minus-squarebdonvr@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·1 day agoThat’s kind of the point of Gentoo. Though it’s not as hard as it sounds, the package manager (emerge) pretty much does it for you. It just might take a while.
minus-squarepoinck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·16 hours agoPlease don’t be angry with me, but the package manager is called portage; emerge is just one commandline tool to interact with it.

minus-squareLembot_0006@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoI’m talking about laziness. And that stuff you named too.
minus-squareDeebster@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoI’m so confused. Gentoo users are too lazy to run sudo emerge thing?

Gentoo has optional binary packages now.
