Re: Gentoo Emerge Repot March 30

On 2024-03-30, Diego Garcia <dg@chaos.rocks> opined as follows:

Today, my fantastic Gentoo system automagically downloaded, configured,
compiled, and installed, all according to my strict specifications, the following
packages.

Note that xv-utils, a downgrade, is at the top of the list.  I don't need it because
I don't use that junk systemd, but I decided to accept it nonetheless.

Gentoo never forces anything.  _I_ am the one that makes the decisions for
_MY_ system.

Don't you wish that you could do the same?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

I ran gentoo for years. I got tired of replacing hdd's and running my cpu
fan at full for hours at a time. Still a great system with many benefits.
But there's something to be said for the simple maintenance of basic linux.
