Help me, please.

Gentoo-based Redcore Linux is the only operating system on my laptop now.

Secureboot is always disabled in UEFI.

I have every reason to be suspicious of anything Microslop.

Thankfully, a Gentoo Linux based system won't install this Microsoft UEFI Secureboot DBX without my consent.

But I want to get rid of it completely.

This is what I see in my package manager.

Help me, please!

I recently downloaded Gentoo Linux, I don't have little RAM but since Gentoo is one of the distros with greater control, I wanted to know, what you did to optimize and decrease the use of CPU and RAM.

So I wanna rice gentoo, this is my first time installing any DIY distro, I've use arch before this but a friend installed it for me. I wanted to use hyprland but these packages are masked and on the gentoo hyprland installation guide it tells me to write "*/*::hyproverlay" inside /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/hyproverlay. I still can't download the packages because they are masked. I rlly dont get the hang of accepting these licenses or whatever. PLS HELP ME

Install more packages. Be more oldschool. :-) Unfortunately i had to re-setup my stage1 from the times, now only stage3 because no sage1 anymore :-(((

chrissie@fehmarn ~ $ ls /|grep -i stage
stage3-amd64-20150430.tar.bz2

Correction to my previous post: Linux 6.18.39 had already landed in the Gentoo repository.

I originally checked with:

emerge -s '=sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.18.39'

and incorrectly interpreted the zero search results as meaning that the ebuild was unavailable. emerge --search was the wrong command for checking a specific package version.

The correct check was:

emerge -pv '=sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.18.39'

Portage confirmed that 6.18.39 was available as a new kernel slot. I built it using my normal sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel + savedconfig workflow, regenerated the GRUB configuration, and successfully booted both the console and Xorg.

Current kernel:

6.18.39-gentoo-dist

I’ll keep 6.18.38 and 6.18.37-p1 as known-good fallbacks. The older 6.18.35 kernel will only be removed after further validation.

Thanks to the users who pointed out the incorrect check.

I've been using a stage3 image with distrobox for months now, and it just works, I can emerge all my regular programs and tools, even GUI applications run without hiccups. Gentoo is pretty good for this kind of usage.

Still punked out with systemd.....
