat but then you left the default "ext4" in the /etc/fstab later. That's still better than the other way 'round, ;)

Hahahaha nice that you included that German party banger :)

Put this in your .bashrc
export NUMCPUS=$(nproc)
export NUMCPUSPLUSONE=$(( NUMCPUS + 1 ))
export MAKEOPTS="-j${NUMCPUSPLUSONE} -l${NUMCPUS}"
export EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=${NUMCPUSPLUSONE} --load-average=${NUMCPUS}"

And in 5 years it's only going to be faster

А чего тихую компиляцию не включил? С параллельной обработкой?

--jobs=6 и было бы счастье.

lmao the thumbnail

I think I will try and install Gentoo from my Pop OS daily driver.
Should be fun.

Curious why no grub. Probably don't need it on every hard drive

It would be interesting to see a system with these specifications build a full-blown LFS/BLFS.

That's the stuff, maybe with 32 cores you will be able to update Firefox under 40 minutes

Penguins 😭

I installed gentoo onto a hard drive from my laptop a while ago... It took 9 hours. My first install went well.

I hate you ... that effing BassMark song is stuck in my head now....

Hey, you entered wrong fs type for /boot in fstab and the system failed to mount it after reboot because of it.

Me trying to install gentoo with 2 core i3 10th gen (main pc): hehe boiiiii

What is the point of so fast of a processor? I bet you use a heater in the winter! I personally only update in the winter, so I can use my computer as the room's heater!

Imagine how many thinkpads you can buy for the price of that computer? My whole computer army (i7 10th gen PC+Thinkpad X200+Thinkpad X220+Server) costs less than that processor!

The music is great
