Everything just feels way more complicated than it needs to be.
I tried installing Openshot (a video editor) but I couldn’t figure out how to fix the error it spits out when I try to emerge it.
I will now try out Arch and hope I don’t need a master’s degree to install packages.
Edit: Gentoo isn’t the first distro I’ve tried, I’ve been daily driving Debian for more than a year and just wanted to try it out since I heard good things about it. And also I didn’t really need to use Openshot, I just wanted some video editor and arbitrarily chose to install that one.
Also I guess I will just stick with Debian since apparently Arch is also complicated.
akhtchually arch is a little easier than gentoo. gentoo is fully source-based, while arch is binary first. gentoo has use flags, while arch comes preoccupied with flags.
albeit both distros cater to a little more experienced users, there’s that. i also think a more user-friendly distro would be a better start. at least the ones where you can get a working environment by just using a live installer. mint IS a good alternative.
