# 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](https://gitlab.com/harha_/gentoo-installer)\
[stole lots of flags and config stuff from here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/150r74m/guide_hyprland_nvidia_extremely_minimal_gentoo/)
## 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)
