I wonder what someone has to do to have worse looking font rendering on Linux. I find the font rendering on Windows worse in every regard and inconsistent (size). On Linux I just set hinting to slight and anti-aliasing to greyscale and all my fonts look nice. Same font with same size on Windows (VSCode is the only program I use on both OS) looks slightly blurred; only the fact that my work display has a higher pixels density makes it ok for me.

What you can find in dconf is well organized compared to what is inside of the regedit hell.

With Gentoo, you can choose any live-iso, open a terminal and start installing. (:

I see at least two problems here:

  1. Don't pull on the cable, pull on the plug.

  2. Use EU power sockets, it is safer, more like :q! when existing vim and unsaved changed you made to the file are lost for sure.

While this is very funny, I think with PHP you can achieve error traces like in Java, nowadays. And no, I am (not) a senior PHP developer. ^^

Edit: I used PHP-4 ages ago and now I am relearning >=PHP-8. Not sure whether junior or senior.

Gnome Classic is a good option for older people who did not grow up with computers but learned to use Windows at work. The traditional look helps them to find the programs they need while everything else is modern.

And it helps the younger people helping the older ones, because under the hood, all is new and shiny. (:

Would a desktop CPU (Zen3) also benefit from these improvements?

What is flatpak?

I think, I should switch to Codium for personal projects. Let's hope there is a binary package on Gentoo.

I just want to confirm, that raisins do not belong anywhere! I rather have pineapples in my cheesecake.

Also very true for Windows 11, sometimes.

I am looking for a distro that is based on Gentoo or is heavily inspired by it. I am a long-time Gentoo user and Debian on system where I don't have the time to maintain it. I love the flexibility of Gentoo, but although my hardware keeps up, I find my self often not willing to wait hours for an update on my main machine. I am glad that there are some binary packages for some programs and I use flatpak, too. But even though, updates take too long, time I want to spend using my computer. I thought of going to Debian everywhere, because it is stable and does not move too fast regarding major updates. So, Arch-based distros are no option for me.

Can someone of the community recommend any Gentoo-based distros?
