Oh, how I miss my #xmonad. And, to be honest, my #gentoo. But somehow, somewhen I stopped tweaking my system. .... might have been due to my disappointment over systemd (which ofc never was a thing in gentoo). But this made me lazy.

I remember ages ago my brother-in-lawbtried to talk me into SUSE. I told him: "If I wanted a control panel [yast], I'd use windows."

And then came systemd. This took a lot of my enthusiasm and drained my interest in tinkering.

Time to start all over again. Get rid of kali, install gentoo and - alas! - xmonad.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Gentoo users have a different aura 😎 🔥

#linux #gentoo

I remember all this stuff going on back in the day.

We were running #Gentoo in production at a research facility at the time and it was, umm, interesting, as the quality of the portage tree was very uneven during this time.

Directly related, maybe... maybe not. Shenanigans certainly didn't help I'd expect.

We moved to #Centos in ~2008 IIRC. We were #Redhat before Gentoo so it was a 'comfy old shoes' move.

Today we have a fun one we have Luna from the Xenia Linux project on the show, immutable #Gentoo, a project that started as a meme because of the other #Linux mascot

Fun stuff: x11-misc/albert used to be licensed #GPL. Then the maintainer decided to arbitrarily make it proprietary with a custom license ("freeware, i.e. proprietary and source available", with a limited right to redistribute binaries for specific Linux distributions). Except that the project has received some pretty large contributions before that, and the authors of these contributions hold the copyright to them. Since the contributions were made under the GPL, they cannot be incorporated into a proprietary project.

On top of everything, the maintainer has *deleted* the issue discussing the license issues, in particular the GPL violation.
