Re: [ARTICLE] "...Toughest Linux Operating Systems to insta
I can only assume the author arranged them in numerical order of INCREASING difficulty, because that is the only order that makes sense. Totally depends on skill level of course. I find Gentoo easy to install for example, it's just a PITA because it takes so long and I hate having to compile packages: the speed gains to me, do not outweigh the effort involved.

however, i tried it, and failed after a few days (a short time span for a gentoo install i guess).

No worries - Gentoo always breaks at some point or another during an update for me as well. I have used it on and off for 3 or 4 years and the same thing happens: a bug gets introduced upstream or by a package maintainer and the emerge fails, which doesn't allow you to update at all. It is usually fixed in a matter of hours but after using it for a few weeks and dealing with long compile times and occasional breakages, I reconsider why I am doing this and switch back to a binary package distro. It is so much faster todebiman wrote:i didn't consider that (in one of my previous responses).sevendogsbsd wrote:I find Gentoo easy to install for example, it's just a PITA because it takes so long and I hate having to compile packages: the speed gains to me, do not outweigh the effort involved.

Code: Select all
apt install xxx or pacman -S xxx

that was my feel around gentoo as well. though in the main it ran well.sevendogsbsd wrote:No worries - Gentoo always breaks at some point or another during an update for me as well.

Local authorities have issued a warning that this can happen more often than you might think. “Unfortunately, we’ve seen something similar before,” said Senior Constable John Brady. “Only two months ago we were called into the home of an individual who was in distress after executing the ‘emerge -uDU –with-bdeps=y @world’ command on their Gentoo system. We would urge all users of such systems to go easy on the bigger, more complicated or bloated software, even if you have a fast system. We are very, very concerned someone might actually die one day.”
glad to see they're still at it.
