do not use this is broken and will probably soft brick your computer, ill fix it one day

a horrible customized gentoo-install

i was too lazy to figure out how to fork it from github my apologies

source/upstream/whatever it's called i forgot
stole lots of flags and config stuff from here

some notes

  • in its current state, it doesnt work cause fstab doesnt use uuids (which i prefer cause it looks cooler)
  • if you've never installed gentoo before, don't use automated installer because it makes you miss out on the unique parts of gentoo
    • or just use any other distro that's not gentoo lmao
  • if you keep running out of memory when emerging, modify the makeopts to what gentoo wiki recommends
  • this thing is as stable as a russian rocket back in the space race, expect your computer to brick when things go wrong
  • i didnt test this yet lol

"features"

  1. no mbr
  2. no full disk encryption
  3. amd64 openrc only (could probably modify this in less than 10 seconds by changing stage3 download)
  4. assumes intel cpu and nvidia gpu

DO NOT REBOOT AFTER AUTOMATED INSTALLATION

to setup efibootmgr

emerge --oneshot efibootmgr
efibootmgr -c -d /dev/nvme0n1 -p 1 -L "GENTOO" -l '\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI'

replace nvme0n1 with sd* depending on what hard drive you're using

emerge --depclean efibootmgr
emerge --depclean

then reboot

you might need to go to your BIOS to change boot priority
you could just use grub by changing some things if this doesnt work

todo

  • continue figure out how shell works
  • automatically install programs i like
  • fix fstab
  • save money everyday
  • not break things (hopefully)

gentoo is awful(ly good)
