  • Still extremely customizable, and peerless rolling release features.

    You can mix and match stable and bleeding edge packages very easily and switch at any time.

    When packages make breaking changes, Gentoo will warn you and guide you through the migration before you update and only if you have the affected package installed.








  • I like that more behaves like cat when there’s less than a page of output rather than requiring you to press q to get back to the prompt even when it would just fit.

    There’s probably a way to make less do that too, but more already does it without configuration. Overall I use less most of the time but I like having the option.










  • I’m not complaining; I’m clarifying for less informed readers. It’s a subtle and often misleading distinction.

    Calling a license that leads to more proprietary software “even more open source” is absolutely debatable. The only extra restriction is disallowing free software becoming proprietary, which promotes more openness overall.

    You’re not wrong by any means, but people should understand the actual tradeoff when considering licenses.
