[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Gentoo Linux user, I welcome you to Linux. You chose the Red Pill.

P.S. Microsoft hates you because their spyware OS can’t send logs of your computing life to a database. [/quote]

What browser do you use? Why is no one specifying? [/quote]I use Firefox browser with Adblock Plus extension. I can watch YouTube videos with zero ads, although there are sometimes a short delay before video plays.

IceWM is the desktop I use for my Gentoo Linux PC. It is not as polished and shiny as Windows or Linux Mint’s Cinnamon or XFCE but it is fast and easy to use and can be customized via config files. 
That customization is fun and a learning experience if you like to geek out on that kind if thing.

Gentoo Linux uses a rolling release model: there is no End of Life cycle and you do not have to install a new version. Because I keep the system updated, when the Linux Copy Fail vulnerability hit, I was already patched. Lately, it seems AI is being used to find vulnerabilities in Linux.

I do not recommend Gentoo for someone new to Linux due to the complex installation and time-intensive compilation of software. [/quote]
